Attract expressed its position amid the loss of a copyright lawsuit appeal for girl group Pptifty's worldwide hit song "Cupid."

The 5-2 Civil Affairs Department of the Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of Dougie Bus and Ahn Sung-il on the 5th, saying, "We reject the plaintiff's appeal."

Since then, Attract has falsely reported that it did not purchase the copyright (composition and composition) without reporting on securing the copyright (composition) even though it was supposed to report everything about the PFT project to Attract, which is the main office in the service contract, and added, "It did not fulfill the duty of the service company to maximize the profits of the main office." It is a difficult result to understand," he said.

After receiving the court ruling, Attract plans to consult with its legal representative and decide on future countermeasures.

Earlier, the Civil Affairs Department 62 of the Seoul Central District Court (Chief Judge Lee Hyun-seok) ruled against the plaintiff in the first trial in May 2025, saying, "The plaintiff's claim is dismissed because there is no reason." The lawsuit was filed in November 2023, and Attract said that they had the "Cupid" copyright rights held by Dougievers and demanded the transfer. Attract later filed an appeal through a legal representative against the outcome of the loss.

"Cupid" is a hit song released by PFTP in 2023 as a four-member group, and it has drawn worldwide attention for entering the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a long time. However, a conflict between Dougie Bus, who produced the song, and his agency Attract over copyright ownership erupted, leading to a legal battle.

As a result, Attract raised allegations of tempering members of PFT in June 2023, and the relationship between Attract and PFT members also fell apart. Eventually, in August 2023, PFT filed a provisional injunction against Attract to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract, but the court rejected it, and in the process of the members' immediate appeal, member Kina filed an appeal and returned to Attract, and Attract eventually notified Sana Arancio of the termination of the exclusive contract.
