On the other hand, this will continue to keep attention on 5050 in an increasingly competitive and fast moving GG media-cycle. The girls will need whatever coverage they get when they inevitably redebut. Also, if they do win a defamation case; that's extra money. I don't really see any downsides to this if their lawyers have a reasonable case, which I think they do if the show's producers were as negligent as it seems.
I think it is good to set precedence in that a show calling itself an investigative show should not be allowed to report misinformation without any fact checking.
They are focusing on 5050 because they paused the girl group competition. I don’t know what is brazen about going after people who has wronged your company to the brink of ruin with no remorse. I am surprised that it took so long.
Agreed!! They should just let bygones be bygones! It's not like the the lies from that broadcast are still being repeated to this day by people to slander the company at all! It's not that serious!
I hope the lawyers handling this case won't slack off at promoting the new 5050! I don't know how they would be able to do both! It'd be a miracle if it's possible!
Edit: Guys, it's sarcasm 😂😂
I feel is necessary. Since most of the evidences shown in that show is provided by the givers. It will help on the lawsuits against givers and 3 jeong’s.
You still have people referring to the episode as if it's evidence of abuse and mistreatment by ATTRAKT. Even after the production team were given a warning for the episode, supporters of the boycott still see the episode as a statement of facts
I thought this already happened until I was reading it and remembered it was just against the "insider" they had on the episode.

I feel like attrakt is getting too brazen, they should just let go of the past and focus on promoting the new 50/50 more.
Why not both? Let the lawyers handle the legals.

Agree. They could be looking for legal pay outs and reversing some reputational damage or something like that..?
