Kim Garam’s friend says the alleged victim lied and accuses HYBE/Source Music of noise marketing 

Kim Garam’s friend spoke up in her defense after she was permanently kicked out of LE SSERAFIM. 

After Kim Garam was confirmed to permanently leave HYBE and LE SSERAFIM due to her school bullying controversy, Kim Garam’s friend revealed that the whole incident was unfair to the female idol.

On July 21, via personal Instagram, Kim Garam’s friend A said, “I think many people are making fun of this, so I posted the true story here. First, Yoo Eun Seo (t/n: Kim Garam accuser) bullied me from elementary school to middle school. She cursed my parents and even threatened me with physical violence. But this is not the point of the matter, so I won’t go into details. It just makes me wonder, what did I do wrong? I was a victim of bullying but is branded as a secondary perpetrator. Meanwhile, the actual bully lies and disguises herself as a victim.”

A affirmed, “Yoo Eun Seo lied. It’s not true that she transferred schools because of Garam. She once posted a picture of a classmate (Garam’s friend) wearing underwear while changing on another friend’s account. She transferred schools after that. At the time, she received a Level 6 punishment. Everything she said about herself and the evidence were fabricated.”

A added, “I was also threatened with a complaint by Yoo Eun Seo’s friend back in April. As a friend, I helped Garam by submitting all the evidence I had and collecting stories from other friends.”

A added, “However, in the end, the adults (the management company) didn’t use any of the evidence I provided. I’m heartbroken because they used an 18-year-old high school girl to media play. I will be posting more about this in the future.”

After debuting, Kim Garam was discovered to have a 5th-level punishment for group-threatening Yoo Eun Seo for taking pictures of a girl in Kim Garam’s group of friends without her permission. Yoo Eun Seo requested to convene the School Violence Committee to denounce Kim Garam and her friends. She also later appointed a lawyer in her legal battle with Kim Garam and HYBE. It is not clear how the case progressed, but it is clear that the company could not win it, so Kim Garam was forced to leave the group.

HYBE/Source Music recently announced the termination of the contract with Kim Garam and removed all her image and information in related aspects.
