Shortly after debuting with the then-sextet, she drew controversy for being involved in school bullying allegations and the revelation of an alleged past school violence disciplinary record. The controversy quickly escalated into one of the most talked-about situations in the entertainment industry at the time, eventually leading to her departure from both LE SSERAFIM and her former company.<\/p>\n<p>Since stepping away from the spotlight, the artist has focused on education and rebuilding her future. She enrolled at Konkuk University in 2024 and is currently majoring in Media Acting. In March 2026, she launched a YouTube channel to connect with new audiences. Meanwhile, Management Goo promises a bright future for the 20-year-old artist, as it is also home to established names such as\u00a0Lee Yo Won, Ha Seok Jin, Seo Ji Hun, Yoo In Soo, Kwon Hyuk, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former LE SSERAFIM member Kim Garam is preparing for a new beginning after signing an exclusive contract with Management Goo.
