As Kim Garam, a former member of LE SSERAFIM, was expelled due to controversy over school violence, the agency began to erase traces.

On the official website of LE SSERAFIM, the member introduction has been changed as of July 20th. Source Music, a subsidiary of HYBE, LE SSERAFIM's agency, introduced, "LE SSERAFIM as a girl group composed of 5 multinational members: Sakura, Kim Chaewon, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae".

LE SSERAFIM, who debuted as a six-member group including Kim Garam, changed the team introduction with the termination of the exclusive contract in mind.

Changes were also made to some portal site profiles. It introduces LE SSERAFIM, a member of the five-member group, where Kim Garam left the group. One portal site also stated that LE SSERAFIM's career was "withdrawal as member Kim Garam". Kim Garam also changed her profile to a "singer" rather than a member of LE SSERAFIM.

Profiles of other portal sites will be changed after self-examination. When an agency or a celebrity requests a profile application, it usually takes 5 to 7 days.

On July 20th, HYBE announced the termination of Kim Garam's exclusive contract. The agency said, "We have decided to terminate the exclusive contract with Kim Garam. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to fans and many others due to the related controversy".

This is the aftermath of allegations of sexual assault surrounding Kim Garam.

The allegation of school violence surrounding Kim Garam started in April when the online community revealed about her.

The agency refuted the allegations as “false facts”, but a new phase took place when victim A appointed a legal representative and took an official response.

Due to this, LE SSERAFIM continued their activities as a five-member group except for Kim Garam.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
