Enough with the revisionist history. Kookilit was part of the hate train that got Garam kicked out. Look at their old videos. They complained about Hybe keeping her and not responding to the allegations in a timely manner. They accused them of what SM does and wait the scandal out. They would even post comments by netizens saying "why is Hybe keeping her?" "Hybe needs to kick her out!" "why did Hybe keep her as the center?" They changed their tune after it was proven that the accusations were false. This page is so shameless it's not even funny.

Absolutely right.! People easily judged her because of something she did in the past and wasn't even confirmed, just based on an accusation she had to leave her group for which she might have trained really hard . But people tend to easily forget about the hardwork and just boycott a group just on a accusation. They really need to change their mindset towards idols.

[@AP-fi2di]

@@pulkitsingh709 TBH bringing back those idols will be the best choice to make a change in this industry. Sadly fans are not united for GARAM plus it's been more than 2 years already. So it's kinda impossible for this. If any idols can come back to clear their name, and make those judgmental minds ashamed of their own words, only then this industry can change. Otherwise there will be more idols facing the same injustice and walk away swallowing up their public humiliation. Just like ONEUS Ravn, RIIZE Seughan, LE SSERAFIM Garam, AOA Jimin, (G)I-DLE Soojin, and many more will be in this list of leaving their group for unfair hates in the future.

[@lee_27_nam]

The Koreans you see are only few paid underage girls or +30 years old unemployed boys (wich they get paid by competitors companies to tarnish reputation of competitors idols) they do not represent the general public.

😂 HYBE themselves were not insulting anyone, they simply put together a report detailing both negative and positive comments made by OTHERS, including fans, antis and media, to guage audience reactions to various Kpop groups, music style etc it was simply MARKET RESEARCH, such as ALL companies undertake. They also collated the same for all HYBE groups, this is how companies work out, when legal action needs to be taken to protect their artists or media releases need to be made. This is how they collected the information against the person spreading the rumours about Taehyung & Jungkook, , they liked the creators instagram page to be able to access the articles (hacking is ILLEGAL and items obtained in a crime can not be used as evidence) AND collect the evidence required to take legal action. The creator of the account that spread the information has received a 4 year prison term, thanks to HYBES legal Team.

[@msfsk2002]

woa woa wao!!!! it seems people literally forgot everything happened especially netizens and trynna play the good guy card Lemme tell you, both Hybe and Netizens have equal share of responsibilities in what happened to Garam. Let her be a perpetrator or a victim. Maybe both. She could have been a bully to her classmates and being bullied by netizens. When HYBE tried to deny the accusation and clear her name, didn't y'all do a whole witch hunt to ruin Garam from continuing her career. I CLEARLY REMEMBER THE SCRUTINY SHE FACED. I clearly remember how every media outlet bullied a literal minor, a literal teenager, a literal 16 years old. I REMEMBER ALL THE HASHTAGS THAT WERE TRENDED IN TWITTER/X URGING TO KICK GARAM OUT OF THE GROUP.And ofc I REMEMBER HOW Y'ALL DIDN'T HESITATE TO SPREAD THE RUMOURS OF HER USING HER FAMILY INFLUENCE AND CONNECTIONS TO CONTINUE WITH THE GROUP, when HYBE didn't kick her out quicker, all while her accusations were still not confirmed. I also clearly remember all the troll posts, reels and shorts that celebrated her departure. I remember very vividly how y'all made sure she will never stand a chance to tell her side of the story. DON'T TRY YOUR GOOD GUY PERSONA IN FRONT OF ME. I DON'T SUPPORT BULLYING, BUT SHE WAS ONLY 16 YEARS OLD, AND YOU NEVER LET HER TELL HER SIDE OF THE STORY. YOU NEVER EVEN WANTED TO KNOW THE OVERALL STORY. ALL YOU NEEDED WAS ONE ANONYMOUS ACCUSATION POST DON'T Y'ALL EVER MAKE MISTAKES? DON'T Y'ALL EVER TRIED TO MAKE UP FOR YOUR PAST MISTAKES Y'ALL DIDN'T EVEN GIVE HER A CHANCE TO REFLECT ON HERSELF, IF SHE WAS EVER IN THE WRONG HYPOCRITES!!!! UPDATE: OKAY, If y'all gonna be like "it's because we didn't know the full situation, HYBE didn't represent her well, they only watched till it get more and more attention for marketing purposes", THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I SAID BOTH HYBE AND NETIZENS HAVE EQUAL SHARE OF RESPONSIBILITIES Hybe didn't represent her well and Y'all didn't wait till the accusations get proof-check, y'all were too quick to jump in to conclusions. Y'all were so excited to go on a witch hunt against a 16-years old as if you were waiting for something like that to happen. OFC NOT TO FORGET THE RUMOUR OF HER USING FAMILY CONNECTIONS TO STAY IN THE GROUP WHEN HYBE WERE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF CLEARING HER NAME AND PROOF-CHECKING THE ACCUSATIONS. You would advocate about Artists mental health on one side and then on the other side you would be the same one to criticize and cyberbully the artists on the first given chance regardless of the validity of accusations THERE'S NOTHING TO BE PROUD ABOUT BEING A CYBERBULLY FEARNOTS WERE NOT THE ONLY NETIZENS HERE I REMEMBER EVEN NON-FANS WERE HATING ON GARAM. TBH FEARNOTS WERE THE LAST PEOPLE TO GO ON A WITCH HUNT AGAINST GARAM because it affected the overall image of the group

