LE SSERAFIM Kim Ga Ram, who was caught up in allegations of school violence, will temporarily suspend her activities.

On the 20th, HYBE and Source Music announced their position on the suspicion of school violence against LE SSERAFIM Kim Ga Ram through an official press release.

The agency said, "As if Kim Ga Ram was a one-sided perpetrator of school violence involving physical violence over a long period of time on social media and in some communities, distorted claims are constantly being raised, and only one side's position is conveyed, so the suspicions that have been raised thus far have been resolved. We want to correct it".

Next, Kim Ga Ram said that she was referred to the "School Violence Committee" after protesting about the unfairness that her friend suffered.

The agency explained, "Kim Ga Ram became a victim of school violence such as cyberbullying after being disposed of in the first year of middle school, but since then has been steadily working towards her dream and future".

"During the debut process, she was attacked by all kinds of rumors, and because of this, she have suffered psychologically", the agency said.

Previously, Kim Ga Ram had been embroiled in allegations of school violence since last April, before her debut as LE SSERAFIM.

After the personal teaser photo of Kim Ga Ram was released, articles claiming that Kim Ga Ram was the perpetrator of school violence were posted one after another on various social media and online communities.

According to the agency's claim, until recently, Kim Ga Ram suffered from rumors such as "I went to school forcibly", "She hit a friend's head with a flowerpot", and "She used to drink and smoke".

The agency added, "Until Kim Ga Ram recovers and returns, LE SSERAFIM plans to work as a five-member system for the time being".

Finally, the agency apologized for the delay, saying, "It happened in a complicated background when she was in the first year of middle school, but Kim Ga Ram herself is looking back on her immature behavior and is deeply reflecting. We ask for your generous understanding".

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
