Nobody knows who the singers are. They only know the song from Tiktok. No western people care about your Payola one hit wonders.

[@LeonaDiCarryo]

I don't see why it is so difficult for some people to accept that sometimes the stars just align. Fifty Fifty just happened to release some good songs, at the right time, as well as market it in surprisingly good ways. it happens all the time, that unknown artists, or artists from small labels release a song, and BOOM, suddenly everyone has heard of them. This is not a new phenomenon, and it does not mean that any nefarious deals have been going on behind closed doors. It is usually just a case of right place, right time. And the whole conspiracy about the financial struggle being a lie because they released several MV's is also pretty ridiculous. If you actually look at the MV's, it doesn't seem like the productions cost is all that big. There are few sets compared to a lot of K-pop MV's, and they are reused a lot throughout the MV's. The members usually have one set each for solo shots, and maybe there is a set for a group shot, but even that is sometimes not even the case. This is not to say the MV's are bad at all. They make it work because the directing and shot selection is good. But it does show that they don't have a massive budget for these MV's.

[@chiffonmacmillan7417]

even their best MV (lovin me) imo, its use very minimum property, its just the editing really good & on points & it matched the song itself.

[@antonioc.5778]

Is no unknown that kpop fans are one of the most fanatics people in the world, they understand success as a combined effort of idols and fans that spam and praise everything they do everywhere they can, they can't grasp the reality that "Cupid" is just another Gamganstyle, a song that is catchy and got viral, people like it, simple as that.

[@blakeforest6904]

Yep. Sometimes you catch lightning in a bottle.

[@ManInShadow88]

It simply because their song is basically so good in quality. Like your thought, I dont think they spend big budget in MV like what other group did. Take an example, Cupid is just like two - four sets. Even "Tell Me" (my most fave song from them) doesnt have proper MV.

[@crystalsnow1138]

I'm happy for Fifty Fifty's success, I am a bit worried though about them possibly being a 1 hit wonder. Like I wonder how many people who love the song actually care about the group in general and their other music. I guess only time will tell, but I wish them the best.

[@mattgab19]

Anyone who has a hit has the potential to be a one-hit-wonder, but don’t let that fact bother you.

[@Z0MB13R0T]

i honestly doubt it, they’ve been gaining a lot of fans in the past few weeks + their others songs have been getting attention too

[@Blitz_Beast]

Anyone who genuinely appreciates good music, will give their other music a listen and stick with them. I've been with them since they were getting less than a thousand views on their channel, they'll be fine 🥰

[@anistardi]

@@Z0MB13R0T If you don't believe and don't like it, it is up to you. You can choose to not listen to their songs, or not to buy their album. But if you make a slander, there is the problem. Slander is criminal act.

[@yukumangorice]

tbh, considering how popular it is, they only need like 30% of those who love cupid to stick around as fans to be a successful group. i dont think thats too difficult.

[@mariee__123]

this group deserves all the success they are getting, it's impressive how a group who came from such an unknown company are doing so well. I'll say they are the most successful group and organic group that came out of 4th generation groups. not a fan of them but I'm glad that they are doing so well and their song is really good so I know they'll definitely break more records

Fifty fifty are doing so great with their cute song Cupid getting a lot of radio play and becoming an international hit, topping high in the charts here in the UK, well done to them, they are very talented, have great voices and appeal and will continue to achieve big things 🇬🇧👏🏻

[@giselleakgae4100]

What makes Cupid twin ver special is its on the level of other english language hit songs but its K-pop. Its like a proof of concept that K-pop can make english language songs on the level of something like "Call me Maybe"

[@sk.m.subhani7888]

Fifty fifty is one of the best kpop group their amazing vocals and dance abilities i hope they will achieve more in the future i always support fifty fifty

[@jessi5288]

The only people accusing them of payola is one or two fandoms. They’re doing what they’re doing because people are listening to them. And it’s not just their fans, or kpop stans, but locals. Anyway, I’ll fight for my girls if I need to. I’m happy they’ve been finding success!

[@jamflox5391]

The best route for 50/50 is to release songs that aren’t KPOP generic cuz their biggest asset is their voice. They can do songs same as new jeans or songs that are more melody driven. Girl crush and cutesy type songs are very saturated. Down to earth, relatable, and easy but smooth on the ear would be the best way to go.

