JYP Entertainment’s USA division has officially addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding VCHA member KG’s lawsuit, labeling her claims as “false” and her actions as “unilateral.” This development comes as the girl group remains on an indefinite hiatus following KG’s departure from their shared residence earlier this year.

KG’s Allegations Spark Global Reactions

The situation unfolded on December 8, 2024, when KG publicly announced her decision to file a lawsuit against JYP USA. In her statement, the singer accused the agency of several grievances, including verbal abuse, unfair pay structures, extreme dieting mandates, and other alleged mistreatment. Fans across the globe quickly rallied behind her, trending hashtags in her support and calling for greater accountability from the entertainment giant.

In response, JYP USA released an official statement on December 9 through VCHA’s fan community, providing their perspective on the matter.

Agency Criticizes Public Statements

JYP USA refuted KG’s allegations, calling them “false and exaggerated.” According to the company, the singer has not provided them with an official legal response regarding the lawsuit she mentioned. The agency further disclosed that KG left the group residence in May 2024 and began planning legal action shortly afterward. Despite their attempts to engage in dialogue with her legal representatives, the agency claims they have not received any updates from her side.

“We deeply regret KG’s decision to file a lawsuit and make unilateral public statements containing false and exaggerated claims,” stated JYP USA.

Impact on VCHA’s Activities

The controversy has significantly impacted VCHA’s schedule. JYP USA confirmed that they temporarily suspended the group’s activities to address the ongoing issues. They also expressed concern about the toll this situation has taken on the remaining group members, emphasizing their commitment to protecting the team and ensuring their future activities proceed smoothly.

“JYP USA will take all necessary measures to ensure that neither the other members of VCHA nor JYP USA suffer further harm as a result of this matter,” the statement read.

The agency revealed that VCHA is preparing for a comeback in 2025, and they are working to stabilize the situation before the group resumes its activities.

Fans Demand Accountability

KG’s allegations have stirred widespread outrage among fans, with many voicing their concerns on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Critics have demanded a thorough investigation into the claims and greater transparency from JYP USA. Some fans have pointed out the lack of clarity in the agency’s statement, questioning why the alleged issues were not addressed earlier.

Future of VCHA and KG’s Legal Battle

While JYP USA has reiterated its commitment to resolving the issue internally, the dispute appears far from over. KG’s accusations have cast a shadow over the group’s future, and her lawsuit could lead to further scrutiny of the agency’s practices.
