Le Sserafim's Kim Garam is preparing to refute alleged school violence.

On the 19th, Source Music released a statement writing, "Hello, this is HYBE/Source. Today (5/19), Daeryun Law Firm (hereinafter "Daeryun") released to the media the victim's position on Le Sserafim's Garam alleged assault and bullying. First of all, it's regrettable that Daeryun unilaterally announced their position to a large number of media despite the fact that a lot of minors are involved in the current controversial issue with Kim Garam. Daeryun summarized and announced some of the issues that occurred in 2018 to their favor so we will summarize and announce our position in the near future. Therefore, we urge all journalists to refrain from reporting based on one side's one-sided claims only."

"We would like to once again say this controversy started when false information about a member who as about to debut circulated. We judged the information disseminated as malicious and immediately took legal action. This procedure is still in progress."

"Although our artist was a target of malicious attacks from those hiding behind anonymity online, the reason we didn't' actively explain is because many of her peers involved are from first year of middle school and minors. That's why we approached it with caution."

"However, the facts of this case from 2018 are currently being communicated only through one-sided positions. We will clarify our position as soon as we complete our review of Daeryun's claims."

Meanwhile, victim A revealed she attempted suicide due to Kim Garam's bullying, fake rumors, and HYBE's threats for lawsuits despite asking the company to retract the false facts. 

1. [+768, -3] HYBE seems quite upset
2. [+684, -2] Let's go all out and expose the perpetrator's full texts and DMs
3. [+610, -1] Wow ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋAre they crazy? One sided statements? How exactly was that a one-sided announcement ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ?
4. [+334, -1] Isn't it game over? A case was opened with the school violence committee and she was punished under Article 17, Paragraph 1, No. 5? So they're planning on bullying a minor thrice under the backs of their huge legal team and inflict more pain to the victim until the end? 
5. [+297, -1] No, even if she is Bang Si-hyuk's daughter, do they seriously expect us to believe this? This is so cheap of them... is this a comedy.?
6. [+292, -1] A 2nd year high-schooler was bullied to the point they wanted to die and attempted suicide. They even reported it but the large agency filed a complaint against them to protect an iljin '05 liner, are they serious right now ㅋㅋ
7. [+280, -1] No.. this is even more disgusting of themㅋㅋㅋㅋ. Is Garam the only minor here? The victim is a minor tooㅋㅋㅋ f*ck...and what? Just because you made some money with BTS you think you can do whatever you want?? Do you think you can cover the sky with your hands? 
8. [+264, -0] This idiot company is crazy.. they've lost it..  f*ck
9. [+234, -1] The victim had to transfer schools in less than a week or two after Garam bullied her and even attempted suicide.. this is the same kid you're trying to bury right now.. do you want her to die? Is that what you should be doing right now? Do you think it's ok her parents have to live scared their child might try to kill herself with suicide?? F*ck.. I seriously have no words. This is the craziest idol bully scandal in history!!
10. [+188, -0] Are you even aware of the school violence committee's results? They judged that things wouldn't get better unless the perpetrator Garam took special education under Article 17, No. 5. Even her parents were asked to take classes because if you don't raise your kids right, this is what happens. That's why parental education is a must. It's seriously amazing that even after all this, you're claiming she was a "victim" of malicious attacks. 
11. [+170, -1] Why are you trying to hold onto her? Seriously... why? The victim is a minor too. The allegations against her seem to be real, why is she still actively promoting? No one has come out in her defense either so what do you expect us to do? Trust in your words?? No matter how hard you look at it.. this isn't it.
12. [+159, -0] What? So now its some school violence that happened when they were first years in middle school? Isn't this threatening the victim twice?
13. [+109, -0] BTS, please leave and set up your own company.
14. [+106, -0] Looks like they're falling apart already with this revised position.
15. [+80, -0] The victim isn't just claiming she's bullied, there's even a record that was clearly investigated and a sentence given out... why are you still reiterating its false factsㅋㅋㅋ ? 
16. [+74, -0] Never knew there's an agency that's more of a thug and bully than Kwangsoo's companyㅋㅋ