[@ArtIsDrawing]

Their generic because of the song theme!!

[@brandonflores7239]

I disagree. Don’t change what’s not broken. I think their style will be here to stay as long as fans can relate.

[@carolinaeyas2048]

True....just disagree on "same as"....they could create old genres like jazz (because of Aran), city pop like vibe....but with their own style....they might also change kpop in general....a kpop that is more diverse not just "popular" songs or typical kpop autotune, good looking visuals driven kind of culture.....cupid is successful because it is totally different in today's era....like finally a reign of good eargasmic music again....

[@marahsoore6452]

On Mother's day my mall (one located in the US south) played Cupid. I never hear Kpop music in my area so this to me screams of how far they have come and I can't wait to listen to them more here in the US.

[@yaemirko]

I am turkish and there is just no way they could've stolen the song. No one knows that song and it barely has 2 million views. Fifty fifty is one of my top kpop groups since debut and I look forward to their future achievements

Everywhere I go I can hear Fifty Fifty's "cupid" playing💘 At work, malls and food parks people are either listening or doing TikTok videos for the whole month 😮 honestly and undeniably Fifty Fifty's music makes a revolutionary turns on KPOP music, we need this kind of vibe on KPOP not just some normal stuffs that every KPOP group can do. We want to see new things🎉

[@cyruss9455]

True, I'm tired hearing Experimental Songs and Badass Dark Concepts in KPOP, We need this type of music that are easy to listen but catchy and addicting with less rapline and without noisy instrumental that will hurt your ear when you listen..

As a Hunnie from day one, I'm beyond proud of the girls and the company for what they've done from day one. They have even provided content on their channel unique to what I've seen from other groups and since the beginning have had 20+ caption translations on their videos to spread to as many possible fans globally as they could. Size doesn't matter, other companies could learn SO MUCH from Attrakt. As for the haters.. thanks for verifying Fifty Fifty has made it, wouldn't be official without pathetic doubters 😂

Wait their fandom name is hunnies?! Aww so cute i'm a hunnie now ❤️

[@lea-anon]

yesss well said!!!

[@juhyassmin]

PREACH! Been a Hunnie from day one as well. I will defend FIFTY FIFTY with everything. Because sadly this hate isn't going to stop. If their new songs don't live up to "Cupid", the haters will be quick to call them flops the first chance they get. I'm a fan of groups from the BIG 4, but most of my favorite groups are from smaller companies. Their success boils down to great music that EXPLODED on social media, & Attrakt releasing the music at the right time. I can't wait for the girls' comeback & what the future holds for FIFTY FIFTY! Sio, Saena, Aran, & Keena, WE WILL SUPPORT YOU ALWAYS! FIGHTING! 💕

[@ne2271]

These girls are extremely talented. I've watched their other videos, and they're always singing live and can do rapping on the spot. They can do beatbox too, and harmonize instantly. The fans of the other groups are afraid that someone from the small company is surpassing their faves, and they will do everything to prevent this from happening. The girls have their strength, and that is their vocals. Their company is also doing a good job in putting 20+ subtitles on their contents, reaching global fans. I am not afraid that they are going to be a one hit wonder, as their other songs are now getting recognition. I believe that they are going to have a bright future. Good job on Hunnies for always promoting FIFI on a very positive way.

[@zacharikurbah6358]

People who accused them of something they didn't do, shows how jealous they are of their successful song. They need to grow up and stop wasting time sending hate and insecurities on them

Fifty fifty is iconic!!

[@TSRTRS007]

It's so smart of them to release a twin or English version of their song cupid which made them blow-up, so happy for fifty-fifty that the general public loved their song Cupid. Hoping their Korean tracks would get the same impact and they'll establish a solid fandom that will support and sustain the girls all throughout their career.

