FIFTY FIFTY Criticized For Their Actions At “Billboard K POWER 100” Event
FIFTY FIFTY are being criticized for their actions at a recent event.
On August 27, FIFTY FIFTY made their first public appearance with the new lineup at the Billboard K POWER 100.
During the event, the group picked up an award for the song “Cupid.” While Keena went alone to get the award, she gestured for the new members to come to the front with her.

They posted a photo of the award on their social media following the event.
Yet, netizens criticized the group receiving the award. While Keena was in the OG track, many pointed out that she wasn’t in the version that went viral, so accepting it with the new members was “disrespectful” and “embarrassing.”

this is honestly disrespectful to the former members, like accepting an award for a song… you didn’t even contribute to?
