Why Is Kim Garam KPOP Leaving Le Sserafim?
Kpop star Kim Garam is leaving the girl group Le Sserafim after a few months of her debut. A controversy surrounding her emerged online after few weeks after her first public appearance.
Two months ago, Garam’s past actions were made publicized. She was accused of bullying classmates when she was in middle school. However, some sources later said that she was the victim of cyberbullying, and the allegation was wrong.
However, a post on the internet purportedly from the middle school named Kim Garam as the perpetrator of acts of school violence. The victim shared her story through a law firm.
According to the law firm, from the end of April to the beginning of May 2018, Kim Garam and her pals assaulted the victim at school. Within one to two weeks of the incident, she transferred to another school because she could no longer stand the ongoing bullying.
Additionally, Kim received six hours of special instruction on June 4, 2018, in compliance with the “Act on the Prevention of and Countermeasures Against Violence in Schools,” while the victim also received therapy.
The victim faced threats and derision from online users after sharing her experience. The sufferer tried to commit suicide and left school. She merely wanted an apology and a correction of their claims from Kim and her agency.
