HYBE Labels and Source Music officially responded to the latest school bullying accusation against LE SSERAFIM member Kim Garam

On May 16th, Source Music stated "Nothing has changed from our earlier statement. We have started to take legal action and the details will be revealed through the legal process." regarding the piece of 'new evidence' circulating online on the day before. 

The above document states Kim Garam from the first grade as a perpetrator along with another student from her class

The label reiterated, "The recent accusation revolves around instances during the beginning of her middle school days when she was just getting to know her classmates, and such instances were edited with malicious intent to slander her. Unlike the rumors, the said member was a victim of various malicious rumors and cyberbullying during her middle school days according to a third party."

Well at least they responded but there are harsh accusations against her, ppl are saying that she bullied a disabled person in a wheelchair. That's very specific and that the victim has a restraining order against her. If it is true then....she needs to apologize asap. If it isn't true, then take it to court then.

if they can't reveal anything to the public due to legal reasons, why did they debut the group? now garam (and the other members) will have to face scrutiny for something that might be false, but she can't say anything or speak on it, because of the legal battle. what hybe and source music should have done is postpone it until they were able to at least say SOMETHING. i know that legal battles can last for years, but hybe was not protecting the girls and their image AT ALL, debuting them under such spotlight.

i don't know if garam bullied anyone, and i will remain neutral until sufficient evidence comes out from BOTH sides. i'm not defending her, i just feel bad for the group.
