It’s so funny how they hated her for being a “bully” but they bullied her….

Soojin and garam were both falsely accused of bullying, and kicked out of there groups yet nothing has happened to the accusers it’s pitiful and unfair to them people were so quick to attack them and for what

It's very sad to see kpop idols years of hardwork is getting destroyed because of fake scandels 😭..

Y’all better stay neutral with the next “bullying scandal” I’m so tired of seeing stuff like this happening. Being a fan of Kpop since 2004, it used to be fun but people have really lost their minds lately!

I feel like she’s taking this very maturely. She isn’t making a huge fuss about being kicked out or being accused of bullying. She is simply “This is what happened. I am not who the public thinks I am. Thanks for supporting me while my time lasted.” and that was that. It’s honestly more believable that she’s innocent because she seems to not care what the public thinks since she shared what is her side of the story.

Hopefully Kim Garam is doing well Mentally and emotionally after being through such a difficult situation especially on social media and really hope she’s doing well in her life

I remember when most people believed she was a bully and said things similar to the lines: "She has the face of a bully"... they must feel so ashamed of themselves because she is actually a loyal girl who greatly values friendship. Judging someone by what (they think) they look like is absolutely ridiculous.

It so sad to see how far people will go to tear someone down...I hope she's emotionally doing well and taking it easy :)

The fact that her school even got involved and proved she was innocent. Some people just don’t want to accept the fact that she isn’t innocent and want to keep tormenting her life with the hate comments. Kim Garam’s parents spoke that she didn’t do that in her past school life. Even the leaked messages of eunseo planning to ruin her career. Being in a group for 2 weeks is very memorable for garam and I want her to be able to get love but some just don’t want to.

I really hope she debuts again. Her fan base is growing everyday. Even though she was an idol for only 2 weeks she is really famous and everyone loves her. Obviously this is all because netizens are sorry for what they've done.

How can people ask Hybe to show proof of Garam's innocence, while the persons accusing her didn't show any ?? They believed those liars without any proof. This is such a disgusting and sad story, completly unfair, it makes me mad. The girl is only 16 I think ? Everyone wish they would have a friend defending them like she did for hers. 💔 I hope she's doing ok and that she can reach whatever dream she has, and will be happy !

So sad to see a 16 year old's dreams and career get ruined by people who rush to jump to conclusions, I hope Garam is doing much better mentally now that its been some time since her departure. She's still so young and I hope that she can Redebut as a soloist, in another group, or even back with LE SSERAFIM (very big reach but I'd love to see it, another big reach but at the end of the anti fragile MV it said "do you want to be forgiven" my garam Stan heart is hoping that's their way of teasing her coming back.) Garam was always so talented I fell in love with her voice in Sour Grapes and Blue Flame I'll forever cherish the "FEARLESS" EP because her amazing vocals. The two weeks she graced our screens as an idol were amazing and I hope she can become a star again in the future♥💗 Lets hope the KNETZ forgive her now that the documents have been fully released. #JusticeForGaram #KimGaramDeservesBetter

The fact that Kim Garam was accepted into her current school right now which is SOPA is proof that all allegations against her were not true. Do you think a prestigious school like that didn't review Garam's case before admitting her? Let that sink in to all haters out there. She got accepted because she's innocent and all the people in SOPA love her according to reports.

'I don't know if she really did all the bullying but kick her out of the group because she is downgrading everyone's image'. Omg that's soooo toxic. People treat idols like dolls which they can just throw away if they don't like it anymore. That's horrible and even horrific. They're still humans and they deserve justice and respectful treatment just like anyone else.

Garam's case is really similar to (G)I-DLE's Soojin. Both were accussed to be bullies (also the accussations were really similar), both were put in hiatus, and then... both got kicked out of the agences. And now... it's turning that they both are probably innocent and people want them back. I feel SO bad for them, they didn't deserve this. I hope Garam and Soojin can be back at the industry and life a happy life they dream of

This poor child. I really hope she is in a healthy headspace. I wish she could still be an idol after working so hard to debut but whatever the future holds for her I just wish her good health.

