SEOUL, August 8 (AJP) - K-pop girl band GIRLSET, formerly of VCHA, will release an album later this month, their agency JYP Entertainment said on Friday.

Their single, slated for release on Aug. 29, was created by American songwriter Theron Thomas, who previously worked on K-pop juggernaut BTS' member Jungkook's "Seven" and girl group BLACKPINK member Rosé's viral hit song "APT."

The quartet consists of Camila, Kendall, Lexi, and Savanna, who newly teamed up after two members left the former six-member group VCHA.

VCHA made their debut in Sept. 2023 after being recruited through "America 2 Korea (A2K)," a reality audition show as part of a joint project between JYP and U.S. label Republic Records to create an American version of a K-pop girl group.
