The current situation of former member Kim Garam, who was expelled from the girl group Le Sserafim due to allegations of school violence, was reported.

On August 1st, a photo under the title "Kim Garam's current situation" spread through various online communities. This is a picture of a desk full of profanity graffiti written on the desk with the name Kim Garam on it.

It is presumed that the photo was taken by a student attending the same school as high school student Kim Garam. However, the authenticity of the photo has not been confirmed.

If the circumstances in the photo are true, it seems that Kim Garam is currently experiencing verbal abuse or bullying.

Netizens who saw this gave various reactions. While there were some opinions that it was “self-improving”, the majority criticized it as wrong behavior. It is unjust for even the perpetrators of sexual assault to be retaliated against in a similar way, and violence cannot be justified for any reason. Some worried that “it would be better to quit school and take the GED than this.”

Previously, Source Music, the agency of Le Sserafim, announced on the 20th of July the termination of their exclusive contract with Kim Garam. It was interpreted that the agency, which had completely denied the allegations related to Kim Garam, actually admitted the allegation of sexual assault.

The claim that Kim Garam was the perpetrator of the school violence came out even before Le Sserafim debuted on May 2. HYBE said that the allegation was not true and foreshadowed legal action.

However, as the suspicions continued to spread after that, Kim Garam stopped activities after 18 days of debut, and left the team two months after that.

In the future,Le Sserafim will be active in a five-member system. HYBE said, "We will do our best to support Le Sserafim so that they can continue to grow as an artist."

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
