For those unfamiliar, Kim Garam debuted as a LE SSERAFIM member on May 2, 2022. However, her stay in the girl group would not last, as she was quickly dropped following wild accusations of her past as a high school bully. LE SSERAFIM’s company, HYBE’s Source Music, said they decided to terminate their contract with the former idol and that the group would carry on activities as a quintet.
