One of the members of the new Source Music girl group LE SSERAFIM has been accused of being a bully in school and other bad actions.
- There are photos of her standing in front of a blackboard with inappropriate images drawn on it (so I won't post it here)
- She's accused of bullying junior students to the point where 1 student had to be hospitalized
- She apparently drank and smoked while being underage
I've also found a rumor that she was originally a Starship Entertainment trainee but left after being removed from the IVE lineup.
However, HYBE released the following statement essentially saying she was the victim:
Hello, this is HYBE.
We would like to inform you about our position regarding the suspicions related to Kim Garam, who has been confirmed to debut as a member of LESSERAFIM, a girl group from Source Music under HYBE.
Since yesterday, there have been accusations made against her on various websites, and we have conducted an internal verification process. The results are as follows:
The recent allegations were cunningly edited to maliciously slander Kim Garam over the events that occurred during the time when she was making friends in the early stages of middle school.
Contrary to the claims, it was confirmed through a third-party statement that Kim Garam was a victim of school bullying, including malicious rumors and cyberbullying, when she was in middle school.
In addition, it was confirmed that the rumors, such as that Kim Garam was a trainee at another agency or that she leaked internal documents, are not true.
We believe that the allegations are maliciously intended to harm the artist who is about to debut, and we inform you that Source Music has taken legal action against the spread of unilateral and distorted allegations and false information related to this case.
Therefore, we sincerely ask you to refrain from speculative reporting based on suspicions that are currently being maliciously raised online.
Furthermore, the allegations that have been raised contain defamation of character against someone who is still a minor before her debut as a celebrity, and we would like to clearly state that we will take legal action without any settlement or leniency.
Thank you.
I really don't know what to think with this one. There have been so many instances where idols have been accused of things like this and it was found to be untrue or truthful. I feel like HYBE would have better background checks that they would be able to spot this and not take her in, but they have made mistakes with that in the past (the intro in Suga's song containing Jim Jones). I'm hoping it's not true because I am really excited for this group.
What are your thoughts? Have you taken a side, and what made you chose that. I kinda just want to hear other opinions and see if there is other information.
(the second article has that innapropriate blackboard photo in case you don't want to see that)