Hybe defended Garam more and beyond compared to other company would. In my opinion, the things the company said is the same as Garam herself. Its the netizen and kpop fans who judge her & caused her termination. In my opinion, what she did not do anything wrong… it was fights among kids and she defended her friend! Oh, how can we overlook the fact tht kakao literally got recently caught that they purposely spread malicious articles about her & her group…that really happened.

I hope she does comeback.. she deserves it. This was obviously her dream and it got ruined by immature people that didn’t let her speak out. I feel so bad.. she’s just a kid :(

Garam is innocent Soojin was Innocent Woojin was innocent Chuu is innocent KPOP INDUSTRY HAS TO CHANGE

I wish that I had a friend like Garam when I was bullied in school. She valiantly defended her friend and lost her future as an idol over it. What sickens me is that Knetz CRUCIFIED her without knowing all the facts. International netizens as well. And I’m positive that some of them are now posting that they hope she’s doing okay even though THEY were complicit in her ruination. They played judge, jury and executioner without knowing all the facts. Without knowing the whole story. And they didn’t care. Between Soojin and Garam, girls who should have never left the KPop world, it makes me hate the fans. Because the most hateful fans are the ones that the companies listen to above the defenders. The haters have the loudest voices, the most sway. They threaten the companies with boycotting the groups. And they get their way. Even when they’re wrong. I hope karma gets every single one of them.

As someone who was once friends with a narcissist and was bullied most of my lifetime I really feel for her. Yes, I may not know the whole story since I'm an outsider but even if she did abuse the alleged victim verbally it was for a good reason. And yes, that does not excuse her behaviour but let's be real ya'll - I bet you did that in your life multiple times, maybe not even knowing you did. I've done that because there were phases in my life that made me do that. We're humans, we feel, we sometimes are too emotional to think of someone elses feelings in that moment. What is important, that you don't just leave it there but rethink and learn from it. This is how you learn and it is the only way to learn. If idols were perfect, scandals wouldn't be a thing. People forget how everyone is imperfect and make mistakes at least once a day. She's also a minor and I think the one's that made rude/disgusting remarks about her are even worse. Maybe you think about your own mistakes you made rather than focusing on someone else's life? You're no better than her, as I am no better than you and her. We are all equally imperfect. I also made rude/disgusting remarks to some people and I regret deeply. I always try to apologise and make up for my mistakes. This is the way to live an earnest and honest life. But it would be too much to ask everyone to live like that and I do not expect everyone to do so. In the end there will be repercussions for every choice you make in your life. No matter how big or small it is, you should learn from it. Please, for the love of god, stop harassing idols and just people in general just because of some rumours that aren't even backed up. Now I wish everyone a wonderful day. Spend it wisely. :=)

I wish she is doing fine no matter what path she choose i'll support her and root for her forever she desserves so much better and she didn't desserve what happened to her. Not only her dream was ruined but her mental health too i wish she'll never give up on her dream. KIM GARAM YOU DESSERVE SO MUCH BETTER

This is one of the cases in kpop where it truly shows kpop stans' hero complex. They don't really care about the alleged victims ,they just care about boosting their ego with the thought of 'I did good helping kicking out a bully and therefore I'am the good guy ,it doesn't matter if we bully them the same way they did to the victims ,they had it coming and deserved it ,after all ,they deserved to be treated the same way they treated the victims'. Ofcourse considering that kpop runs on mob mentality it's not really a surprise ,the fact that they hadn't even realized how unreliable the alleged victim is just mind boggling.

I can't believe y'all ruined a 16 year old girl dream 😔😔 *I Miss you Kim GARAM* 😭😭

I genuinely hope she's doing well now

It's extremely sad that, while each member of Le Sserafim represented their own backstory of being 'fearless' in their own way, Garam had it one of the hardest. She was fearless in defending her friend of nonconsensual child p**n, and mentioned in the August statement that her parents always raised her to be a good Samaritan and never a bystander when a friend is in need. I would really like to see her comeback as an actress who has a similar trait to her IRL because she'd fit the role and deserve all the success coming to her.

