  •  "ATTRAKT, I'm rooting for you to walk only on the flowery path."
  •  "This case is unusual because normally it's the company trying to screw the artist, but this is the complete opposite! This is why Korean people are upset and are trying to teach them a lesson."
  •  "The FIFTY FIFTY members were just betrayers, nothing else! Hope the company wins the lawsuits!"
  •  "This was very shameful to the K-pop industry, small start-up companies, and idol trainees who are trying to make it."

However, a great portion of netizens opposed the idea, stating that this upcoming girl group won't be able to surpass FIFTY FIFTY's impact. Others expressed their frustration over the outlook of K-netizens.

  •  "Don't be fooled and don't be greedy. Your company is going nowhere without FIFTY FIFTY."
  •  "Koreans better stop trying to convince us the members are evil cause we don't stand with an oppressive, misogynistic, crazy society like Korea."
  •  "This group will just flop."
  •  "Is FIFTY FIFTY not enough? You need another one?"
  •  "Have fun being starved guys."

Earlier on August 28, FIFTY FIFTY's exclusive contract suspension requests were all denied by the Seoul Central District Court, winning the favor to ATTRAKT. The court also enumerated several reasons why the appeals weren't plausible for suspension.

This was followed by ATTRAKT CEO Jeon Hong Joon's disclosure that the agency has signed an investment deal with David Yong, the CEO of Evergreen Group Holdings. It also confirmed that Jeon Hong Joon has completed the transferring of funds.

Netizens then speculated that this investment would be used for a new girl group, leading to their support and anticipation.
