1. [+969, -42] I held back again and again as a Le Sserafim fan but Hybe is a bigger issue than Kim Garam. If they weren't so stubborn for no reason this whole time... and the fact that they didn't even bother fact checking any of this stuff before debuting her is just further evidence that they don't deserve to be recognized as a top agency in our country. They hit jackpot with BTS but that does not mean their agency is at the top just because BTS is. They only look big on the outside... but they need to learn to do better on the inside, yes?

2. [+861, -10] She probably thinks she just got unlucky this time. No remorse or reflection at all for the crimes of her past. Just unlucky.

3. [+507, -7] School bullies better give up on the hope of pursuing celebrity careers. How embarrassing to have all of this come to light eventually.

4. [+425, -3] To all of you committing school violence without any thought to your future, just know that you will one day regret it. There needs to be more examples shown like this to make school bullies hesitate before their actions.

5. [+415, -4] Children need to be taught that school bullies will never be able to become public figures. Parents and teachers must educate them like this! 

6. [+163, -0] This is a good case. She will be made a good example out of to all of the iljins in school right now. Iljins will never ever be allowed to work in the celebrity industry.

7. [+54, -0] I don't care how people live their lives... I just want them to know that karma will always come back to get them. That's how life works.

8. [+29, -1] I still don't understand how someone who went around beating and bullying others could even want to become an idol to others. There are a lot of jobs one can have even with school violence on your record... just not a public figure like sports stars, politicians, or celebrities. This is not the kind of world where that is allowed anymore ㅋ

9. [+12, -0] So now that she's gone, shouldn't Hybe apologize for hurting the victims over and over again with their denials?

10. [+9, -0] I will never understand how someone can be so foolish enough to think that they can be a celebrity after committing school violence. Do they just have no concept of basic consideration? No idea just how bad their actions are?

1. [+722] Yup, I refuse to allow kids like her to run amuck. This is good 👏

2. [+526] "Stressed from hate comments"??? Did she think her life would turn out the way she wanted after she bullied others? I hope that she has it 100 times harder than her victims! 

3. [+305] She needs to work on becoming a human being

4. [+177] Okay, I am now joining the Le Sserafim fandom!!

5. [+364] We never know what's going to happen in life so let's all be kind to one another, kids

1. [+839] And still not one word of apology to the victim

2. [+287] Raise your glasses 😍

3. [+211] And this is how it should've been

4. [+192] Wow, I'm so glad I waited this out ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ cheers everyone~ 🔥🔥

5. [+449] Farewell ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ unless this was Hybe's crazy plan all along ㅋㅋ

6. [+148] Bye

7. [+163] Should've kicked her out sooner

8. [+167] Hul, maybe it really was noise marketing all along

9. [+173] All she did was get Le Sserafim's out there

10. [+128] Kim Garam, Jal Garam (farewell)

1. [+361] Finally she's leaving... I like them as five. I'm so surprised that she even managed to wait it out this long. Amazing. I'd be too embarrassed to even show my face.

2. [+137] I'm sure the other members have gone through enough emotional suffering all this time so I hope they're able to let it go...!! And to the member who left, I hope we never have to see your face again.

3. [+125] Garam-ah, real life is the real deal and society is cold and ruthless

4. [+46] Le Sserafim, please hurry with your comeback. I want to listen to a new song without Kim Garam's voice in it.

5. [+52] I hope she now realizes that bullies of school violence will never be able to live comfortable lives and that she learns from this to build a better life

6. [+55] As she should. And Hybe deserves all the hate they're getting for not kicking her out in the first place and inflicting all sorts of harm on the victims by claiming she's a victim and all that other nonsense.

7. [+108] It was wrong of Hybe to debut her without reaching any sort of conclusion but I'm glad she will no longer be hurting the team anymore

8. [+637] Perhaps debuting her was the best decision in the end after all. Revenge is sweetest when you bring them down while they're at their peak.

9. [+27] Hybe's hilarious with suddenly cutting her off when they were claiming she's a victim

10. [+116] It's good that she's kicked out but I don't think I'll ever forget the fact that Hybe set out to hurt the victims with how they handled this. Just shows how scary capitalism can be when it prioritizes money over human beings. Hybe and Source are not it for me ㅡㅡ I hope they don't ruin Le Sserafim's image as five.
