They should have known it wouldve taken a lot of work to make an western GG really take off, they needed to be constantly promoted not on hiatus

[@vanthadoun1]

Yup, they had 1 song, they never made any appearance on talk shows Mnet, Inkigayo, Its LIVE!, Knowing Bros, radio shows, etc. Everything that YG did to promote Babymonster.... JYP failed to do for Vcha. Of course it doesnt help that they received very little training and only one member speaks korean.

[@goldyd144]

​@@vanthadoun1 Well, VCHA is supposed to be a Western girl group, not a global Kpop group like Blackswan or X:IN for example. They won't promote as much in Korea or speak Korean because they want the group to take off in the US. They haven't really promoted them in the US outside of opening Twice's tours, and that's really the issue.

JYP never had a long term plan for them. I remember watching A2K and thinking "what is his end goal?" he stated he would bring American girls to South Korea then train them in the South Korean way of idols and once he completed that..... who was he going to market them to????? The West slowly listens to Kpop music, because its an acquired taste, and as for the East, they prefer something that is well established and fine tuned. Vcha was never that well established, they had less training than 1 year, for them to compete with the likes of other 5th Gen groups was suicide. To top if all off, they didnt speak Korean (with the exception of Kaylee) JYP brought them here without a plan and it shows he lost interest. TO me, this all seems like Alice (Vcha members) in wonderland (South Korea) they were brought here and now they don't know how to get out of it. I just feel so bad for the girls. They don't deserve this treatment.

Truthfully I don’t feel like they’re disbanding just yet, because this happened a couple years ago when Xdinary Heroes were still really new to the industry. They released HDD and Hello, world! But then disappeared for literally months, and the entire fanbase was convinced they disbanded. Then they released overload the next November.

I agree with the minority of people in here: I don’t think they disbanded, but are prepping for something, hopefully something “BIG”.

Kaylee should absolutely have not debuted with the group. She is way too young and puts the group at a disadvantage. Because of the age range, the only demographic that vcha can approproately cater to is the tween demographic, which is non-existant. Its clear that jyp does not care about them and will debut another group while putting vcha on hiatus until they ultimately disband. Now lets compare vcha with katseye. Katseye is actually doing a good job at promoting and getting their name out there. They also cater to the teen/gen z demographic, as seen with their music videos and tiktoks. The only time I hear about vcha is in tiktok comments about people defending their irrelevency, yet i fail to see any actual real fans. Its the sad honest truth, and jyp/republic records are entirely to blame for this

[@crash5758]

Apart from actually fans of vcha, kpop fans in general are just not interested in that type of group. The proof is in the pudding - y’all can blame jyp as much as you want but with the huge fan base of jyp artists, their most viewed songs is 16mil. People did not show up to support them even though they showed great potential with limited training and had good personalities. Don’t even bother commenting about the style of song because I can’t even begin to count the amount of crappy kpop songs that have millions of views just because it’s Kpop. I’ll use XG as an example as well, even though they have great success, when you compare their views to some kpop groups, it honestly boggles my mind how they don’t have more when they are leagues ahead in terms of skills and songs. Koreans aside, international fans rather listen to Korean songs that they can’t understand with basic as* English rather than something they understand and that actually has substance. Shout out to Alphaz and Vlights

The only thing you didn't mention is that they went silent the exact same month Katseye debuted. Call me paranoid, but that's extremely odd.

6 member curse

[@Blah-Blah-Blah143]

I think a lot of fans forget this is a business. If a company can't predict a return on investment for whatever reason then changes will be made. There is no emotion in business. For all we know there could be other stuff happening behind the scenes, both contractually and personally for the girls or a reassessment via the A&R team on how best to go forward. The rest is rumour mill.

[@toufaniartmeda8175]

Well finally someone talk about that, everything is about a money, they can't blindy promoting without having a the money back, so

i hope kaylee will leave vcha, cause she has korean appearance, so i think she can be trainee for korean group, she already has stable vocal, great dance level!! but i also hope that my girls will come back soon😢

The six member GG curse.

[@nk2012]

The drastic height difference and singing style difference plus lack of quality material given to them is their downfall. Poor job by JYP imo.

[@EllaBp0x]

Ngl they flopped, they dont rlly stand out as singers, they aren't so talented and just random girls who want to be an idol. Dont get me wrong I'm not hating but they're not inspiring or something.