I feel bad for Garam. She was innocent from the start, and her whole career was ruined by some people. I hope Garam is happy in what she does.

This has happened to so many idols and not only do people not realize they’re wrong, but they keep doing it 😭 I’ve said this before but I remember my old social studies teacher telling us that the reason we need to learn the history of so many things is so we don’t make the same mistakes again, but yet people are still repeating these mistakes again… Is it really that hard to just stay neutral when there isn’t even groundbreaking evidence….

i feel so bad. hopefully she will debut under a diff company, seeing how people still support her :)

I've been bullied in school. I've met my bully again in a store years later. We talked like normal people. Did she change? I don't know and don't care. If these alleged bullies bullied their members, staff, fans, etc...then yes. Fire them. That's a toxic work place. Getting fired for swearing at someone while she was a child? Lol. If she beat up anyone and there were pictures, proof, etc. meh. I am 50/50 on that one. She should apologize to that person, prove she changed to that person. Etc. But it has nothing to do with us unless it happened in the industry itself. We all did s-t while we were young. Half the population should be fired. Some are bullying at work every day, and no one does anything though. Kids are kids. Teach them to do better. Just sending them back to where they came from? How does that do anything but make them hate the person they allegedly hurt even more? Bad parenting by the internet. If they dissapear from their eyes, everything's solved. But as a victim myself, no. It's not solved. It had nothing to do with their work.

Whats worse is that they didn't think that she was 12 YEARS OLD when this happened

I love how her fans supported her , even with so much rumors going around. I love you garam. 💘

Jealousy is the *worst* human emotion.

all this just so damn stupid. everyone earlier was telling garam to leave lesserafim and many even gave her death threats and hated on her. everyone was against her but now they all have changed. wow. such hypocrisy.

7:14 for those who already know what happened with her and just wants to know where she is now/her response 💞

it's sad to see a young talented girl's future life being ruined just because of some rumors...i really didn't expect her to be kicked out from le sserafim. Garam ! We love you so much and hope you're ok...you are a great singer too ❤

and this is why people need to stop jumping to conclusions and wait to hear the whole story. this poor kid's dreams and such were crushed because people couldn't help but attack her without knowing the whole situation. I hope she's doing okay and gets to debut again. she deserves better

I can imagine how happy she must've been after receiving such an amazing gift from her fans 😭 I love her sm! I hope she is healthy and happy 💗💗💗

The fact people brought her down the moment she debuted is disgusting

1:40 that isn’t Garam she has long fingers, Garam suffers from something from her hands which makes her hands shorter. It’s not her

So let’s see. > her bully posts rumors of her online > people believe it and start rumor bullying Garam > Garam gets kicked out of LS > Now that she’s proven innocent, they say “just forget about it” or “it’s Korea you’re not allowed to comment on it”. Did I miss something? That about sums it up doesn’t it? You guys just believed some rumors and ruined this girls career and now refuse to admit you were wrong. And I have every reason you’ll do it again because of comments like “let’s just move on”.

Why bullying still happening nowadays...omg kids get a life.. kdrama also always portraying bullying.. poor Garam , the real bully is the accuser..

Kim Garam is not a bad or evil person. What she might or might not has done as a child is a very minor offense. She deserves her reputation to be be restored in all public. She deserves a second chance in the industry if she still wants to. I will always support her.

Even if Garam is now a name in the Kpop industry that will be never forgotten in a bad way ever again, I still hope haters will leave her alone and that Garam will have a bright and great future!

