The first thing people question is, 'If she was given the level 5 punishment wrongly, shouldn't she protest about it instead of debuting?'
To this, HYBE/Source Music explained to Dong-A, 'She got the level 5 punishment even though there was no physical violence involced. Since the school violence committee is not a court, it is conducted differently for each case, school, area, and person in charge. At that time, Kim Garam's mother believed that the school would have provided the best and most helpful direction for her daughter, therefore there was no objection made against the disciplinary action that was taken. She regrets not taking any complaints against the disciplinary action, at that time she thought it was the best for her daughter's education'

-To Kim Garam's mother, please say something that makes more sense^^
-She kept acting like she was wrongly accused, so I thought the news saying that she got the level 5 punishment was false. But in the end, she admits to it too...
-The more they speak up, the weirder they sound...
-I mean, if she was punished wrongly, she should've hired a lawyer, considering that her daughter was debuting to be an idol soon...ㅋㅋㅋ
-She should have not let her daughter debut as an idol if she really cares about her. This could be easily buried deeply if she was not an idol. But instead, she debuted and this past of hers got exposed to the whole world.
-What kind of mother stays silent when her daughter got punished wrongly?
-Does anyone have any idea why this company works so hard to defend her?
-Why do they keep defending her like this??
-You call this an explanation?
-Do you think the public is stupid?
-Isn't it best for her to leave the group? I think it's the best option in any way possible. Is there any reason why they still let her stay?
-I'm really worried about the victim's mental health... Why does this company keep on defending her...
