Garam Kim, who ‘withdrew from Le Seraphim’, is in a bright situation

The current status of former Le Seraphim member Garam Kim, who left the group due to the school violence controversy, has been reported.

The tvN entertainment show 'Freehan Doctor', which aired on the 15th, revisited the controversy over school violence in the entertainment industry.

Garam Kim was pointed out as a perpetrator of school violence one day after the release of Le Seraphim's debut teaser in April last year, sparking controversy. The main story was that Garam Kim bullied his classmates in middle school.

There were claims that Garam Kim suffered psychological harm by hanging out with a group of people in middle school and using abusive language and public sniping on social media. In addition, the controversy intensified as it became known that Kim Garam had received 'No. 5 disposition' from the School Violence Committee in the past.

Accordingly, he halted his activities at the time of his debut album 'Fearless' and terminated his exclusive contract with his agency three months after his debut. 21 days after his expulsion, Garam Kim said, "I have never hit anyone or inflicted violence on anyone. I have never been forced to transfer schools, and I have never drank or smoked. I have never bullied or bullied anyone. I was just a normal student." He said he does not regret his actions at that time.

Garam Kim is currently enrolled in the Department of Theater and Film at Seoul Performing Arts High School. ‘Free Doctor’ side announced, “After leaving Le Seraphim, Garam Kim returned to his duties as a student.” In the released video, Garam Kim is wearing a school uniform and a mask, but looks bright. The photo in question was spread through an online community in November last year.
