Against all criticisms, Source Music and by extension HYBE Labels, still allowed Garam to debut, which led to a wave of opposition directed at LE SSERAFIM. Some fans of famous members like Sakura, Chaewon, and Yunjin, were also vehemently against Garam, to the point that there have been rumors that Garam will be kicked out of LE SSERAFIM as soon as the debut promotions are over.
