Kapanlagi.com - The K-Pop world has been shaken again by shocking news from one of the members of the VCHA group, Kiera Grace Madder (KG). On December 7, 2024, KG publicly announced her resignation from the VCHA group under the management of JYP Entertainment USA. This decision not only surprised fans but also sparked heated debates regarding issues of harassment and unfair treatment in the entertainment industry.

KG, who started her career as a trainee at JYP Entertainment, stated that her decision was based on personal experiences that she deemed harmful to her mental health. This statement was later reinforced by a legal lawsuit filed by KG against the agency in December 2024. The issue gained even more public attention after JYP USA issued an official response denying the allegations.

This controversy has sparked extensive discussions about the welfare of K-Pop idols and the training systems implemented by major agencies. Here is a summary of the chronology of events and statements from both parties.

1. KG Announces Departure from VCHA

Through a post on his personal Instagram, KG announced his resignation on December 7, 2024. He admitted that this decision had been planned since May, citing a toxic work environment that affected his mental health. KG also mentioned that there were treatments that led a member to almost take their own life.

2. Allegations of Abuse and Injustice

In his lawsuit, KG outlined several issues, including verbal abuse, strict diet monitoring, and what he deemed unfair payment. He stated that the agency imposed strict control over food, even using surveillance cameras without the group's knowledge.

3. Inhumane Training Conditions

KG also revealed a training routine that lasted late into the night, without adequate rest time. He mentioned having suffered a shoulder tendon injury due to intense training but was still forced to work, along with other members who were injured.

4. Official Response from JYP USA

JYP USA denies KG's allegations and states that the claims are one-sided and exaggerated. According to the agency, KG left the VCHA dorm since May and initiated legal discussions, but there has been no further communication from him since then.

JYP USA highlights the significant losses experienced by the VCHA group and other staff due to this case. The agency stated that the 2025 album project had to be postponed because of the conflict.
