JAKARTA - Two months after the last investigation, HYBE's agency and Source Music announced Kim Ga ram's departure from LE SSERAFIM. This is related to the bullying case by Garam.

Today, Wednesday, July 20, Source Music expressed its apologies to fans and the public who have waited so long for this decision.

“Our agency has decided to terminate the exclusive contract with Kim Ga Ram. We sincerely apologize to fans who showed love and support to the group members," wrote Source Music.

In the future, LE SSERAFIM will continue to promote as five members: Sakura, Kim Chaewon, Kazuha, Eunchae, and Hyunjin.

"LE SSERAFIM will continue their activities as a five-member group and we will support the group to develop as artists through their music and performances," concluded Source Music and HYBE.

With this, Kim Garam became the member of the girl group with the shortest activity time.

It is known that before debuting on May 2, Kim Ga Ram was rumored to be one of the bullies at school. However, Source Music denied the news and even planned to sue the rumor maker.

Rumors continued to grow where more and more victims and eyewitnesses spoke up. On May 20, Source Music stated that Kim Ga Ram will be taking a break for a while to recover his mental state.

On the other hand, new evidence continues to emerge. The highlight is Kim Ga ram's criminal record at level 5. This means that Kim Garam received disciplinary action for his actions during school.

The record was also recorded in the South Korean Ministry of Education. HYBE also questioned the record.

HYBE and Source Music's decision to expel Kim Ga Ram was allegedly related to the truth of the bullying case. However, until now HYBE has not released a statement regarding the investigation.
