Why VCHA Went on Hiatus: The Truth About the Group’s Mistreatment

[@elvinjhun1856]

Why is the korean netizens is fast on calling out and cancelling Idols who is involved in school bullying but turns to the other way when the company is the bully and the idol is the victim

[@Evelyn-oy4ue]

because in Korea most kids in the public school system are also on that inhumane schedule -- both waking up and going to sleep in the early morning everyday, just to get through the education and not getting any payment or fame, so idols' complaints about having to work "too hard" are either ignored or criticized as tone deaf

[@ElaineBarlow]

The fact that Koreans accept slave labor and psychological abuse as NORMAL FOR THE KPOP INDUSTRY and that Americans are weak for not being able to endure it is so typical of the world we live in. It's bullying behavior and I expect nothing less than that from the Kpop industry and its fans. No one is weak for not wanting to endure abuse for their dreams. There is a difference between hard work and psychological torment, abuse, and manipulation. The system has been broken for a long time and every REAL Kpop fan knows that and hates that ... I think KG thought she was above what she clearly would know was the norm ... Maybe she thought she'd be treated better as an American ... It doesn't matter who you are. The Kpop system is about exploiting minors, making money, and they don't see them as anything other than assets they can exploit. The fact that they thought they could get away with it again just speaks to their confidence and arrogance. I feel bad for her and I hope she gets out of her contract. Chuu and so many others have fought and won but the industry will never change.

I am Korean, and while some Korean netizens are genuinely concerned about her and think there is a problem with the Korean idol system, some believe that KG is American and doesn't fit in with the harsh Korean work environment. In other words, they don't find a problem, but as a Korean, I understand why the knets don't get it. Even if you are not a K-pop artist, most people in Korea are overworked to this extent, regardless of their job. Students sleep 4-5 hours a day and study even when there is no exam period, and office workers also work overtime until dawn. At first, I also wondered if this needed to be overreacted to this extent. However, I realized that Koreans were being severely overworked in the first place, and I felt awful for KG, who was experiencing it for the first time. I hope this incident will lead to improvements in the K-pop industry and the overwork of Koreans.

[@suki2207]

Honestly I can't believe JYPE thought they could've gotten away with it. Korea and America are two different countries with two different laws and two different limits. In America we have child labor laws for a reason because of the past treatments of others celebrities especially children because they are at the most vulnerable. Compared to Korea, in their laws are still fall behind, especially with children and training. The some netizens criticize her, saying American kids aren't up for it and some other things. Honestly hopefully the American courts (more obviously) rule in her favor and Vcha favor. Then punishing the prepatraors who caused them harm.

Things like this make me happy when I heard KQ's CEO started treating their artists like Athletes and which exactly what they are with the dancing and singing that they do. The current training system of starving and dancing for hours on end has gone on for too long.

[@spectral__]

Tbh, I think treating them like athletes would yield much better results. They would become very healthy instead of being emaciated with severe health problems at a young age. All the exercise they do needs fuel, which is food. Running on empty is extremely dangerous. Idols who leave their companies usually look so much healthier afterwards. Because they can control their lives again.

2-1,,,It is hard to find someone who committed suicide during their trainee days,,However, there is an incident of a male trainee who is presumed to have committed suicide after being eliminated from the debut group,,The greatest stress or shock for a trainee is when they fail to debut and are pushed out in the middle,,Since trainees' goal is to debut, their motivation to commit suicide is very low,, If a trainee commits suicide, their psychology is unstable, so they are in the stage of giving up on lessons, and the company either eliminates them or drops out before that,,, If a trainee's mentality is ruined, they leave the company before that,,,, Among idols or celebrities, suicide is usually due to retirement from active duty, and is usually due to depression or panic disorder caused by losing popularity or criticism from malicious fans,,Goo Hara and Sulli This is typical

The reason why K-pop became the strongest in the international music market // 1,,First of all, it's because Koreans are excellent,,,, In my opinion, Koreans are the best group in the world,, mentally and physically,, Korean women in particular are the strongest Level,,The second is the K-pop training system, and the next is the music industry system established by Korean entertainment companies.

[@Real-ranchia]

2. The current K-pop system is clearly the opposite of this and is actually similar to a military organization. In fact, the K-pop idols that the general public sees are idols who were raised and promoted based on this. Let's assume that a certain entertainment company was greatly impressed and raised a girl group and a boy group under such a Western system and launched them. First, there are dozens of active girl and boy groups in the K-pop market. Girl groups in the Western system have to engage in bloody competition with them.

[@Real-ranchia]

3-1,,,For example, a company requires 12 hours of practice a day,,,This is considered a given in Korea,,,There are no restrictions on practice time,,,This is similar to regular students in Korea,,,If it's an American culture that doesn't work hard,,,You can probably only practice for about 6 hours a day,,, The stress during the training process is usually at the level of sports athletes' training,,,and Korea is usually lenient on this issue,,,,And if you can't endure the training, you can drop out at any time,,,The company doesn't necessarily abuse the trainee,,,, Usually, they give up and drop out before that.

