Group Pptipty has declared a boycott of SBS.

Pifty Pifty will not appear on SBS 'Inkigayo' stage on the 29th. PFTPFT released its second mini-album 'Love Tun' on the 20th, and released the new song 'SOS' on Mnet 'M Countdown' on the 26th, KBS2 'Music Bank' on the 27th, and MBC 'Show Music Center' on the 28th. However, he declared that he would not participate as much as 'Inkigayo'.

This is an expression of protest against the biased broadcasting of SBS 'I Want to Know (hereinafter referred to as 'G').



Aug. 19, 2023 'GR' is 'Billboards and girl groups - who beat the wings?Through the broadcast titled ', we highlighted the exclusive contract dispute between PFT and its agency Artact.

At the time, Piftifty Kinna Sio Aran Saena filed for suspension of the exclusive contract, saying Attract neglected its members' physical and mental health care obligations and did not make the settlement transparent. In response, Attract raised suspicions of tempering The Givers, led by CEO Ahn Sung-il.



As 'GR' has been recognized as a representative current affairs and culture program in Korea that has provided accurate fact-checking and different perspectives on the case, it has raised expectations that a clear answer will come out for the PFTPT case.

However, the broadcast, which opened the lid, did not meet expectations. Not only did he not point out the clear facts, but he only sent out emotional arguments in favor of the members and Dougievers, and did not guarantee the right to object at all to Attract and Representative Jeon Hong-joon. It was pointed out that the interviewer was also biased as it consisted of officials from Dougie Bus or people with interests. In addition, other fandom criticized by mentioning famous K-pop artists such as BTS and Blackpink who had nothing to do with the incident.



In the end, the Yeonje Cooperative and the Yeonmae Cooperative also protested that the broadcast had lost fairness, and when they asked for an official apology and correction report, the production team issued an apology. But "I didn't mean to take anyone's sidePublic opinion worsened by the half-hearted apology, and the Korea Communications Standards Commission ended up saying that the program caused great social chaos", and unanimously voted for the legal sanction warning.

Nevertheless, the production team explained that `it seems that the perpetrators and victims were criticized for not going in the direction the viewers thought and criticizing the perpetrators.' `We are not planning to broadcast again because the members in a difficult situation are so psychologically anxious that they think of an extreme choice.'

Afterwards, representative Jeon Hong-jun said, `Even though I was warned by the commission, there was no sincere apology or story" and sued the producers of "Gr" for defamation by spreading false information.

However, he only carried out a reconciliation operation through his acquaintances, and the official apology that CEO Jeon Hong-joon talked about has not yet been made. For this reason, Attract said that Pifty Pifty, who was reborn as a new quintet, will not appear on SBS, centered on Kina, who returned until there is a `sincere official apology.'
