A mediation court is different from a civil court in that the judge, rather than offering a ruling, serves as an arbitrator in a dispute. In mediation court, a judge recommends a compromise, but either side can refuse the decision, in which instance the case will head back to civil trial.

News of FIFTY FIFTY’s refusal to compromise has been met with a fresh wave of criticism.

• “I mean if they themselves want to throw away their careers, I won’t stop them, LOL.”
• “It seems their label was open to accepting the members back if negotiations went well… The members are shooting themselves in the foot.”
• “They can’t go back because if they do, it would be like admitting they were wrong, LOL. They won’t ever go back. They are going to do whatever it takes to end their contract and try to promote themselves off the strength of their names.”
• “You can promote overseas all you want. Just don’t come to Korea. Then again, even if they were to walk in front of me, I wouldn’t be able to recognize them.”
• “Going back is their best option. If it was me,. I’d go back.”
• “But seriously, do they have somebody getting their back? There has to be someone in their camp that knows going back is their best choice. Don’t you think someone on their side knows better? I feel like there is more to this story than we know. I’m so curious.”