[@rangyasongthing318]

It is famous and trending outside Korea. That is why they didn't get any awards on music bank and inkigayo and many other korean award shows. K- Netizens only buy albums and prefers song that came from big companies. Such a loss of this Masterpiece 😞

[@bunnypop6018]

I stumbled upon Fifty Fifty Cupid on Spotify (I don't have tiktok) and instantly liked it. The enchanting voice that kicked off the song caught my attention, and I couldn't resist listening to the entire album filled with more delightful tracks. Regardless of the unfounded accusations, I genuinely enjoy all their songs, and it's puzzling why people feel the need to throw shade at them. They truly deserve all the success they've achieved

[@NekoKei_FEARNOT]

They r getting good radio plays and all but content wise and promotion wise they r still lacking. I believe it's got to do with their company. Being a small company and not expecting big shot results in such a short amount of time must have been overwhelming. Their company must be making proper plans for their next move so that they can keep their recent success as stable as possible. Wishing them best of luck for future.😊

[@TS-fk7ws]

Even big companies suck at promotion

[@animec-dramaskpop6362]

Did you look up their fan engagement across all the popular social media platforms or are you only relying on their KZbin stats? Their engagement on TikTok can be higher than their KZbin engagement. More ppl are on TikTok which is why it's the most popular app at the moment.

[@tashasmithy5795]

I’m so proud of them. This just goes to show you don’t need to be from one of the big 4 to become monster rookies. These girls are breaking all of these records without the big company privilege. I’ll support, they deserve respect. I don’t understand why people are so against smaller companies creating successful bands

[@evap.5121]

I really like Ive's and new jeans style of music but there's something more real, authentic and relatable about Fifty Fifty. There's a lot of emotion in their voices when they sing and the way they talk about their music, you can tell that it's truly theirs in the way they seem to feel connected to it. It's similar to how i feel about (g)idle and mamamoo. I thought "cupid" was a bop but I became their fan after hearing "lovin me" and seeing an interview of them talking about that song.

[@bunnymaiii4248]

The so called evidence is ridiculous like what ceo wouldn’t want there group to succeed?

[@orion5445]

Many of these fandoms feel unnecessarily threatened when an unknown group make the chart. So they find any excuse to bring down the group to prevent them from surpassing their faves. I'm not say they definitely will but fans get paranoid when a group makes similar achievements to their faves.

[@JO-qn8gy]

Many fandoms from the big 4 target IVE. Now they have their sights set on 50 50. Starship and Attrakt should combine to become one of the big 5... Ha ha ha

[@ne2271]

Agree on this. The fans of these groups are threatened because they are worried that groups from smaller companies will surpassed their faves. They will do everything they can to prevent it from happening. These girls have their strength, and that is their good vocals. Fiftu Fifty can definitely make it.

[@MUDEOK480]

[@EllaL-ce3ny]

I feel as if everyone nowadays downplays K-pop because no one has really branched out like BTS AND BLACKPINK but, those big groups have done so much for K-pop that 4th gen has a path built to keep the music genre flourishing, it’s all so beautiful.

Ah ya, I remember when all the fandoms were touting NewJeans as everyone's fav group, but the more successful it became, the more hate it got. I hope 5050 will always be a group that everyone loves and create good music. It's not worth hating just 'cuz it's successful like other big groups.

[@llunawhere]

Suddenly tiktok was filled with "Cupid", and many ppl said that the song was better than Newjeans. I thought Cupid was ordinary and similar to bside Lesserafim (sour grapes & good parts) nothing special. But then Cupid's tune started ringing in my brain, I looked up the full song and played it. BOOM, I felt hypnotized & kept repeating it, I looked up the lyrics on ytb and watched all the Cupid videos on tiktok. I started looking for other songs; Higher, Lovin Me, Tell Me, Log In, they were all really good. I followed all 5050's social media and watched their ytb videos. I love Aran's voice, it's so addictive. Now I'm a fan and always look forward to their content. I hope 5050 can get many more successes & always make good songs. I'm looking forward to their comeback!

How could you say that?! You aren't even a kpop fan and you're saying this . Fifty fifty is a new group and there are so many kpop groups which are 1000 times better than fifty fifty.

[@mermadickelp]

I really think some people are just upset that FIFTY FIFTY has an organic hit on their hands, while many - or let's face it, most groups that have hits are helped out by coming from such huge companies. In FIFTY FIFTY's case, their company, as unknown as it is, is only a detriment to their success, yet they managed to break through anyway thanks to the virality of their song. In short, I think it's a little bit of bad faith and a little bit of jealousy that has people slinging accusations.

