-I see...

-Is she going to pursue an acting career now?

-I don't think it's an entertainment company. It seems like it's just an agency.

-I thought she was going to return to being a celebrity because of her major.

-I saw some people in the QRTs saying that these are AI-generated pictures... What's going on?

-Ah right... LE SSERAFIM started off with 6 members. I forgot about that.

-She’s pretty.

-I just saw the pictures and thought those looked AI-generated. I think it's just fake news.

-Does this company actually exist? The only content they have is about Kim Garam.

-It looks like a fake photo made from some previously released images...

-If these pictures were really AI-generated... That's even scarier.

-The account name was wrong from the start, it’s not ‘entertainment’ but ‘entertaiment’.

LE SSERAFIM's former member's Kim Garam and her desk that's filled with curse words

The recent whereabouts of Kim Garam (17), who were removed from LE SSERAFIM due to school violence allegations, surfaced online. 

On Aug 1, this picture was posted in an online community along with the title that says, 'Kim Garam recent whereabouts'. The picture shows a desk with Kim Garam's name and a lot of drawings on it. 

It's presumed that the words and drawings were left by Kim Garam's schoolmate. However, the authenticity of the picture still can not be confirmed. 

If the picture was real, it means that Kim Garam is currently receiving verbal abuse or being bullied. 

To this news, K-Netz show different reactions. The majority of them think she deserves it, however, this form of criticism is very wrong. It is not wise for a school bully to be treated the same way and violence could not be justified in any way. The rest of K-Netz are worried, saying that 'At this point, it's better for her to just quit school and take GED'. 

HYBE and LE SSERAFIM's agency, Source Music, is known to have terminated their contract with Kim Garam on July 20th. The allegations started to surface even before LE SSERAFIM debuted on May 2nd. HYBE claimed that all of the allegations made towards Kim Garam were false and they were going to take legal action. However, the allegations continued to add and just 18 days after her debut, Kim Garam halted all promotions. Two months after that, she left the group.

-I heard that was her desk when she was in middle school...

-That's not her recent whereabouts, the picture was taken when she was in middle school...

-Is this news credible?? Where's the source??

-This picture was taken when she was in middle school and her friends did that as a jokeㅋㅋㅋ It's pathetic to see kids joking around like that, though...

-Is she back to school now?

-It is stated in the news that the authenticity of the picture still can not be confirmed. It seems like a lot of you guys did not read the article.

-It seems to me that her friends were just joking around, though...?

-I think it's better for us to not show any interest anymore. She's no longer a celebrity and I believe she's a good person. I don't think it's necessary to do this.

-That was her desk when she was in middle school... Besides, we're on a summer break now...

Kim Garam's recent whereabouts

 After the news spread, HYBE does not have any thoughts to replace Kim Garam or remove her from the group, making LE SSERAFIM a 5-members group.

Kim Garam has been halting her activities for around a month, after receiving demand from netizens to withdraw from the group. But if you look at her recent whereabouts, she just stopped doing her promotions. She still goes to the company and even gives out her autograph to fans. 

 A fan posted this on a fan community, Weverse, along with a picture of LE SSERAFIM's album that was signed by 6 members. 

And another fan posted this on Twitter, along with the picture that shows Garam's autograph on the album.

Judging by how she still goes to the company to practice and gives out her autograph to fans, it seems like HYBE and Kim Garam are just waiting for the right timing for her to make her comeback. 

And she's still included in the pictorial from Non-no magazine, not because it was taken before she went on hiatus, but to secure her place once she makes her comeback. 

The victim is shedding tears and blood. HYBE and Kim Garam are really shameless for claiming that all of this information is false and made up. 

She's just on a leave. We'll probably see her again in LE SSERAFIM's next comeback. It terrifies me to think that we'll see that face of hers again in music shows.

1. [+355][-6] HYBE and this girl are really stubborn...

