'JYP girl group's light cage'Staff verbally abused and abused...Team Leave and Litigation'



Cage, a member of JYP Entertainment's global girl group VCHA, announced his withdrawal from the team, claiming that he was abused by an employee of his agency.

Cage said on the 8th, `Yesterday I suffered verbal abuse and abuse by some staff members"I filed a lawsuit against JYP Entertainment after deciding to terminate the contract with them and leave the company."

He "I think it was a bad environment for my mental health. If anyone is disappointed by my withdrawal, I apologize"I do not support working and living conditions that have led one member to try extreme choices. He also argued that he does not support the environment that promotes eating disorders and causes members to self-harm."



Then "I made this decision last May, and I'm still waiting for the contract to be terminated. I'm worried about the members who remain in 'Shining', the friends I truly love and care about. I also realized that I would not be the artist I dream of if I remained at JYP Entertainment because I really like writing and producing. "I've only built up a lot of debt, with very little salary compared to the severe restrictions on my intense work and privacy."

I would like to express my gratitude to Park Jin-young, the company's executives, and employees for trusting me and providing special education. I don't blame anyone for the way I've been treated but I think this is a deeply embedded problem in the K-pop industry," he said.

Cage said, `I grew fond of Korean culture and K-pop music. I will continue to make this genre of music in the future, but not in this situation. I hope that my departure will make a difference for the K-pop system to move in a better direction, and I hope you will protect the idols and trainees who remain in the agency."

In this regard, JYP Entertainment said "We are checking because we have not received the contents directly" and "We have shared opinions on the situation through agents, but there have been some differences of opinion. We will proceed according to the future procedures" made a statement.



Bira debuted in January as a joint girl group between South Korea and the U.S. formed with a global project 'A2K' conducted by JYP and Universal Music Group label Republic Records.
