Hello, Attract informs you.
First of all, we would like to express our infinite gratitude to our domestic and overseas fans who have generously supported our artists over the past few months.
We know very well that there are many fans who are curious and worried about why our artists are not active at a time when they should be in full swing. In fact, one of the members had medical symptoms, so we discussed with the member and his/her family, and with both parties' consent, treatment was carried out according to the doctor's instructions, and surgery was performed on May 2nd. According to the doctor's diagnosis that a recovery period of more than one month, or two months at the longest, was necessary, the artists' activities were suspended, and other members were given a break as well, judging that health was the most important.
During this period, we have been fully prepared to greatly expand and improve our existing system so that we can more faithfully support our artists. Our basic policy is to pursue the long-term growth and development of our artists rather than focusing on immediate immediate gains.
However, while we are preparing so diligently, external forces are being identified that are approaching our artists and enticing them to violate their exclusive contract with us. These external forces are committing illegal acts by inducing slanderous accusations against the company and glorification of flattery against themselves to induce their artists to make wrong decisions and sign contracts with them, ignoring valid exclusive contracts. .
This kind of act by outside forces is an act of trampling on the pure love of fans, and it can greatly damage the image and future potential of artists who have just debuted for only 7 months, and furthermore, it can have a serious negative impact on K-pop as a whole. .
Although we started out as a small company, we, who had a dream more than anyone else, wrote a new history of K-pop while overcoming adversity despite the difficult financial situation, and even at this moment, we are writing a new history in an ongoing form, not only in Korea but also in Korea. Fans all over the world are cheering. We cannot contain our anger at the illegal acts of impure external forces trying to rob this tremendous miracle achieved by a small and powerless agency, but we will respond calmly and resolutely and fight to the end without any compromise with these external forces to hold them legally responsible. will be
Deeply reflecting on the words of Chung Moo-gong, "If you want to die, you will surely live, and if you want to live, you will surely die," we fight with desperate determination to protect our artists, who have become valuable talents in Korea, and strive for their development. We will repay the fans' support.
thank you
