The dispute between Kim Garam and the alleged victim from the beginning to the sentencing was revealed through the self-governing committee draft that was released. The public is even more cynical about the former LE SSERAFIM member?
Recently, the public was again shocked by the appearance of Kim Garam regarding the bullying case that ensnared him. The former member of LE SSERAFIM uploaded a draft of the Self-Governing Committee on school violence up to level 5 punishment.
In the draft, the chronology of the fight between Kim Garam and the alleged victim (YES) was revealed. The beginning of the dispute was because their originally friendly friendship deteriorated.
There is one section that says YES stole Friend 1's Facebook account and took a photo of Friend 3 in only underwear. Intending to defend his friend, Kim Garam contacted YES and eventually the dispute escalated. After a lengthy dispute, YES admitted that he was wrong and changed schools.
The appearance of a draft that seems to be in favor of Kim Garam has received attention from Korean netizens. Is it true that the public is even more cynical about Kim Garam after other facts about this matter are revealed?
"But in the end, he still got hit with a level 5 punishment. But now he wants to claim everything is wrong YES right?" said one netizen. "But does the other party also share the same facts with him? People have a tendency to reduce their mistakes and add more to others," said another netizen.
On the other hand, netizens considered that the problems of Kim Garam and YES proved that they were an iljin gang. They thought that ordinary students would not get into trouble like Kim Garam and YES. So that the assessment of Kim Garam is even more skewed because he is considered not to be introspective on his mistakes.
"They were just fighting amongst themselves, how did the whole incident make you a 'normal student'?" a netizen commented. "A normal student wouldn't even get involved in things like he did," continued another netizen.
"But why is he revealing this now after being released? Does he want to be a celebrity again?" another netizen said. "Still seeing this... this is not the past you want to have if you want to debut," added another. "Oh ... so he is a thug. Please don't appear again," added another.
Meanwhile, Kim Garam was first introduced as a member of LE SSERAFIM. Shortly after the teaser was released, rumors of bullying emerged that continued until the group officially debuted. After being declared on hiatus due to an unfavorable situation, Kim Garam finally left the group last July. (wk/inta)
