 Rookie group Fifty Fifty expressed their thoughts on entering the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

At a press conference held at Ilji Art Hall in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at 2 p.m. on the 13th, the members of Fifty Fifty said, "We still can't believe we've entered the Billboard chart. Our priority was to create a positive synergy with our music, and we think that this resonated with the listeners."

Fifty Fifty is a group produced by a small agency called Attract and made their debut last November with 'The Fifty'. They released their second album 'The Beginning: Cupid' on February 24th this year. 'Cupid' was released in both English and Korean versions, and recently climbed to the 80th spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Member Xio said, "We never expected to make it onto such a famous chart. When producer Sean told us the news, Aran and I were speechless. It's an honor to be here in front of the reporters on the chart." Aran also said, "I was really surprised to hear the news after waking up. I thought it would be a good song someday, but I didn't know it would be this successful." Kina added, "As soon as I heard the news, I told my parents. I was really nervous and couldn't think of anything other than working hard."

Fifty Fifty's music gained popularity after going viral on the social media site TikTok. Kina expressed gratitude, saying, "Thanks to the music used on TikTok, it provided us with an opportunity to gain recognition." Senna mentioned the secret to their success, "I think many people listened to our music because of the message we wanted to convey."

The members of Fifty Fifty also admitted that the great achievements they made within 150 days since their debut can be burdensome. Senna said, "The four members have similar but different personalities and colors. We want to show new aspects of ourselves when we are together, but these results also put pressure on us. We're thinking more about what strategy and music to present next."

Fifty Fifty first gained attention overseas, but they are now contemplating how to gain popularity in Korea. Senna said, "The reason we got a response overseas first is probably because our music is easy to listen to, like easy listening, and the synth-pop genre helped us gain attention. Although we may not feel the same way in Korea as we do overseas, we will continue to grow and work harder."

Suzy, a former member of Miss A and now a singer and actress, also promoted Fifty Fifty's 'Cupid' on her SNS. Senna added, "We're grateful that our role model Suzy, who we've admired and dreamed of since we were young, is listening to our music."

The team name 'Fifty Fifty' means a 50-50 chance, symbolizing the coexistence of ideal and reality, as well as the existence within it. Furthermore, the group represents '50', and the fans represent the other '50', with the hope of becoming a perfect whole of '100' together.

Kina said, "We wouldn't have been able to achieve so much without our fans. We were able to be active and receive love thanks to their unwavering support and love." When asked about their uniqueness as a 4th generation group, Fifty Fifty chose 'sincerity'. Aran explained, "Although all artists are sincere, we've always talked about being honest and sincere, and sticking to the basics since our trainee days. Our top priority motto is always being faithful to the basics. We are grateful that many people love our music, which is always filled with sincerity
