Former VCHA member KG has publicly revealed alarming incidents of being stalked both physically and digitally, leading her to enlist the help of law enforcement agencies, including the FBI. This revelation comes amidst an ongoing legal conflict with JYP USA, the American division of the South Korean entertainment powerhouse, JYP Entertainment. On April 21, 2025, KG took to her public Instagram account, @kgcrown, to address concerns over her safety.
In her statement, KG disclosed that she has experienced personal stalking and that critical online accounts—such as her email, social media profiles, and bank accounts—have been compromised. Both the FBI and local police are actively investigating these incidents to ensure her safety.
While KG did not mention any specific individuals or entities in her announcement, she alluded to possible involvement from people in influential positions. By bringing her situation to light, she hopes to enhance her safety and awareness among her followers. As of now, JYP Entertainment and its American counterpart have not responded to her allegations.
KG stated:
“I want the public to understand that I am being stalked—both physically and digitally. My social accounts, bank accounts, emails, and devices have all been compromised, including attempts to monitor and track my physical location. The FBI and police are currently involved, and an ongoing investigation is in progress as I fear for my physical safety.”
KG’s Allegations of a PR Smear Campaign
On the same date, KG made another significant claim, stating that a coordinated PR smear campaign targeting her and her family was underway. She suggested that powerful figures within the entertainment industry might be behind this orchestrated effort and urged the public to stay alert to such manipulative tactics.
She expressed her concerns by saying:
“I’m aware there has been a false and orchestrated PR smear campaign launched against me and my family members. I urge the public to remain vigilant and not turn a blind eye to the harmful tactics that powerful businesses or individuals could use in this industry.”
KG has taken steps to address these issues proactively and has enlisted digital forensics specialists to trace the origins of this misinformation. She emphasized the importance of accountability, stating:
“To identify those responsible, I’ve hired digital forensics experts and private investigators. We will take all necessary legal action against anyone spreading this misinformation or defamatory content.”
In her statement, KG also addressed a particular rumor regarding her parents allegedly profiting from her career. She firmly refuted these claims, stating:
“As a child performer passionate about this industry, I’ve worked with various managers, agencies, stylists, and photographers. My parents have never controlled or profited from my career in any way—past or present. My family has always been loving and supportive, and I will no longer stand for any rumors or false allegations made against them.”
Background on KG and VCHA
KG, a 17-year-old American idol, gained fame as a member of the international girl group VCHA after participating in a collaborative survival program organized by JYP USA and Republic Records. She made her official debut in January 2024 alongside fellow members Lexi, Camila, Kendall, Savanna, and Kaylee.
On December 8, 2024, KG announced her departure from JYP USA, citing severe mistreatment and abusive conditions within the agency that had led to self-harm among the idols. This prompted her to initiate legal proceedings against the organization.
The following day, JYP USA responded by temporarily suspending all VCHA activities and denying KG’s accusations, hinting that her claims had an adverse impact on the group’s planned activities for early 2025. As it currently stands, VCHA remains inactive, with no announcements from JYP USA regarding future plans since December.
