- [+1,622, -17] Honestly why..? It's not like she's a top visual like Irene or Jang Won-young nor is she that memorable in the group.. so why the hell????? I'm seriously curious.
- [+1,566, -4] Is that Kim Garam's father's company?
- [+936, -30] They knew no one would care about this issue because they'd be more interested is someone's dating history.
- [+522, -1] We'll have to boycott 5-member Le Sserafim so that they can make up their minds
- [+360, -0] If Garam continues to promote with Le Sserafim, they'll never get scouted for CFs
- [+337, -0] It's quite suspicious that they're deliberately not explaining the rumors about V dating. They're using that to turn the attention away from Garam so now the controversy is getting bigger. We see a lot of this in dramas and movies. Before V's dating rumors broke out, Garam's school bullying was all over the news everywhere and SNS but once the dating rumors came out its crickets? So they're just planning on covering up her scandal with another scandal? Once Garam is put back in the group, I bet V's scandal will suspiciously go quiet too..
- [+323, -0] This is a serious societal issue.. a bully kid like her wouldn't even be able to get a job at a regular company or store but she got scouted to be a trainee and debuted as a celebrity loved by the public...?
- [+311, -0] They're 100% looking after each other..
- [+208, -2] An article even came out that HYBE was trying to settle with the victim. The victim's parents need to carefully think about this. If you agree to settle for money, your child will resent you forever for letting her abuser go free. No matter how much money you can get out of it, don't settle and present your position truthfully. Once you agree to settle, it's game over.
- [+197, -0] Has HYBE lost their minds? Why the hell are they working so hard to hold onto her? She's ruining the image of the company and her group. Everyone is asking to kick her out and they're trying to settle?
- [+154, -5] BTS needs to boycott this agency
- [+142, -5] I'm honestly questioning the source of the dating rumors now..
- [+83, -0] I thought it was just noise marketing, but what the hell is this?? Is Kim garam Bang Si-hyuk's hidden daughter??
- [+73, -0] I have a feeling we'll be seeing more victim testimony explode within this week..
