Have you guys seen the alarming texts in VCHA KG's court declaration?

  • TLDR:

    - When she injured her leg, she was denied a break even when the doctors warned her to stop dancing and rest. No rest was given. She asked if she could “take it easy”, but was told to do a full out performance regardless.


    - JYPE controlled KG’s diet and pressured her to eat less. While in Korea, JYPE pressured all of VCHA to eat only salads. They claimed it was optional, but the staff made it clear they would be upset if they didn’t comply. The girls tried it, but it was impossible to maintain their schedules with so little nutrition. JYPE told them they could not eat at their hotel at all — they could only eat what the company provided. KG and her team discussed the salad diets in their group chat, talking about how it was difficult to dance while barely eating.


    - She's not allowed to mention her prior history when she was a solo artist before being in VCHA. Not allowed to mention any kpop artists apart from jyp artists. Should refrain from using the words like "I'm perfectionist, "sensitive", "have mood-swings, "emo", "dark", etc something that can create a specific image of you. (If you want to use the word perfectionist, just say "attention to details").


    - Mentioned the songs are ass!


    - Stripped of their personality, felt like a robot, no motivation, etc.

  • Are we really surprised??

    Other than her personal ones, the rest of the general claims likely have been going on for years in the industry.

    We're just now witnessing another bad light shined at JYPE and I'm glad to see it.

  • if those claims are true and can be proven in court then it does sound very damning indeed

    not surprised. i think kg herself did not know what she was getting into when she auditioned to be in a kpop group, she just wanted to sing and become known. she doesn't seem to be fan of kpop in the first place so she won't really know all about the extreme diets, controlling environment, not really being involved with the musical aspects like songwriting, etc. the asian and western standards for these are different.

  • I think where JYP messed up in comparison with SM (DearAlice) and Hybe (Katseye)


    is that SM and Hybe both focused on training the members of the group, but the promotion and the rest is handed by a western company, who know how western artist and mentality and doesn't work like korean companies

    and then they just chim in sometimes by giving them a hand in promoting them sometimes with music show performance in korea.


    but JYP messed up is that it seems that the project was announce as a join project from JYP and Universal

    but it looks like only JYP is promoting them, and even in the US it seems that it's the US branch of JYP who work with them and the company seems to be full of koreans that work with them in korea too


    and these people are just stupid to think that western artist will be okay with the mentality of koreans
