HYBE firmly defends Kim Ga Ram's "chicken" against accusations of school violence

It happened with a complicated background when she was in her first year of middle school, but Kim Ga Ram herself is looking at herself strangely and deeply reflecting on her immature behavior.

HYBE has released an additional statement, regarding the ongoing rumors of school violence about LE SSERAFIM member Kim Ga Ram. Immediately after the female idol was announced as a member of LE SSERAFIM, this member was caught up in rumors of school violence, Source Music quickly denied.

Earlier this week, Source Music and Kim Ga Ram's alma mater released brief statements in response to new evidence of her acts of school violence. Previously, on May 19, school violence victim Kim Ga Ram made an official statement through her legal representative.

HYBE released an official statement in response to the matter: "Hello. This is HYBE x Source Music. We would like to inform you of the facts and our stance, regarding the allegations. additions regarding LE SSERAFIM member Kim Ga Ram.

First of all, we would like to apologize for causing concern to fans surrounding this allegation. So far, we have limited to giving specific explanations, as well as facts confirmed through our own members and some third-party statements.

We are concerned that the identities and sensitive personal information of minors, including those involved in the incident, as well as the party claiming damages, will be disclosed. However, when misinformation was continuously posted for a long time online as if Kim Garam was the culprit on one side of the blasphemy, and only one side was conveyed the stance.

We would like to correct the allegations so far. Before giving a detailed explanation, the most important takeaway to the allegations regarding the School Violence Commission is as follows:

- Yoo Eun Seo (pseudonym), a client of Daeryun Law Firm, illegally took a photo of a friend changing clothes and shared it with another classmate via SNS. Angered by the above behavior, Kim Ga Ram and her friends got into a fight with Yoo Eun Seo, but there was no physical or emotional violence in the process.

Yoo Eun Seo admitted her wrongdoing, but ultimately did not receive any punishment. Instead, Yoo accused Kim Ga Ram and other friends of being the culprits, reporting them to the School Violence Committee. Yoo then transferred schools before the meeting took place. As a result, Kim Ga Ram and one of her friends were fined.

We would like to explain in detail the issues related to group members as follows:

- Kim Ga Ram was summoned by the School Violence Committee when she was in her first year of middle school (2018) and was punished. However, to understand the full context of the situation, it is necessary to describe the events before and after the incident in detail. In this case, a student who first insulted other students convened a meeting of the Executive Committee and Kim Garam was charged with being a misdemeanor in the process.

- Kim Ga Ram and Yoo Eun Seo were friends for about two months from March to April 2018, the first year of middle school. Kim Ga Ram later found out that Yoo Eun Seo had been bad-mouthing her for a while. course at school, and this led to an argument that lasted almost 3 hours, after which they apologized to each other and resolved the issue.

But after a while, Kim Ga Ram was called out by Yoo Eun Seo and threatened by some of Yoo Eun Seo's close male friends outside the school because of the incident. This event resulted in Kim Ga Ram and Yoo Eun Seo no longer playing together.

Yoo Eun Seo then took a photo of D, Kim Ga Ram's best friend, wearing only her underwear while she was changing clothes at school, and spread this photo via SNS to another friend. As a result, D went into mental shock, and Kim Garam, along with 5 other friends close to D, went to see Yoo Eun Seo on behalf of D to question the wrongdoing.

During this meeting, Kim Ga Ram and friends also cursed Yoo Eun Seo. Yoo Eun Seo admitted wrongdoing, but did not receive any punishment.

Some time later, Yoo Eun Seo convened a meeting of the School Violence Committee about this particular incident, claiming that Kim Ga Ram and her friends bullied her. Thus, the Commission was held with Kim Ga Ram and other friends being treated as the 'assaulter', and Yoo as the 'victim', even though the incident stemmed from Yoo's wrongdoings. for D.

In the lead up to the Committee meeting, Yoo Eun Seo transferred schools before D, the photographed victim, had a chance to ask Yoo to 'force transfer'. In the end, the Committee fined Kim Ga Ram and another friend pointed out by Yoo.

About 1~2 months after transferring to the province, Yoo Eun Seo once again transferred to a school near Kim Ga Ram's school.

- Many of the students involved in the incident, as well as their fellow students, were aware of the details surrounding the specific School Violence Committee meeting that took place in June 2018. Many students recall that Yoo Eun Seo, who also committed a serious wrongdoing, received no punishment for her actions. We would like to emphasize that there are witnesses who can testify to this statement.

- Kim Ga Ram is also a victim of School Violence:

After receiving punishment during the aforementioned School Violence Committee meeting, Kim Ga Ram became the victim of various rumors at school. Kim Garam suffered from unconfirmed rumors during middle school that she "hit a friend with a flowerpot, and was forced to transfer schools".

A teacher even intervened to handle the spread of these rumors and other students were brought in front of Kim Ga Ram to apologize. In addition, some classmates forced Kim Ga Ram and her friends to join the group chat room, mocking or swearing at them.

She was harassed for not reading and not saying anything. If Kim Ga Ram leaves the group chat room, she is invited again. At that time, not only classmates but also some students who did not know Kim Ga Ram, attended another school, joined the group chat room and spoke abusive language to Kim Ga Ram and her friends. that.

Unable to stand this bullying, Kim Ga Ram and her friends even asked for help from the school teacher.

- Kim Ga Ram has suffered from false and malicious rumors so far. In the days before her debut, Kim Ga Ram was subjected to countless false rumors."