Music critics can tell whether a song is good or not but in reality.. what makes a song popular in KPop is the size of the fan base. I'm sorry to the fans but I gotta say some popular girl groups have come backs that really sucks... song and concept so so!! but because their fan base is so big... they can get no. 1 in music shows... I've been in Kpop since the debut of SNSD and I can say.. back then songs are good not because of the group's fandom size.

Hopefully the keep up the momentum cause their is always the fear of being a one hit wonder. Look at what happened with brave girls after rollin.

[@krsmovie1939]

I think their story should be a life lesson for both future idols and companies. Their company spoiled them to the degree these rookies began thinking they're the best in K-PoP industry. Fame is a challenge not everybody can easily overcome. Their company should have given them a pill against star desease. Instead they let them suffer from it.

[@kookie175]

Attrakt CEO only wanted to treat them the best way he could. You make it sound like Attrakt made them to be greedy in the first place. No, its in their character to be this greedy and to betray a small company that poured whatever they had for them

[@nxrama-yh7tr]

I think Attrakt CEO was not that spoiled to the group, he's take care the group like what CEO supposed to do. The group in other hand was greedy

[@cakredi4132]

If you look at music charts outside of Korea, you can easily find small/indie acts getting top positions. Even some new artists were nominated and performing at Grammy when they were releasing mixtapes. For some reasons, these things are foreign to KPop industry and KPop fans.

[@Desdex]

I hope Cupid is not their one hit wonder song. I know it'll be hard for them to do another "TikTok" trend song

Honestly all the hate and payola accusations are a stretch. The antis cannot bear that a group from a small company out streamed their faves. I am honestly rooting for them. Hope the Barbie song and their next comeback make them even bigger.

[@35PHaaton]

I wish them all the success. I'm a big vtuber fan, mostly niji and holo, but I don't like idol music, yet I like fifty fifty songs. They don't sound idol-ish. Also as an underdog group and company, I hope they win and keep on winning. As for why Cupid is literally everywhere, to dear kpop stans, it is really catchy that breaks any genre. I'm a metal head and I love listening to cupid when i'm just chilling with some beer and weed.

[@venusgirlserena]

My classmates always sing Cupid and sometimes I would sing it and see TikTok’s singing to it and dancing to it. Im so happy for them!!!❤

[@6catalina0]

Breaking into the Western market, Black Pink performed at Coachella. Twice performed on Ellen. BTS performed in the USA. Also, the Brave Girls “Rollin” Korean Army videos went viral. So Internet based success is possible. If it wasn’t for finding K-pop on KZbin four years ago, I wouldn’t be purchasing K-pop albums at my local K-pop stores and online. It’s a global market. We are now living in the Era of K-pop.

[@CrystalMcCarter44]

I first heard the song on tiktok, I genuinely thought it was an american song coz their vocals are relatively low toned (not the typical tad bit annoying high-registered cutesy female voices) and the music doesn't include flashy recycled bass and electro beats most kpops songs usually have, plus their good English accent. Truly, I love this kinda kpop song.

My only comment is people are so free. Honestly the song is very catchy to catch attention. That’s all. Because their idols struggle, doesn’t mean new group cannot become a huge hit. Sometimes it can be the luck too.

People keep saying that the ceo selling a car story for sympathy, but in another interview, they make fun of the story after the success. If mistaken, the producer said to the ceo that now he can choose another car to replace his previous car that he sold. We can see how the quality of their mv and how expensive the cost is, and not include their staff salary. So i believe the CEO story

Gangname style and bigbang is the song and the group that brought me into kpop but suddenly in few yrs. Tuning in i lost interest in kpop, then fifty-fifty came up and accidentally pops up their debut song in yt wayback dec. And i fell in love with that song and brought me to into kpop again and to the group, now this is the only kpop group i love bcoz all their songs are my type of music 🥰

I hope fans will continue to support them I really don’t want another Momoland to happen. Were the group gets huge success and jealousy of other fans make rumors and take things out of proportion to tear them down. Momoland didn’t deserve that and I hope this won’t happen again to Fifty fifty I love their music!

[@nabilmonogatari9755]

its funny how some fans who is their favs (mostly from big4) actually paying for their achievements accusing a real talented group with beautiful vocals that they have fake success

As long as they continue to use English words in their music, or Korean words that can be pronounced by westerners, they will have success. Catchy music always helps .