2. [+345][-4] Doesn't she ever think that she needs to leave the group...? Does that thought have never come to her mind after seeing how LE SSERAFIM ranks even higher in charts and gets even more views on Youtube after she went on hiatus? Does she not feel sorry for the other members? If I were her, I'd leave with my own will. Even if the company holds onto me, I'd still leave;;

3. [+296][-5] Are there people who miss Garam?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+184][-43] Honestly, she's the one who ruined LE SSERAFIM's imageㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+74][-1] She doesn't have an outstanding visual or talent. I wonder why the company still embraces her despite her controversial past?

6. [+54][-0] She was not suspected of school violence, she actually did school violence. In her defense, she had a reason behind it. Even if she had a reason, does that allow her to bully someone to the point that the victim has to get treated mentally and even attempted to kill herself? This company is one of the biggest companies in the entertainment industry. Does that allow them to harm the victim, make it sound like she's the perpetrator, and embrace the actual perpetrator instead? 

7. [+42][-1] I really hate the way HYBE deals with the overall situation. I hope they'll flop.

Kim Garam violence, 'Do you have disability because your mom has one?'

 Hello. I used to be in the same class with Kim Garam back in 7th grade. I once accidentally dropped her pencil case, so I picked it up and apologized to her. She said, 'Do you have a disability because your mom has one? Are you blind? Don't go around if you're blind' etc. The next day, I got picked on by her friends and also received attacks on my Facebook page. I want to get back to her because I found it unfair, but I'm afraid they'll get revenge on me so I didn't. Can you post this on my behalf? I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable.

The head company made us shut our mouths. Hybe found the school where the victim, Yoo Eunseo, went to and made them shut their mouths.

pann

[+2,298][-21]

1. [+887][-4] It gets me goosebumps how the company actually went to look to the school. Does every employee in that company have no conscience? They might have their kids, or maybe nieces or nephews, go to that school. Do they not feel any remorse when they go to find that school? Who came up with the idea to go to school and make the students shut their mouths? It's too much

2. [+763][-3] And they're still saying that she's the victim? Try to cover the whole sky with the palm of your hand if you can

3. [+691][-2] I bet Garam wouldn't even remember that she did such a thing. Because she's used to starting fights and causing problems regardless of time and place.

4. [+190][-1] This testimony from Garam's school colleague

'You would curse at me, call your friends, tell me to kneel in the hallway, and throw shopping bags at me every day. I remember that one day you ruined the whole mood during a math class and swore at herㅋㅋ'

5. [+149][-0] If a child has a disability because their parents have one, just imagine how evil of a satan Kim Garam's must be to give birth to such a monster.

6. [+135][-1] What is Kim Garam's relation to Hybe?

7. [+82][-0] I mean... They could've just kicked Kim Garam out. Why bother looking for students?

The fact that the victim wasn't called up for taking a hidden-cam picture

 is just bothering me. I think there's more to it. It just doesn't make sense that a private picture of her was spread online and she didn't do anything about it. On top of that, Kim Garam, who stepped up on her behalf, got the level 5 punishment instead?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

pann

[+658][-18]

1. [+303][-1] I think she has her own reason for that. The school and office of education are not stupid. I'm just very sick of Hybe. It's a fact that Kim Garam got the level 5 punishment, but they keep twisting the fact so that the victim seems like the perpetrator. Are they really human?

2. [+272][-2] I think you should keep this in mind. For the accurate information, I think you can hear it from the legal side, right?

'The picture was not taken in a hidden-cam manner. She was taking a selfie and accidentally captured Kim Garam and her friend in the back. Her friend was not even just wearing her underwear, she was wearing something that exposed a little bit of skin. The picture was posted on Instagram and she told it to Kim Garam. Kim Garam asked her why she posted that picture and that girl told her own mother about it. Everything about school-transferring will be revealed through her legal reps tonight. The original text is way longer, but it's from an online community so the accuracy is still being questioned, that's why I didn't attach a screen capture of it'

3. [+190][-4] Logically, if I got the level 5 punishment for defending my friend, whose private picture was taken without permission, I would do something about it. If there was really a girl whose private picture was taken without permission, she should've said something when the rumors about Kim Garam's school violence surfaced online. 

