Article: "I think Kim Garam is going to leave after this promotion"
Source: Pann
Honestly, Le Sserafim's image has been ruined forever because of Garam. There will be even more talk in the future so I don't think the company will just keep accepting it. It'd be nice to know public opinion might change someday but there's no evidence right now so fans are shielding her. It's only a matter of time until she gets kicked. It's not just the bullying either, her past is quite disgusting too. There are a lot of problematic idols in the industry already but she's the first idol this problematic pre-debut.
- [+445, -2] If Garam was carrying the group they'd be ruined but she isn't even popular ㅋㅋㅋ
- [+365, -19] Most definitely not ㅋㅋㅋ. HYBE put out six angel wings in their global promotions and pushed her as a center despite her scandals. There's no way they'd kick her out now.
- [+268, -15] If they really wanted to remove her, they would have kicked her before debut.
- [+140, -0] Even after her bullying scandal she's going around acting like she did nothing wrong ㅋㅋ . She's washing her image to this level like we're not aware of her true character and how she abused victims. I got goosebumps seeing her acting shy and pure at their debut showcase.
- [+63, -3] Even with all the uproar over her scandals she's still doing well ㅋㅋㅋ f*ck
- [+47, -6] Absolutely not.. they would've taken her out already if that's the case. The fact that they let her debut means they 100% plan to keep her in the group in the future.
- [+45, -0] I thought she'd be brimming with talents since HYBE chose to debut her even after her scandals.. but she's actually quite talentless and her stage presence is really weak compared to the other members. The group would've been more popular if they had just promoted as 5.
- [+42, -6] Then shouldn't HYBE have kicked her out right away after seeing public reaction to her scandals? Instead they debuted her and made her a center. HYBE is a shitty company with zero morals and they don't like taking losses.
- [+32, -2] There are rumors Garam is dating some kid named Sang-won that'll be debuting in Big Hit's new boy group.
- [+28, -9] Probability of Garam leaving Le Sserafim = probability of Hyun-jin leaving Stray Kids ㅋ
- [+27, -0] HYBE is quite a stupid company. They probably saw Garam become a hot topic because of the bullying scandal and just used that to media play the group.
