In the K-pop industry, the music scene is dominated by the big four agencies, which are SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and HYBE Labels. While all four each have different styles to offer, JYPE is known for its iconic girl groups.
The agency has produced many of K-pop's biggest names which successfully shaped the genre into what it is today. These female acts are Wonder Girls, Miss A, TWICE, and ITZY.
When the company saw gradual success, it decided to expand its reach. JYPE then debuted their first Japanese girl group NiziU and fourth-gen representative NMIXX.
Later on, it announced that the agency would be having its survival program "A2K," also known as "America2Korea," which ended on September 21 and formed the girl group VCHA.
VCHA, the new girl group that was formed between JYP Entertainment and Republic Records, is set to shine across international areas with their music. They are also aimed to hit markets in both the United States and South Korea.

JYPE should focus on 1-2 group before they’re well established. JYPE don’t have much manpower and resource to take care of so many artists. get a dedicated team to work with 1 group. deliver better promotion plan + QC for physical albums. prepare a well-planed schedule for tour