4. [+89][-0] It just doesn't make senseㅋㅋㅋ When a case is being opened, each party, teachers, office of education, and their parents were gathered and they all would be questioned and investigated. But it resulted in the person who took the hidden-cam manner being protected and Kim Garam got the level 5 punishment? We were all aware of hidden-cam even 4 years ago. In fact, we were even more aware of it than we are right now. 

5. [+65][-0] The committee doesn't just give out level 5 punishment easily, especially to a middle school student. Level 6 punishment is usually given to sexual assault cases and level 4 for sexual harassment cases. Why would they give out the level 5 punishment to a case that didn't even involve physical violence? She got in a fight for defending her friend, whose private pictures were taken withoutt permission? What kind of nonsense is that? If she really did take pictures without permission, she would've gotten the same level 5 punishment. I'm sure Hybe is going to change their statements later.

Hybe, 'Kim Garam has never said she was a fan of a particular male artist'

5. The part that said "She badmouthed about another artist" is not fact.

The rumor spreading about Kim Garam talking about another artist in a rude and indecent way is malicious false information. Kim Garam has never said she was a fan of a particular male artist. She has never talked negatively about another female idol from her group or another girlgroup. 

A new past picture of Kim Garam that surfaces online

You can see the word 'BTS' on her phone.

They're lying again.

theqoo

-Why would you put a sticker of a group's name if you're not a fan of them?ㅋㅋㅋ Why are they hiding the fact that she's a fan of BTS

-Why are they lying about this?

-Do they think we wouldn't catch them lying?

-So they're keeping their mouth shut when it comes to things that they have to clarify. Instead, they're speaking up about things that are unnecessary like this?

-Shouldn't Hybe protect BTS? Why are they only protecting KGR? There's nothing good coming out from them mentioning this. Why do they speak up about this in the first place?

-I'm pissed off that my idol, who did nothing wrong, is now related to this problematic girl

-I think Bang Sihyuk is not destined to produce a girl group...

-Why bother lying about the most obvious thing? Just kick her out

-? Why is Hybe protecting her? Who does she have behind her? It's really suspicious

-Just kick her out. What's so good about her that you keep lying just so you can keep her in your company?

-I'm not a fan but why isn't Hybe protecting BTS? What's the reason?

LE SSERAFIM's Kim Garam, the allegations were true... The victim is going through rough times, did a suicide attempt and even dropped out of school

The victim did not demand any compensation. All she wanted is for the company to take down official statements that do not collide with the truth, rewrite the statement that is based on the truth, apologize to her, and for Kim Garam and her friends to not release false statements one-sidedly.

However, Hybe did not take any action at all and let Kim Garam continue her activities as a celebrity as if nothing happened. 

The victim is going through a hard time, it was reported that she even did a suicide attempt. Not only that, the victim and her parents decided to drop out of school. Before she dropped out, the victim did not go to school for 7 weeks in a row as she received treatments for her psychological health. The victim's mother also quit her personal activities in order to focus on taking care of the victim so that she would not do any suicide attempts again. 

The reason why the victim and her parents filed a criminal complaint against Kim Garam's school violence and sent the mail to Hybe without filing a civil complaint is because the victim wants the second round attacks to stop more than any other compensation.

However, Hybe continues to ignore the victim, and when the report from the school violence committee surfaces online, they release a statement saying that the allegation is considered defamation and they will be taking legal action against it. The victim's parents could not endure having their daughter going through a hard time and now are releasing a statement through a legal representation.

pann

[+4,121][-28]

1. [+2,469][-10] Hybe is the perpetrator

2. [+1,659][-10] Why does the victim's official statement sound so sad...

3. [+1,621][-8] This is pissing me off. I hope Hybe flops. 

4. [+839][-1] The victim says if Hybe continues to threaten her, she'll expose it all

Kim Garam's alleged victim reps, 'If Hybe does not release statements, we'll reveal the abusive messages'

5. [+702][-0] ..

