The Givers CEO Ahn Sung Il is facing additional embezzlement charges.

Previously on February 16th, group FIFTY FIFTY's agency ATTRAKT released an official statement to confirm that The Givers CEO Ahn Sung Il, accused of attempting to poach FIFTY FIFTY from their agency, has been sent to prosecution for obstruction of justice, destruction of records, and breach of trust in FIFTY FIFTY poaching case.

On February 23rd, ATTRAKT released another statement confirming, "The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office acknowledged Ahn Sung Il's embezzlement charges and his case has been sent to prosecution.'"

Previously, ATTRAKT filed a lawsuit against Ahn Sung Il in June 2023 and then followed up with additional allegations of embezzlement and forgery of business documents a month later. 

Meanwhile, the ongoing case surrounding ATTRAKT's CEO Jeon Hong Jun, The Givers CEO Ahn Sung Il, and FIFTY FIFTY began on June 19, 2023, when the members of FIFTY FIFTY filed for the nullification of their exclusive contracts with ATTRAKT, shortly after the massive success of their single "Cupid". However, the court dismissed this request in August. It was then revealed that Ahn Sung Il and The Givers had schemed to "poach" the girl group FIFTY FIFTY from ATTRAKT by coercing the members to pursue legal separation from their label.
