Furthermore, the CEO of FIFTY FIFTY agency ATTRAKT revealed that the public has responded very well to the new Kpop girl group project. The CEO stated that shortly after ATTRAKT announced the new project, songs had been pouring in endlessly to the company. The CEO admitted that it was thanks to the support of the fans and singer-songwriter Kim Se Hwang.
Kim Se Hwang is the legendary guitarist of famous bands, including N.E.X.T and NovaSonic. He was the first Korean artist who had his guitar displayed at the Hollywood RockWalk of The Guitar Center.
Today, the legendary guitarist serves as the COO of ATTRAKT USA. He held meetings with various US companies, including Warner Music. Initially, he was preparing for FIFTY FIFTY activities in the US. But with the ongoing lawsuit between FIFTY FIFTY and the agency, he’s now focusing on ATTRAKT’s new Kpop girl group preparation process.
“Singer-songwriter Kim Se Hwang is our primary liaison in receiving songs from the US. So far, we have received 800 songs, mostly from Swedish composers. But we have only listened to 200 of them.
They’re all so good, spanning from girl-crush to easy-listening concepts.”

Thank you to everyone who’s had my back – I’ve been so touched that I’ve even teared up from all the love.
I was in such a rough spot two months back, questioning everything. But now, in just over two months, it’s like a new chapter. ‘ATTRAKT’ has become a new brand with so much support, tons of songs, and even investors showing interest. We have even secured investments.
I believe this is a miracle.”