'After that, I quit my job and started running a school violence prevention activity. It's hard to talk about that day, even though 27 years have passed. He jumped off of an apartment building and landed on a car, he survived. But then he jumped off again, and I can not explain how a parent feels when a 16 years old kid died like that. He's in my heart for the rest of my life.'

6. [+635][-1] No matter how much you love money, how can you twist the fact so that the victim becomes the perpetrator and even made her did a suicide attempt because of it. Don't you think that kind of people is the worst human being ever? They completely ruin her mental health. It's very sickening. 

7. [+572][-0] 

We should be concerned about what answer we can give to the victim who still can't forget about the memories of her abuse and can only think that dying is the only way out. 

For the perpetrator, the violence might be just a joke, or the victim deserves it, or it is a usual thing that happens among friendships. 

However, the perpetrators should be aware that to this victim, whose friends and school life mean a lot to her, the memories of the abuse leave a deep wound that can not be healed by any treatment or compensation. 

The awareness of seriousness regarding school violence is the best thing we can do to prevent our kids from becoming the next victim.

HYBE's additional explanation about Kim Garam

 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'

theqoo

-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...

Two idols who has documents on the school violence committee

 

Kim Sohye filed a complaint against the perpetrator when her document on the school violence committee was discovered by the police

Kim Sohye's reps, 'It is true that she got a punishment from the school violence committee, however the misunderstanding is already resolved. She did not lie in the explanation about the case.'

Her company also admitted that she got punished for it.

LE SSERAFIM's Kim Garam through her legal representative speaks up about her being the victim

theqoo

-So that's the reason why Kim Sohye suddenly does not show up anywhere?

-I only heard that Kim Sohye was a bully, but I had no idea she was also called up by the school violence committee... This is shocking.

-I used to support Kim Sohye because she looked innocent even though she was really stiff in Produce 101. I guess I was fooled.

-What? I thought she spoke up about being the victim back then. Please don't ever think about being on TV if you've bullied your friends...

-She did that in her 1st year of high school? Level 5 perpetrator at that age...? That's severe...

-I knew that Kim Sohye was called up by the school violence committee, but wasn't she there as the victim...??

-Hul... Kim Sohye is a bully? This is why you shouldn't completely trust celebrities' images

-The fact that both of them released statements that they were the victims still amazes me...

-Why is no one talking about Kim Sohye's case? What in the world is happening...

-Just imagine how serious their cases must be that the school violence committee is involved... It's not easy to involve that committee...

HYBE Ent., "There was a reason why LE SSERAFIM's Kim Garam called up by the school violence committee... All the rumors are lies'

 On the 20th, Hybe reveals, 'Kim Garam was called up by the school violence committee back in 2018, when she was in her 1st year of junior high school. The perpetrator (Victim A) had a problem with a friend (B) and requested the case to the school violence committee. Kim Garam stepped up to defend that friend, B.' 

Hybe explains, 'A took a picture of B only in her underwear without any permission and spread it on social media under the name of another person. Kim Garam was enraged by this video, and along with her friends, she confronted A. However, there was no physical violence involved in this process. A admitted to her wrong-doings, but she was not given any punishment. Instead, the friends who confronted her were pointed out as perpetrators and referred to the school violence committee. As a result, Kim Garam and one other friend were punished'

Hybe continues, 'A told this problem to a close male friend of hers. Kim Garam received physical violence from A and her male friend outside the school.' Hybe also reveals that Kim Garam is going through a hard time because of all the false rumors surfacing online right now.

-There are more and more proofs being posted on the Internet each day and they think we will believe this? Seems like everyone in this company is stupid. This is the worst way possible to give feedback. 

-Is she Bang Sihyuk's daughter or what? I don't know why they keep defending her. I just don't understand.

-If those allegations were false, they should provide some proof in order for us to believe them. How are we supposed to believe them if the only thing they do is talk? 

-What does her father do? I'm really curious...

