Former Fifty Fifty members Aran, Shio, and Sena are debuting anew with the group Ablume, collaborating with CEO Ahn Seong-il on a new album.
On the 26th, their agency Massive Entertainment noted to OSEN, "During discussions about Ablume's future activities, we suggested producing to CEO Ahn Seong-il at the request of the members. CEO Ahn accepted this, and we are working together."
Aran, Shio, and Sena debuted in November 2022, but six months later, they filed a motion for provisional suspension of the exclusive contract against their agency Attract. While they were continuing their activities' suspension, Kina withdrew the appeal just before the appellate court's ruling and returned to the original agency, while the three continued with the lawsuit.
However, the court found it difficult to see that Attract violated its obligation to provide settlement materials and health management, and dismissed the exclusive contract's provisional suspension motion and appeal from Fifty Fifty.
Attract waited for the members' return but ultimately notified the three of the termination of their exclusive contracts. Additionally, they are pursuing legal disputes by filing a damage compensation lawsuit against CEO Ahn Seong-il of The Givers, who was responsible for music production with them.
Kina is renewing the group as a five-member ensemble with new members and continuing activities, while Aran, Shio, and Sena signed an exclusive contract with Massive Entertainment last August and are preparing for a debut in the first half of this year.
The group name Ablume is a neologism utilizing the German word "blume," meaning flower, representing "growth" and "the process of blooming." Just as a small CIAAT grows into a beautiful flower, the three members are finding their own colors based on their unique charms and potentials, and merging their colors into one to create diverse music.
As news spread that the three members returning as Ablume are once again teaming up with CEO Ahn Seong-il ahead of their debut, curiosity arises about what steps they will take next.