Fearnots really did not deserve Garam.

my problem is that you were one of the channels helping to spread the rumors and even though you always take “neutral” positions about things it always seemed like you were against her because it’s what was popular to do at the time, and now that people are talking about how crazy and wrong the whole thing was, it seems like you’re trying to backtrack or act like you didn’t add fuel to the fire or contribute in the smear campaign against her before

Jealous really is a sickness. I actually feel really sorry for her, this was a great opportunity. She's so beautiful.

for now let's just let Garam be an "ordinary person" don't give her so much attention because that will attract more haters. Remember she is still underage and already got quite a big scandal, So just let she spend her school years. When the time comes she will return, so please be patient

It’s so sad her career got ruined because people jumped to conclusions without all the evidence. Even now people still say Garam was a bully when all she did was defend her friend.

As someone who was bullied for years all of these fake bullying accusations can be very triggering I hope she is well

The funniest thing out of all this is that when she was still in LE SSERAFIM people started to make her look evil by taking pieces of clips where she seemed to be doing something bad but actually wasn’t…garam really deserves an apology for all everything the haters made her go through…

I wish her to rejoin the Kpop scene even if she doesn’t rejoin The group, she is a true idol and deserves to be an idol

I'm certain she would have been an excellent idol and entertainer...I wish her all the best❤️

Looking back, HYBE isn't the villain for kicking her out. they did their best to keep garam as long as they could. But I think the pressure from netizens who wanted her out forced them to terminate her contract in order for le sserafim to succeed. Until now with all of the evidence proving she's a victim, people are still hating on a literal child. Maybe she did some things that weren't right but she wasn't the bully that eu***o made her be. Hopefully garam will find a new dream in the future. And hopefully eun*** gets her karma.

I hope Garam is well and hopefully we see her again since she has such a bright future ahead of her

These kinds of scandals never cancel the people who actually deserve it. There are a ton of idols who have done much worse than just yell slurs during their middle school era, yet they're untouched.

I miss Garam so much :( she deserves the biggest apology

Why can't we sue those persons who accused them.

Garam is actually brave for defending her friend. If I were in her shoes I'd beat up Eunsoo.

I wonder how the school punished Garam for cursing but let Eunsoo go without anything

I can't believe there r still Garam antis out there.. and guess what? STILL BELIEVING EUNSEO after all those hooplas and documents proof that Garam is innocent

Being that her dream was to debut as an idol, I hope she comes back to the industry and debut as a soloist. She is very talented and I would hate to see it go to waste.

You were one of the channels blaming garam and using her name for views but now you want to try this. Don’t pretend like you care for her

I really want Garam and Soojin to redebute together with a song to bash their haters because it's about time the haters face the second hand embrassment they made the girls go through.

She was such a flawless idol. We lost a queen.

The fact it was confirmed that she’s innocent breaks my heart

I believe Garam’s heart was in the right place to protect her friend. I think if most of us were in that situation we’d be pissed, I’d probably yell cuss words especially if it’s in the name of my friend. I think the best people can do is try to understand Garam’s situation. She was 16 and she was dealing with this type of bullying. It’s really sad. Childhood shouldn’t be memories of pain. I really feel for this girl. I could care less about her looks, I would want her to return because her career was unjustly taken away from her. I really loved her voice. I hope she’s doing well especially in health.

I was thinking in a few years, once she finishes high school and the news about her has died down, she will debut in a new girl group. Garam is so skilled, she's a great idol, and it's her dream so I don't think she would give it up without a 2nd try.

She's a 16yr old girl, she never did anything wrong. You all called her a bully but you were the ones who bullied her relentlessly up to the point where she wasnt leaving her room. Y'all ruined a 16 year olds dream, she trained for quite a while just for her to get hate before she even debuted.

