On December 7, 2024, ex-VCHA‘s KG announced her departure.
She shared that she had filed a lawsuit against JYP Entertainment after experiencing abuse at the hands of the company’s staff via her Instagram Stories. She claimed that the treatment was so bad that a member of the group had attempted to take her own life, as well as caused a member to self-harm. Her lawsuit revealed details regarding these allegations.
On March 6, the first hearing was held between the two parties, with no outcome apparent yet.
VCHA are currently inactive and have been so for over a year, with member Kaylee currently on hiatus. Plans for their comeback were initially discussed before KG’s lawsuit, leaving many unsure of the group’s fate.
However, on March 17, JYP’s 2025 & Future Outlook plans were shared, and included information about VCHA making a comeback in the first half of the year.
Many reacted with excitement over the news, ready for new VCHA content.

Plans for boycotting releases usually have a fandom-wide approval as it takes a lot to get to that level of disapproval. However, in the case of VCHA, many have seen the boycott as something that will only hurt VCHA, rather than prove a point.
Some have cited the debt the group currently has, among other reasons.

lemme try to be nice by saying this
if we do not support VCHA’s upcoming comeback, then they be put into even more debt than ever.
If we do support VCHA’s upcoming comeback, we will help them get out of debt and hopefully grow even more for concerts/shows.
it was ALLEGED that…

please understand that boycotting vcha will not help with anything. at most, it would just put them in even more of an unstable position. https://t.co/GPhKlhMCx9

These claims have also bet met with backlash, as some feel you cannot support the group while supporting KG’s claims of mistreatment.
this gotta be the first fandom I’ve seen to refuse to boycott at all despite allegations of horrific abuse https://t.co/Qnic31oOMe

?? no. we're boycotting.
ignore the technicalities of it all — genuinely how the fuck do you intend on consuming any vcha content knowing they're allegedly being horrifically abused through it ?? how do you even watch a music video knowing one of those girls almost died for it? https://t.co/YWKnPl2qXP

“support both sides” and the other side is a horrific company who put their group under physical and mental abuse to the point of suicide attempts…yall wonder why the world fails to protect these idols and it’s because you guys would rather choose content over their lives https://t.co/QZNcc841pu pic.twitter.com/udEcrNvWnw
