KG, a member of the K-pop girl group VCha, has officially exited the group following the filing of a lawsuit against JYP Entertainment USA. The lawsuit alleges child labor abuse and mistreatment, raising serious concerns about the practices within the Korean entertainment industry. The lawsuit, filed in December 2024, claims that KG faced working conditions that violated labor laws, including excessive hours and inadequate support. In her statement regarding the exit, KG expressed hopes that the lawsuit would inspire industry changes that prioritize the well-being of minors in entertainment. ‘I want to create a safer environment for future idols,’ KG stated. JYP Entertainment has yet to respond to the lawsuit or KG’s claims, but the situation has sparked widespread discussions on social media regarding the treatment of young performers in K-pop. Many fans and industry insiders are monitoring the developments closely as the K-pop industry faces increasing scrutiny over its labor practices, particularly concerning its young talents.