I feel so badly for her and can't imagine the shame, anxiety and guilt she must feel especially seeing her group do so well. She and sj deserve the world

NOT MY COMMENT JUST WANNA SPREAD TO ATLEAST PUT SOME JUSTICE TO GARAM For those not caught up on the Garam case: This case was resolved 11 months ago when Garam released the full School Violence Committee Document (Eunseo, the "victim", had previously shown the public only the first 3 lines of the document). Turns out the person who called themselves the "victim" (we call her Eunseo) and said she got bullied by Garam was actually Garam's friend in middle school, but they decided to stop being friends because Eunseo kept talking behind all of her friend's backs. Eunseo was salty she lost all of her friends and decided to hack into an ex-friends Facebook account (to make it look like it wasn't her who did this) and post pictures of another ex-friend (12 y/ o at the time) where they were only wearing their underwear. This was very traumatic for the girl whose pictures were posted because she still had to attend school after students saw her half naked so she called Garam and asked for help. Garam tried to reach Eunseo,but she wouldn't pick up so frustrated Garam cursed a couple of times over text and when they eventually met up Garam coursed and yelled at Eunseo some more and asked her to delete the photo and apologize. Eunseo later went to the schools violence committee and asked them to punish Garam for the cursing over text and Garam got the Iv15 punishment (most common punishment in her school). It was never bullying, because before that incident they were literally friends. Oh yeah and also, to avoid punishment, Eunseo transferred schools and then continued to spread rumours about Garam in the new school. So yeah, Garam's career got ruined by a jealous person and a former (fake) friend who couldn't stand to see Garam achieve her dreams. If you wanna read the SVC document, here's the link: twitter.com/oncemimosa /status/1557479971052048384?t= Ax61xNOSisxuGWDa4F9NsA&s=19 Also this document is helpful if you wanna read more about the case: docs.google.com/document /d/108cJs2GeHfWbn919 -yzMEYvkXMJA3UExd7aH67skXaY/edit?usp= drivesdk Edit: There has also been a website made to make it easier to access all the information on the case. sites.google.com/view/garam -scandal/home

Cursing at and making disparaging remarks toward a bully who is bullying you (and/or your friends) is NOT being a bully. A victim IS allowed to fight back (respond) against her bully. Cursing, regardless of the reason, is inappropriate (for which she received a “slap on the wrist”). The other stuff, Garam had NOTHING to do with. All that happened when she was TWELVE YEARS OLD. Which makes all this “drama” so ridiculous. Garam is completely innocent. Yoo EunSeo WAS and CONTINUES to be the bully. Hopefully, Yoo EunSeo will receive her karma soon. Best wishes to Garam.

like netizeins ever actually care about bullying problem, people only acted up cus they where jealous

Garam has a lot of people by her side and the students respect her a lot. I think the new photos of her posing are proof of that. I just know she'll make it big once she comes back. I'm willing to wait for her for as long as it's needed!

It's funny how this youtuber made a video against Garam saying she's crazy rich that's why hybes not kicking her out and all and making fake alligations amd look what you all have done now...

bro all these hate comments are so mad af. like just stfu and cry about it?! do you know her that well?? are you her parents or some shits that u can predict?!?! same as the soojin case. holy. i need to take a break from kpop communities frnow.

Tbh,i still wanna see Garam to be back in le sserafim or even to another group.She is still young so she still has alot of potential left to be seen by the public.But only she can decide either she wanna go back to being a idol or just be a commoner now.I still love OT6 Le sserafim🤍

Trained for years to debut but was an idol just for 2 months😢 , i really want her back , it is proven that she is innocent right , hybe can make a new contract with her. Hybe pls bring Kim garam back😢

Now where are all those who bullied Garam????? Are these kpop stans children or something? Why do they believe everything they see on the internet? And srsly Hybe/SouMu? You could’ve given her a longer hiatus like what JYPE did for Hyunjin. Just goes to show how much you (don’t) care about your idols

HYBE did a terrible job in defending her. All they had to do was get official school records/documents and release it to the public for everyone to see (which Garam had to do on her own, through her friend's IG) and it would've been dealt with so easily. But, instead, they just released their written statement and then stayed silent. And basically, allowed the public to crucify her. And ultimately, they had no choice but to terminate her contract due to the immense hate and backlash from both Knetz and i-fans. It's a shame that an innocent person's dreams and aspiration was shattered, because people jumped into conclusions without considering that the rumor could be false. This is what happened to T-ara, when everything believed a false bullying rumors and ruined the group's popularity and image. People can say to move on and that she was only in the group for 2 weeks, etc. And I have moved on. But, I can also have an opinion on the matter as well. Otherwise, you also wouldn't be on this video, specifically about Garam, telling others to move on.

