Former LE SSERAFIM Member Kim Garam Shares Update on Instagram, Fans React

Former LE SSERAFIM member Kim Garam has caught the attention of fans with her recent Instagram update.

Kim Garam recently posted a photo on her Instagram with the caption, "Wishing for only luck in 2026."

In the photo, Kim Garam is seen in a warm wood-toned setting, wearing a white turtleneck and gazing into the camera. Her long, flowing black hair, smooth skin, and minimal makeup create a neat and pure impression. In a closer shot, her sharp eyes and gentle expression stand out, capturing attention with her serene yet striking visuals. Fans commented, "So beautiful," "I've missed you," and "You've become even prettier."

Kim Garam made a glamorous debut with LE SSERAFIM in 2022, but soon faced allegations of school bullying from her middle school days, leading to intense criticism. Her agency, Source Music, initially denied the allegations and proceeded with her debut.

However, as it was revealed that Kim Garam received a level 5 disciplinary action from the school violence committee, the controversy intensified. She halted her activities just 19 days after debuting and left the group in July of the same year following the termination of her contract. After her departure, Kim Garam clarified through a friend's social media that she had never hit or bullied anyone and had not engaged in drinking or smoking, describing herself as a typical student.

Currently, Kim Garam is reportedly studying media acting at Konkuk University and has been sharing glimpses of her life on her personal social media since May last year. In June, there were reports of her discussing an exclusive contract with the new agency Modenberry Korea, but the agency denied these claims. Kim Garam has previously expressed her fear of criticism but also her desire to share her side of the story if given the chance, keeping public interest in her future endeavors alive.
