Reporter Lee Jae-hoon = The situation of the new K-pop girl group ‘FIFTY FIFTY’, which is cracking the British and American single charts with ‘CUPID’, has caused the copyright of ‘Cupid’ by the agency and the service company. \u00b7 It is spreading to the battle surrounding the neighboring area.<\/p>\n
On the 5th, Dougiverse, who was in charge of 5P55 music production service, said, \u201cI feel very sorry that Attract CEO Jeon Hong-joon, who prides himself as a \u201830-year veteran producer\u2019, cannot even distinguish between adjacent rights and copyrights.\u201d revealed <\/p>\n
The previous day, it was claimed that Dougiverse owned 95% of Fifty Fifty’s ‘Cudid’ copyright. As a result, on the other hand, a reaction came out that it was questionable that a service company, not Fifty Fifty’s agency Attract, owns the copyright of ‘Cupid’.<\/p>\n
The song was bought out by Ahn Seong-il, CEO of Dugibus, paying about 9,000 dollars (11.7 million won) to Swedish students. Attract claims that CEO Jeon Hong-joon later returned the music fee to CEO Ahn, but Dugiverse did not provide information about the copyright purchase. <\/p>\n
Regarding this, Dugiverse explained that what attractt paid for and retained was ‘neighboring rights’, which are the rights of record producers. Dugibus does not have any right to adjacency. Neighboring rights are the rights of those who have made a certain contribution to increasing the value of copyrighted works under the Copyright Act, and are protected in accordance with the authorship, and generally refer to the rights of record producers in relation to music. <\/p>\n
However, the copyright of ‘Cupid’ is owned by Digiverse. Copyright is the right of the person who created the work. Regarding music, it is the right that lyricists, composers, arrangers, etc. have. Dugiverse explained, “After discussions with the writers of ‘Cupid’ through legal procedures, we signed a rights transfer contract, paid the price, and retained it.” <\/p>\n
In particular, Dugiverse emphasizes that this process took place before the release of ‘Cupid’. \u201cIn order to simplify the lengthy process of procedural approval work in the course of global promotion, which will be used in many ways, such as editing lyrics and compositions, mixing in multiple versions, and collaboration with other artists, a legitimate process was created through Dugiverse Publisher. It means that it has been fulfilled.” “It is obviously a right acquired in the course of the company’s work, and the publisher Dugiverse owns the shares of overseas authors other than Ahn Seong-il, who actually participated in the work,” he added.<\/p>\n
Dugiverse protested that the contract and specific information could not be disclosed to protect personal information, but that it had a separate invoice, not the music fee claimed by Attract, in securing the right. <\/p>\n
Dougi Serve said, \u201cThe music fee invoice owned by Attract (a document proving the fulfillment of the terms of the sales contract) states \u2018Music Production Fee,\u2019 and the transfer fee paid by Dugiverse states \u2018Music Interactive Property Rights Free. (Music Intellectual Property Rights Fee)’. This is obviously a different content, and the data will be disclosed in court.”

Therefore, he said, “The claim that Dougiverse purchased the copyright for the song fee paid by Attract is an obviously false fact that cannot be established.” I want to ask if you are doing it backwards.” <\/p>\n
“It is true that Dugiverse pre-purchased the song without any problems on behalf of Attract, which had difficulty securing the song due to lack of production costs at the time, and attracted’s funds were secured and returned. I have no choice but to express my deep regret along with considerable displeasure.” <\/p>\n
He added, “Please stop the act of continuing secondary harm with false claims and edited data. After that, we will faithfully prove the facts in accordance with legal procedures.” <\/p>\n
Fifty Fifty, consisting of four all-Korean members, including Kina (20, main rapper), Saena (19, rhythm and main dancer), Shio (18, main vocalist), and Aran (18, lead vocalist), is a ‘small and medium-sized idol (belonging to a small and medium-sized agency). It is known as ‘the miracle of idols’. After debuting with their first EP ‘THE FIFTY’ on November 18 last year, they entered the 100th place on the US Billboard’s main single chart ‘Hot 100’ on April 1, about 4 months after their debut. They became the fastest K-pop group to enter the chart after their debut. Since then, along with ‘Hot 100’, they have been in the UK’s Official Singles Chart Top 100 for 14 consecutive weeks, respectively, and have been steadily attracting attention in the UK and the US. It is certain to enter the two charts for 15 consecutive weeks. <\/p>\n
However, Attract pointed out CEO Ahn as being behind the recent 55 Fifty extortion attempt. At the same time, on the 26th of last month, Attract sent a certificate of contents to Warner Music Korea. On the same day, Warner Music Korea explained that the related content was groundless.<\/p>\n
In addition, on the 27th of the same month, CEO Jeon filed a complaint with the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul on charges of obstruction of business, damage to electronic records, fraud and breach of duty against CEO Ahn and three others. On the other hand, Dugiverse responded by saying, “We will take legal action against the false accusation against CEO Jeon Hong-joon and the company’s representative at Attract and the continuous spread of false information through the media.”<\/p>\n
Separately, on the 19th of last month, the four members filed an application for a temporary injunction to suspend the exclusive contract against Attract at the Seoul Central District Court through their legal representatives. The four members said, “This is an action taken after Attract violated the contract and caused the destruction of the relationship of trust. A letter was sent out pointing out various problems and requesting correction, but Attract did not make any effort to explain the requirements and continued to press the press. Through this, the members’ honor was damaged.” On this afternoon, at the Seoul Central District Court, the first interrogation date will be held for the application for injunction to suspend the exclusive contract that Fifty Fifty filed against Attract.<\/p>\n
