Fifty Fifty (Korean: 피프티 피프티; RR: Pipeuti Pipeuti; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean girl group formed by Attrakt in 2022. The group consists of five members: Keena, Chanelle, Yewon, Hana, and Athena. Originally a four-piece ensemble, Saena, Aran, and Sio left in 2023 following the termination of their contracts. They debuted on November 18, 2022, with their extended play (EP) The Fifty.
They experienced a commercial breakthrough with their viral hit single "Cupid". The single, which was released in February 2023, made Fifty Fifty the fastest K-pop group to enter the US Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart, within four months of debut.[1] Furthermore, it made them the first K-pop girl group to enter the top ten of the UK charts.[2] In 2023, they signed to Warner Music Korea.[2]
Later that year, amidst a series of legal disputes and allegations surrounding the group's contracts and treatment by Attrakt, group members Saena, Aran, and Sio had their contracts terminated, leaving Keena as the only remaining member in the label. It was subsequently decided that Fifty Fifty would re-debut in September 2024, with Keena and four new members added to the group. [3]