[@kqtiecxre._.]

It's fine to have opinions but the members are talented. Especially Kaylee, kg and Camila since their vocals are very stable. If you've watched A2k you would've seen how talented these girls are

[@MBehrens-j3q]

In 2025/2026 JYP will also do E2K (Europe 2 Korea) . As a European I don't think they will be succesful. Europeans have pretty strong Child protection Laws and most people don't want Children to be on stage. Here in Germany they couldn't even perform after <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="570">9:30</a> p.m

[@mocneeuq]

Better to disband them early because JYP would be losing money if they continue to promote them in the West for 7 years, we know their market there is super small, kidzbop music not being popular there, no music shows like in Korea etc. so I don't how they can build a fanbase there.

[@tipzzycore]

JYP is doing the same thing they did for Lia’s hiatus, not updating us. I think Kaylee’s hiatus will be almost a year long with no updates just like Lia. This is only my opinion btw you don’t have to ageee

Omg 😳 all these K-pop companies have a dark bad side of them😡😡

[@2multi2function]

idk but the people angry that vcha opened for twice sound so stupid like why get mad for another group getting opportunity? besides, they're literally from the same company, of course the company's going to prioritize putting them on rather than random acts ???

[@2multi2function]

why not utilize that privilege when it's given. other groups r literally struggling w promotion. they r lucky to debut in a big 3 company w that opportunity. but now, idk. jyp is really trying to make it harder for their groups

[@dianaosazenaye1313]

What is happening

[@dangelosantiago7571]

You wanna know why because the line up isn’t it this group is a mess the girls are unique in their own way but they do not work well nor look good together on stage , for example the age gaps between members are crazy one of the members is way older then the rest and dressing like a 14 years old they really Did not think this trough

[@jasmyne5411]

While this might be straight coping, I wonder because they have to also follow California state regulations that this is why they’re not promoting as much? Its hard to really say but its sad to see that there aren’t even a lot of social media updates to kind of buffer between album releases because if they can’t promote like typical idols on variety show they can still have web series to showcase the girls’ personalities- they all have awesome ones to show off too!!

[@Shadowcat31]

I was thinking the same thing! NEXZ just Debuted under JYP and they have thier own show that releases online every week where we get to see them do challenges together, its a lot of fun. I liked the little shorts they were doing with VCHA were they went candy shopping and album shopping and stuff, that was cute! I was wondering why VCHA didn't get thier own VLOG show or like challenge web series like NEXZ did, and like TWICE and NIZIU has.

Now he wants to go to Latin America and repeat the process at this point that man is really just trying to create as many groups as possible without making sure these girls and boys are successful and don't forget the trust of the parents of these kids put in jyp and he just wants to create as many groups as possible 🤔

[@josethefan2198]

No because he’s doing the same thing to boy story like their songs are good but they aren’t getting any promotion like if they did they would have been a big successful K-pop group

[@yoyoprofessorxavier]

If they come back, i hope they rebrand the girls or even come back as A2K. That sounds way cooler. From the looks of it though, its probably only a matter of time before they announce a dismandment due to their contracts ending or something like that.

Most of the world at this point equate Korean Pop with Koreans....though some argue that other Asians have contributed to what Kpop is now (Japanese, Chinese as well as Southern Asians...Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippnes). VCHA, iirc do have a couple of Asians. So why aren't they blazing a trail? Imo, despite Kpop being global, groups still have to go through the domestic audience. Koreans view non-Asian artists as that. it has nothing to do with prejudism. If you're a homogenous country that has seen similar looks among your own society for centuries, you will develop a familial comfort zone with that in every facet (business, education, entertainment....) Some of you will now say but there were Kpop groups with Asians born and raised in North America. Yes, that's true, but they were surrounded with Asian members who are Korean born. Besides that familiar look, language still plays a key role which made Kpop what it is. Again, nothing to do with racism. It's a cultural thing. I think what JYP did not understand was, every major music movement in history when it was popular in the world.at their time (heavy metal, R&B, America Pop, Country, Techno, Grunge, House, British Punk, Bollywood, Tokyo Pop....) All did NOT seek to expand their niche elsewhere by trying to convert foreigners to be like them. If foreigners were interested, they either copied it or it spawned into something that suited their regional or societal style. People were already saying during the A2K show, that it felt too forced. And sadly, this project will be a prime example of that