-Do you think the school violence committee is stupid? Do you think they did not run an investigation on the case?? Do you think they punished her just based on A's testify?? Give us some proof so that we can believe you.

-Then why is none of her school colleagues defending her?

-Why didn't she request a case for that problem then? If A really did spread the pictures online, there must be some proof she can provide. Then why didn't she request a case? 

-This is like trying to cover the sky with the palm of your hand...

-Do you think we're stupid? This doesn't make sense at all

-All the criminals think they're being wronged as well~~ They would say, 'I have my own reason to hit her' or 'I have my own reason to kill them'. But that doesn't make them less of criminals.

-So you're saying the school violence committee is not doing their job properly?

Another post exposing Kim Garam

I'm a school colleague of Kim Garam. Kim Garam asked me to join the dance club, so I had no other choice but followed her. There were two students from the first year in the club. There was this girl, H, who did some movement wrong. She was told, 'H-ah, if you're only going to do this wrong and harm the other teammates, just leave~ We can pick out some new members anyway' and the other teammates laughed at her. When H apologized, she was told, 'What are you sorry for?~ We're just kidding' some kind of bullshit. Kim Garam often ruined the mood of the club. There was one time the dance club was about to participate in a festival, we didn't have much time to practice so one of the members thought it was a great idea to practice 4 times a week. Kim Garam responded, 'Who allows you? It's not a big festival anyway' as if she was the head of the club. I was about to say something because I found it ridiculous, but I didn't. And yes, she was in a fight when she was in her first year of junior high. The dance club had an ice-breaking session, we sat in a circle and each of us told a TMI. She sounded so f*cking confident when she said, 'Guys, do you know why I transferred to this school?'. The girls asked, 'Because you moved out of town?'. And she responded as she covered her face and laughed, 'I was transferred here because I hit someoneㅋㅋㅋㅋ' And the girls were like '???', she was the only one who laughed. She said, 'I'm not like that anymore because I'm going to be an idol'. I didn't expect she would actually debut as an idol. When she got accepted in Hybe and confirmed to debut, she went to give H some snacks and apologized to her, and maybe some of the other girls she fought in her class, she apologized to all of them. It is fact that she was involved in school violence, but of course, Hybe is defending herㅋㅋ Kim Garam has never cursed at me but I just want to tell everyone about her behavior.

'I just posted this but it was taken down. Is it Hybe?'

KGR: It's not a big contest after all. Who allows you to make us practice 4 times a week?ㅋㅋㅋ

'And no, she wasn't in the third year when she fought. She was in 2nd year of junior high when she did thatㅋㅋㅋ'

'Oh... She's like an onion, the more you peel, the more comes outㅋㅋㅋ'

'I'm OP and I think I have a picture that proves Kim Garam acting like she's the head of the clubㅋㅋㅋ I'll look for it. It was so ridiculous that I wrote a paragraph, but I didn't send it in the end. I just screen-captured it and told other people that I was going to send that'

'Kim Garam once got kicked out from the dance club when she was in the first year because she cursed at her seniorsㅋㅋ I have a proof that she apologized to those seniors in the group chat'

-The fact that she laughed when she admitted she hit someone... Isn't she a psychopath?

-She already had a dream of becoming an idol since she was very young, then why on the earth did she live her life like that?ㅋㅋㅋ I sincerely just don't get it...

-Whoa... The fact that all of these things happened only 3 years ago...

-Is hitting someone something that you should be proud of?? Why did she laugh when she talked about that?

-The fact that she did all of that and still has the dream of becoming an idol is just... amazingㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-She seemed to not be reflecting on her previous behavior and apologized just because she's debuting to become an idol...

-She's amazing, but not in a good way...

-The fact that she did all of that and still acting like she's the victim... She's sick in the head...

-Whoa... There are more and more proofs surfacing online. Unbelievable.

-I don't usually swear at young girls... But she has crossed the lines.

-How does she still have the dream of becoming a celebrity? Does she think her company will take care of her shit??

-This makes me believe that karma does exist