Hopefully she redebut as a solo

She deserves the world. If and WHEN she redebuts, I will support her 120%. Y’all who bullied her should be embarrassed and ashamed of yourselves

She got punished for defending her friend from a pervert in middle school??? What kind of stupid thing is this?

Cursing in 2 occasions is bullying? Not the bullying where I live.

Now where tf are those people who fought me in the comments saying "They know a bully when they see one"

So sad that garam's career had to end in such a bad way I will always support her and I hope she's doing well.😭❤

I Will NEVER Forget How korean media put her face everywhere on national tv at 16 like a criminal, this is sick

Garam, Soojin, Jimin... How many people falsely accused of bullying will have to be kicked out of their groups for netizens to learn to wait evidence from BOTH sides??? If rumors like this happen again with any idol just KEEP YOUR FINGERS TO YOURSELVES FOR GOODNESS SAKE

*I can't believe y'all ruined a 16 year old girl dream* 😔😔 *Garam is are the real visual* She not in group but she is kinda........ That's great garam i love still as I do you first I saw your *goddess visual* . I WISH YOU CAME BACK TO ORIGINAL OT6 😔😔😔😔

I’m so glad to hear from her again❤

People who still call her commoner and ask why people are supporting her are just the worst, this person who accused her got everything they wanted, and you want to give her more?

Even if she was just a rookie and Hybe is already protecting her made sense to me, Hybe wouldn't want more negative issues so they try to minimize it, also le sserafin was their new baby, of course, Hybe would protect it but as the issue blew up and many netz just want her out, with pressure, Hybe as a company also want to protect their reputation and their other idols, boycotting is becoming a thing now, I think that if they continue to defend her and netz gather more "evidence" people would just boycott the whole group and the company labeled as "tolerating a bully". Public pressure is so much right now (back then) that it's unfair, she didn't get to defend herself at the time (issues like these reminded me of Sujin! they are talented people) Also if Garam's side is the true story, the said "victim" wasn't so much as a "victim" as she posted a picture of someone half naked online, publicly humiliating them...Also, it's dumb to get ridiculed for cursing, yes, it's bad but it's not murder, there are worst things out there a teenager could do other than cursing at someone who humiliated their friend, give this kid a chance.

I hope she's doing good. I feel so sorry for her and wish her all the best in life. Beautiful, beautiful girl

She is so beautiful and talented 😢 what a loss

She wasn’t not any type of tormentor. What she did was defending her friend against injustice.

The people that are saying she's a commoner now and her fans shouldn't talk about her is the most brain dead thing I've ever heard, so they're basically saying if you're not an idol then you're worth mentioning, just ridiculous

lol how could she be the tormentor when she confronted the asshole who posted someone in their underwear online without her permission. what the hell

I just don't understand why she was kicked. It was so obvious that the allegations were lies. The person in the pictures said to be Garam was just a random person 💀 Everyone who stuck their nose into these things and simply accepted everything without finding out more. I hope it will show up in your life somehow. Just because of your ignorance she had to say goodbye to her dream. Everyone knows how difficult the trainee tsge are.

I want her to go back😭❤

people are so stupid like wdym "she just proved that she wasnt a regular student" so youre telling me you wouldn't help and defend your friends after something horrible happened to them??? posting pictures someone didnt consent to is wrong and i need these people to ask themselves do they actually really care if garam cursed or what because its pretty pathetic. like seriously yall ruined this girls dreams for what exactly. what did any of these people gain from getting her kicked out besides satisfaction? how is that gonna help you in life? just sad and miserable.
