The lawyer stated that the results of a separate investigation circulating online regarding the allegations were true and that Kim Garam had indeed bullied his client while at school.
The alleged victim of bullying, Kim Garam LE SSERAFIM, spoke about the allegations through his attorney. Using the pseudonym Yoo Eunseo, he stated that it was true that he had been bullied by Kim Garam and had been traumatized until now.
Yoo Eunseo's lawyer also stated that the results of a separate investigation circulating online regarding the allegations were true and that Kim Garam had indeed bullied him while at school.
"The victim was a victim of school violence from Kim Garam and his friends from late April to early May 2018. He was transferred to a new school one to two weeks after the incident, because he could not withstand the continuous group violence," said the alleged victim's attorney.
It was stated that on June 4, 2018, the Committee to Combat School Violence was held and Kim Garam, as a student who committed violence at school. Garam was sentenced to six hours of special education in accordance with Article 17-1-5 of the Law on the Prevention and Combating of Violence in Schools.
"His parents (Kim Garam) received five hours of special education in accordance with paragraph nine of the same article. Yoo Eunseo, a victim of school violence, received psychological counseling and advice in accordance with Article 16-1-1 of the same act," continued the attorney. .
It is said that Yoo Eunseo voluntarily changed schools because she couldn't stand the continuous bullying, but she suffered from malicious rumors such as, "Yoo Eunseo was wrong, that's why she was forced to transfer."
Yoo Eunseo got even worse online harassment after HYBE stated Kim Garam was the victim and not the perpetrator. In addition, many accused him of writing the post out of jealousy, even going so far as to upload real-life photos and tell him to get ready for digging his own grave.
Then a post was made on Nate Pann that exposed Kim Garam, and it noted that Kim Garam was famous for his bad attitude which was also known by the people in the school around him, and if there were students he didn't like, he would gather other students to attack and curse students. it together.
"The person who made the post was also a victim of bullying at school, that's what the post meant. Including the upload just mentioned, several posts have been uploaded that mention Kim Garam as the perpetrator of school violence," explained Yoo Eunseo's attorney.
Maybe it's because Yoo Eunseo is a victim of Kim Garam, so there are comments that Eunseo made the post revealing Kim Garam as the perpetrator. However, Yoo Eunseo received a message through her social media account saying that she maliciously slandered the idol or that she was an Orc who was only jealous of beautiful girls.
"More comments like 'his face has been fixed, but he's still ugly,' 'he slandered because he's jealous,' were also received. But even worse, some messages and posts even shared a photo of Yoo Eunseo, blurred out and threatened her with the message, 'Thank you. Thank you for taking care of the mosaic. If you are stalking LE SSERAFIM, you better prepare your grave," said his lawyer.
It was also mentioned that Yoo Eunseo experienced extreme anxiety and fear at the thought that someone might have the original photo. He is also afraid of receiving threats, and will spread his photos through the internet to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
"He even suffers from panic attacks from time to time, where he finds it difficult to breathe because he feels like his heart is going to explode," said Yoo Eunseo's attorney. (wk/chus)
