Dear VCHA fans and supporters,
This is Kaylee. I wanted to inform everyone that my journey with JYP Entertainment and VCHA has come to an end.
Firstly, I want to express my deepest gratitude to JYP Entertainment for the incredible opportunity they gave me and for all the experiences I gained during my time as a trainee and member of VCHA.
To all the amazing VLIGHTS, who have supported us with so much love and passion – thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your encouragement has meant the world to me.
While this part of my life is closing, I am incredibly excited for the new one ahead. I’m looking forward to exploring new creative paths and sharing my own unique artistry with you all. I’ve already started working on new things, and I can’t wait to show you what’s next.
I hope you’ll continue to support me as I embark on this new journey. Your continued love means everything. Let’s make new memories together!
With love and gratitude,
Kaylee Lee
A joint venture between JYP Entertainment and Republic Records, VCHA is a girl group that was formed through the project “A2K” (America2Korea) in 2023. Although the group was initially scheduled to perform at Lollapalooza in 2024, VCHA pulled out of the lineup at the last minute and has been inactive ever since. In December of last year, KG filed a lawsuit to leave the group and terminate her contract with JYP Entertainment.