[@LUN4321]

[@multistan9582]

I remember when Hybe spoke up for her and was accused of facilitating a bully...so LSF just 2 weeks being newly debuts and with all the hate Garam was receiving made sense at the time to cancel her contract...Knets would never let her breathe in peace even when the allegations turned out to be not true...

[@ericelestineyorfrylle1525]

I'm so proud of myself that I never made a single hate comment about bullying since 2nd Gen. Today's social media is so Ruthless that they would write anything without knowing the whole story

[@Nattbad]

What is even worse is that she was 12 at the time it happened. Like, there is a reason why the age of criminal responsibility is higher than 12 in most countries. Even if she was in the wrong (which imo she was absolutely not), she was still just a kid. It's idiotic trying to hold her accountable for something she likely would have already outgrown at that point. Either way, when someone is posting unconsensual pics of minors in their underwear, I think it's totally justified to confront them and curse them out(which is what she was punished for). In my book, the one posting the pics is the real bully, but everyone on the internet just went on a witch hunt for Garam instead. I guess netizens just really enjoy being self-righteous and reactionary. Hopefully karma catches up with them one day.

The accusations were proven to be false. But HYBE has done nothing about it and terminated her contract anyway.

It is true, but at the same time - there was NO proof of her being innocent until she showed a school document. And there was a fake info, that level 5 mean it was really extreme bullying from her site. And HYBE failed to shut this all down and present undisputed proof of her innocence. So yes, it's mostly HYBE's fault... They threw talented, hard-working teenager under the bus. Honestly if Garam will be able to have a successful career and money for a good lawyer she should sue Hybe. Poor girl...

I’m as much of a HYBE hater as the next person, and I don’t even know what to think about this new “document”, but let’s get one thing straight; HYBE/SoMu fought TOOTH AND NAIL to keep Garam in the group, but you know what y’all said at that time? “Oh her parents must never paying a lot of money” “of course they’re defending a bully” “I wonder kinds of things she did to get this treatment” and other dirty comments. Netizens idiocracy was the main reason we lost Kim Garam, one of the best vocalists of lesserafim and an idol with amazing star power. Also before people start yelling at me about how she was only in the group for 2 weeks, that should be a testament for how much she captured so many people in such a short promotional period. Wishing her all the best for her future.

