It has been revealed that FIFTY FIFTY, a girl group, released a new compilation album titled ‘The Beginning’ on September 22 at 11 AM KST. The interesting aspect is that the album was released without any prior promotion. Warner Music Korea is listed as the distributor, ATTRAKT as the management, and the album’s chief composer/producer is Ahn Sung Gil (SIAHN).

The compilation album comprises 11 tracks, including “Cupid (Twi Ver.)”, “Cupid (ft. Sabrina Carpenter)”, “Cupid (Twin Ver.) (Live Studio Ver. OT4)”, “Lovin’ Me (Live Studio Ver. OT4)”, “Tell Me (Live Studio Ver. OT4)”, “Higher”, “Log”, and “Cupid (Twin Ver.) – Sped Up Version”.

Meanwhile, the legal contract lawsuit between FIFTY FIFTY and ATTRAKT is still ongoing, making it unclear why Warner Music Korea agreed to release the album at this time.

[UPDATE]: CEO Jun Hong Joon of ATTRAKT provided clarification regarding the compilation album. He told media outlets, “This version is a repackaged version for U.S. release. The planning for this version took place in May, and a contract was signed with Warner Music Korea in early July. At the beginning of August, I shipped about 156,000 copies to the U.S. for distribution, and that is the album which has been revealed on domestic music streaming platforms today.”
