Korean Media Gives Former FIFTY FIFTY’s Saena, Aran, And Sio The “Nugu” Treatment

“Got wrecked…”

Korean media is asking, “Who?”

Saena, Sio, Aran

On August 29, a news report titled “Nugusaeyo (Who Are You)? You Can’t Even Introduce Yourself Without Using ‘FIFTY‘” went viral. The term Nugu? is often used to label idols who aren’t well-known to the public.

In the article, the author starts off with a scathing truth.

Nobody would know them without the label Former FIFTY FIFTY.

The article does not let up, criticizing the three former members of using their FIFTY FIFTY accomplishments to market themselves at their new label.

Furthermore, these three called themselves, The most important 3 members of FIFTY FIFTY and marketed themselves as The main characters of Cupid’s success has returned.

Who would know them if they introduced themselves as simply Saena, Aran, and Sio? The group’s song Cupid was successful but during their FIFTY FIFTY promotions, the members weren’t well known to the public. It’s only natural that K-Pop fans and the general public do not know their names or their faces. Therefore it would be impossible to introduce them without using FIFTY FIFTY.

Korean netizens reacted to the post, with many still critical of the former FIFTY FIFTY members for their betrayal.

• “Got fact-checked big time, LOL.”
• “The title is so amazing.”
• “Aren’t Saena, Sio, and Aran stage names? Unless they came up with the names before joining ATTRAKT, I don’t think they can even use their names.”
• “Got wrecked.”
• “Wow, they beat the s*it out of them.”
• “Did the 3 former members start releasing articles now that FIFTY FIFTY is about to restart with new members? They are so evil. Who would embrace those backstabbers?”
• “But seriously, I don’t know who they are…”
• “Is it okay for them to use their stage names?”
