FIFTY FIFTY announce comeback with new album ‘Too Much Part 1’

FIFTY FIFTY have announced their comeback with the upcoming album ‘Too Much Part 1’ – find out more below.

Yesterday (October 9), the K-pop girl group and Attrakt signees announced the details of the new album which is due for release on November 4 at 6pm Korea time.

Little else is known of the album so far – including whether it will be a full-length release or a mini-album. It’s lead track and full list of songs have also yet to be announced.

‘Too Much Part 1’ will arrive around six months after their most recent project ‘Day & Night’.

The group debuted in 2022 and re-organized into a quintet last year before releasing their second EP, ‘Love Tune’. In June 2023, the original four members of FIFTY FIFTY filed to suspend their exclusive contracts with Attrakt, which was later denied by a Seoul court. While all members initially appealed the decision, member Keena later withdrew her appeal and returned to the agency.

After a months-long legal battle, the agency terminated its contracts with members Saena, Sio and Aran. Attrakt later announced that FIFTY FIFTY would be re-organised with a new line-up centered around Keena, and later held overseas auditions in Singapore and Japan.

‘Love Tune’ scored a middling three-star review from NME, with Gladys Yeo writing: “As a whole, ‘Love Tune’ is a thematically consistent and decently performed pop record with few major faults. However, it hardly distinguishes itself from the wave of pleasant, easy-listening K-pop songs that have swept through the industry since the success of ‘Cupid’, with none of the songs feeling particularly unique to this newly minted quintet. It’s also hard to look past the comparisons to the original line-up of FIFTY FIFTY, especially when so little was done to transform their sound and image in this rebranding exercise.”
