1. [+763] If she's wanted to be a singer since she was young, shouldn't she have at least attempted to live a kind life, even if it was just an act?

2. [+597] They're going to get a ton of backlash if they put her back in the group, Hybe needs to make sure they think this through

3. [+502] Hybe continues to protect the assaulter

4. [+472] The main point of this scandal is now whether Hybe is choosing to attack the victim for a second time or not. Everything about Kim Garam has already been confirmed and verified, and her innocence is no longer up for debate.

5. [+140] I'm actually amazed at her mental. The fact that she was out there going to auditions while bullying classmates at school, the shamelessness ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+250] I guess the only real way to end this scandal is to just throw money at it. Hybe's only hope is to pay off the victim enough money to make them say that it wasn't true ㅋㅋㅋ not that anyone would believe it anymore...

7. [+309] I wonder if there's more to this group than we know.. or if she has some really powerful sponsors backing her. All of this is just so weird;; Anyone can tell that the group is doing just fine without Kim Garam so why would Hybe continue to force her into the group and risk their failure? Isn't that so weird? There's definitely more to this than we're seeing.

8. [+275] Settlement and whatever aside, I just don't want to see her anymore. I won't be able to stand the fact that a kid like her is able to enjoy anything in the entertainment industry. It's not fair that only the victim's life is ruined.

9. [+71] Yeah, find a settlement or whatever and finally end this so that we can all let Kim Garam go. The majority of the fans are supportive of a 5-member group. Adding her back now is just dooming the group to a future of fandom wars between fans who support 5 and fans who support 6.

10. [+14] For even international fans to want her out of the group, you can tell that this is a serious situation. Most foreign fans have a completely different mindset from our country and are of the belief that most celebrity scandals are things 'that can happen' and are willing to give stars a pass on them (because foreign celebrities commit worse scandals and continue working just fine...). For even foreigners to have turned their backs on her means that she has no choice but to leave not only Le Sserafim but the industry for good... There's just too much evidence for even the foreigners to shield at this point.

11. [+273] Maybe Hybe will change their minds once they see Le Sserafim thrive as 5 and win awards and all of that grind to a halt once they bring her back. Hybe is a for-profit company after all, their income has to be more important than one member?

12. [+45] If Hybe is seriously trying to put all this away by offering a settlement with money, they will be condemning all victims to have to live with a false memory of what happened.