[@SBBunny93]

You can blame the company if you want but who really ended her career was the fans. YES HYBE didn’t have to terminate her contract and could have done more to help her situation, but the fans literally gave them no choice because it was so much he said she said and mostly negative. Fans LOVE to blame the companies for mismanagement/mistreatment or “not protecting” the idols but in the same breath choose a side (often the wrong one) with no substantial evidence to support the claims and throw hateful messages and comments threatening boycotts. Fans are so delusional more often than not they don’t see how they contribute to the toxic environment and enable it more than anyone else in the kpop industry. I am not defending HYBE because they are garbage and truly only in it for the money but it’s like how can you be mad at HYBE when more than 70% of kpop fans bashed her daily asking for her dismissal when this was going down in real time. Like KPOP is getting WEIRD. Hopefully this is a lesson to some.

[@S3irtin]

While I agree with your comment , kpop has always been weird , it’s not getting more weird because things like this have happened , I mean just look into past scandals and drama .

Hybe use garam to beat İve from starship and to get famous too...but failed

[@tryandrian93]

I miss Kim Garam honestly

[@BillyWhaler]

Why didn’t Garam’s parents and Hybe sort out the “level 5” photo/bullying situation sooner? How is the Korean background check so shitty in such a public industry where eye rolls get you canceled?

[@peachymina3747]

The thing is I tried saying the information about her friend getting exposed like that and the alleged victim "Eunseo" was the bully who posted that picture of Garam's friend. I said Garam defended her friend and it turned out to be even more true when she showed the documents. No one considered the fact that "Eunseo" left school to avoid punishment and Garam was the only one who faced punishment. Garam was level 5, and Eunseo was level 8. Let that sink in for all of y'all. Like I said it so many times and I saw it coming knowing what little info we had. And all the pictures were alleged. Ofc it's not enough but it was enough to show she was a loyal friend and that the alleged victim was a liar. I don't know why none of y'all bothered to listen or research and it sucks that society is like this. They either listen to the majority vote and what they wanna hear things that suit their morals. It makes no sense why nobody cared to research things, they only wanna complain without context. At the end of the day, we are all human, including idols. And we have dark pasts, companies do a background check I'm sure which is why they accepted her. It's really the company's fault because Garam had the info to back it up and asked the company to release it but they didn't. We all make mistakes and HYBE really only do what they want for fame. It's a business after all and the group gets the hate for it. We can't change history as it will continue to repeat itself over and over again. So we all need to learn how to be patient and not judge a situation. We need the whole story after all. My grammar is terrible I know, just care with me. I don't really comment on things anymore but I am tired of all the drama. I'm too overworked to care but I do still have an opinion. We all have lives and shouldn't care about idols' lives in the past cuz people can change so much in two years. Like you can be so nice and then completely change and be so mean. So at the end of the day, it's better to keep to ourselves because we don't know them personally and it's not our problem. It's all drama until other people make it a problem. So remember what you say affects people. I'm just tired of all this K-pop bs and the majority of us are adults now who shouldn't care about idols' lives. P.S. I won't reply to anyone cuz I have homework and am tired, if y'all have anything to say just say it. It will not be held against you to speak your mind as long as you are respectful. If I said something offensive I will apologize in advance as like I said, I am too tired to reply or even edit this message. Please just be respectful to each other.

Why don't netizen call out 'HYBE'?

[@lee_27_nam]

They did and still do

[@bluedrakken]

@@lee_27_nam netizen yes, knetizen no

[@darkneko666]

The thing is HYBE is a company and had to think about the group because the public negatively wouldn't have let up and given how the kpop stans are acting now they would have done even more. I always been the type to wait for the full story which is why I hate on Garam, also the leak about other goups is something all companies do its research and a lot of the leak was edited. But im glad Garam is doing fine and wish for her to try again

[@xEPICxNESS]

They botched that investigation. I’ll admit, I believed the allegations at first because they simply couldn’t represent her well. It’s important not to leave hate because you could be wrong

[@whereisjustice5112]

Lucky she's didn't in HYBE now.

[@ClaireMesmain]

I don't follow this scandal much, I might be wrong. But I'm VERY disappointed that they hate on the idols for "copying". It's not their choice, in this industry, we have no idea what they're forced and not forced to do.

[@bluedrakken]

hybe doing it on purpose to generate hate between groups and stanz so they can play the victim card. kstanz are crazy and will blame the idols over the company.