[@Real-ranchia]

2-1. The place they are stepping on is a complete, thorough, and cold-blooded unrestricted free competition structure. What would a girl group in that Western system look like? ,,,their skills are seriously lacking,,because they haven't trained enough,,they can't sing and their dancing is a mess,,and as you can see from their thick waists, their bodies are obese,,because the company forbids them from dieting,,even their appearances are ordinary,,they don't look like idols at all,,,the next members often drop out in the middle,,,,because it's hard

2,,Let's point out the negative factors that VCHA has,,1]The members are young in their teens There are 2 of them,,Americans never tolerate idols at a young age,,,2] Lack of skills,,, especially vocal ability,,the American music market especially values ​​this,,3] Racial asymmetry = They have to match the racial ratio of American society to avoid criticism,,in other words, there have to be 2 pure white people..4] Excessive Asian ratio,,2.5 out of 6 members, but Asians in America only make up 8%,,,4] Even after they officially released their debut song, the Americans showed a lukewarm response,,

[@Real-ranchia]

4,,,First of all, you need to know that K-pop sales are 2/3 of the total in Korea plus Asia,,and the distribution of fans is probably similar,,K-pop fans in the US and Europe come to their rescue, but their voices are weak,, K-pop fans are showing signs of boycotting them,,of course, their agency is in trouble.. It's because they've already invested a lot of money to develop the team,,,the company is facing a management crisis,,the members are full of complaints because the income isn't coming in,,,K-pop idols have huge maintenance costs,,so this is a fatal blow,,,

[@ebyim]

KG is over playing her hand in saying she wants to effect change in the Kpop industry. She doesn't have that kind of clout. I sympathize for her hardships she endured. But is some of this sour grapes for not being allowed to produce her own music under the JYP label? KG you have to earn it and you haven'tr done that yet. I hoope she gets a chance with another label. Buit I can easily see here as someone that is blackballed by the other major labels and someone that people will not want to work with.

[@Real-ranchia]

A K-pop system based on Western values ​​is not possible// 1,,,Currently, KG is suing their agency,,so K-pop is currently being attacked by people from the US and Europe,,,,then, would it be possible to solve this problem if a K-pop boy group or girl group based on Western values ​​were created and promoted??? Let's start with the concept of Western values. A system that values ​​human rights and prohibits abuse or control would be the best explanation.

[@Real-ranchia]

The reason why K-pop style training isn't a problem in Korea // 1,,,K-pop trainees In severe cases, they have to practice for 14 hours a day,,but this is similar for students studying or ordinary people working at a company,,,Korea is a country with strong labor intensity,,,,It may be shocking to you, but to Koreans, the life or daily life of these K-pop trainees is actually average,,,,First of all, no entertainment company in Korea will debut them without such high-intensity training,,The reason is that they invested a huge amount of money to launch them in the first place.

NO ONE AT ANY AGE SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE THIS NO MATTER WHERE UR FROM.

I want to condemn the unscrupulous behavior of K-pop haters// 1,,,In the eyes of Koreans, the current K-pop is not that much of a problem ,,,that's what the Western society claims,,just boycott K-pop and block viewing,,we make it under our standards,,are you making K-pop??,,,no,,you don't even spend money on K-pop,,,

KG was never on board from the beginning. You could tell by her pretending to be onboard using her poor acting skills during and after A2K. She was just playing along so she could gain media exposure, experience and take advantage of the training. Her perceptions are just plainly off and you can see examples of this borderline delusion in her work prior to joining JYP. JYP has fully supported KG and VCHA by giving them a chance at stardom and training that will benefit them through their careers in K-pop and beyond. I mean who else would fulfill their request to go on a real concert tour when they were not fully developed? Only JYP and with Twice members approval were they able to have their dreams come true. KG has made a grave mistake and the world should know the truth. As far as KG’s future, her distorted perception of reality will determine whether she will be successful or not. And Karma will be there too.

2,,,The main characteristic of the K-pop training system is that it is very pressuring and controlling, and those who pass the process without fail have very excellent abilities,,,only these people are allowed to debut,,, That is why K-pop dominates the group singer sector of the music market,,not everyone can become a K-pop idol, only the best are allowed

[@withpeacelove366]

Knowing about this kind of treatment in the kpop industry isn't new news. I felt when I was watching the original survival show that most of the girls weren't really kpop fans, they were just aspiring singers and dancers, so I'm not surprised that they didn't know it was going to be like this and the average American parent is definitely not going to know kpop companies are like this.

[@Real-ranchia]

The reason why K-pop idol groups dominate the international music market except for the United States // 1,,K-pop is unrivaled,,,,especially in the group singer sector,,,,the reason is that Koreans have excellent mental and physical qualities,,,the next is that K-pop's idol training system/Korean entertainment companies' industrial structure is excellent,,and Koreans are very challenging and proactive about their goals,,

[@Crystalstay0325]

As much as it is disappointing, its not shocking to me that JYPE would do this, considering their past allegations and mistreatment with twice and skz and other artists. Whether any idol comes out or not, it can easily be assumed that every single idol(or at least majority of them) has gone through mistreatment and abuse of some sort, whether it be pre-debut or after debut
