Fifty Fifty, a new girl group that caused a stir
At 2pm on the 13th, the agency Attract held a press conference regarding Fifty Fifty's skyrocketing popularity.
On this day, Aran responded, "I have thought a lot about the harmony of the four since I was a trainee. When you listen to the song, you will be able to feel that they are in good harmony."
He continued, "The message we wanted to convey was positive. In this 'Cupid', the message conveyed was clear. The subjective part is revealed. Cupid is a being who does not help us, and we can actively achieve it with our own strength. “I wanted to tell a lot of stories,” he explained.
Kina said, "We want to stick to the basics. It's the most important part in expressing our music. Also, not only me, but all the members have the will to write lyrics and composition. There will be opportunities to show it."
Aran said, "I wanted to go original. I wanted to go beyond orthodoxy. This is where the idea of sticking to the basics came from."
He also mentioned the 'Cupid Challenge', which is garnering a lot of attention. Saena said, "Actually, we did the challenge because we liked it. I think people would think it was embarrassing and, in vulgar terms, a 'smart hit', but I remember we expressed our opinions among ourselves."
Saena then added, "Actually, what is essential is our music. Many people listen to it thanks to our high-quality music and good energy."
Regarding the modifier 'small-medium miracle', Shio said, "I don't pay that much attention to it. Rather, the agency's focus and interest in us has produced good results."
Lastly, he said, "I will become a sincere artist. I think this is just the beginning. I will do my best in my future activities," and added, "Please show a lot of interest and love."
Fifty Fifty entered the Billboard Hot 100 four months after their debut through ‘Cupid’. It is currently ranked 85th. It also ranked first on Spotify in 10 countries, becoming the fourth K-pop group to do so after BTS, Blackpink, and New Jeans. In addition, the song is achieving amazing results, including ranking on domestic music charts.