[@ClaireMesmain]

@bluedrakken Fr but it's not only with hybe

[@143FEARNOT]

i literally called it. the day they kicked her out of the group, i kept saying they did that cause they want le sserafim to become more popular than the other groups and that's why hybe didnt properly defend her.

[@KLASICK.]

Between the entitled fans and the record labels impossible standards I see now why some idols harm themselves under the pressure to be "perfect" she was really used by the industry and the fans played into it with outrage over a person they didn't even know

[@uranium_xx]

Geez calm down, there was barely any people who trys to protect her bc more and more people hated him only until garam left the group people actually felt bad

[@Pearls_21]

Hope she became successful more than LS as it will be a slap to Hybe later. No hate to LS.

[@JayDoeHOI4]

For a kid that young, she has a strong sense of justice that is admirable in anyone. Strange how this melodramatic world has so much saviour syndrome when it comes to bullies solely because the bully happened to be a kid, but then yall won't perpetuate the same logic for the girl that called out the bully that is also kid... That company should pay back that girl for taking her time man. Hybe is a company full of muppets man... And I'm not talking about the idols...This company by not providing the truth earlier, did irrepairable damage to that girl's reputation and relationships... HYBE will build a brand of of being "fearless", and then this muppet company will backpeddle and won't allow you to be "fearless" against bullies. Bruv...🤨ok man...

[@morningcoffee4522]

Hybe is truly vile. Disgusting behavior

[@WorktimefunKD]

Dont know if its true but garam fans say that hype wanted to make sakura n chayoung to be the centre but since the pre debut photo released garam got more recognition so hybe didn't wanted that

[@sunshinepty]

And people and different KZbin accounts still insist in defending Hybe and attacking NJ, I don't like the woman who represent them but i always felt that there was a lot more to this story, because i had lost trust in Bang and Hybe a long time ago, before all this mess. SMH the music industry is like a horror movie in real life, music is not seen as before neither the artist, Garam i hope she don't feel bad, the universe was on her side.

hybe loves playing the victim card with all their artist even bts if you look back at the comments. so when NJ calls them out the stanz think NJ is bully the hybe which likes to hide behind the shield called victim.

But you are the one who bullied her though...

[@Hysterva]

IT WAS ALL HYBE’S FAULT

[@MyHandle4455]

Why are people so surprised by what Hybe has said or the way these companies treat their artists? When you realize that these companies see these artists not as people but as products, pieces of meat that can be switched out any time for any imperfection whatsoever (pre launch), it all makes sense. We've seen so many examples of this behavior. (If you really cared for someone as a human being, you really think you could take them out in the middle of dance practice and tell them they've been kicked out of the group? Or tell a Shaman that one of your trainees looks like she's possessed? Or in the reality show sixteen the manager remarking how fat Jihyo looks right within earshot of her) After launch they do their best to beat you down mentally to keep you humble so you're easier to control and manipulate and to make you feel you could not be successful without them. The company is not interested in protecting them as people but just protecting their investment, and when it benefits the company to let that investment go or be sacrificed (case in point, Garam and Seunghan), then they will be.

[@ssimonesays]

I wish I was as smart as you lmao 🥲 very much got attached to her

[@wj0067]

This isn't actually new news... Hybe did the bare minimum... it was all an act, they went through the motions. Garam “raised” her voice…Yelled at a girl who was posting inappropriate photos of a friend. Maybe she said some “bad” words while “yelling”, that is why she has the “record” that she has. It even stated that there was NO physical violence. The ZERO tolerance against Bullying policy... only goes into effect when things BLOW UP, and the Bullying CAN'T be over looked. And it's often the innocent, or thoes fighting back that end up in trouble.

Wow now everyone is blaming hybe. Although hybe is not a good company, netizens are the only ones who drove garam to the edge by bullying her. It is easy to blame it on the company, when you judged her even before she could prove herself. And why are channels not mentioning that the leaked internal documents contained hate comments from netizens and someone picked only hate comments to leak? As far as I can see, I don't see hybe gain anything by ruining their own artists image....but I do suspect MHJ.
