This was immediately responded by Source Music as the agency that houses the new Kpop idol .

Contrary to the allegations, it has been confirmed by a third party statement that Kim Garam was a victim of bullying at school, including false accusations and cyberbullying , when he was in middle school, wrote Source Music as reported by Wonosobo News via the Soompi page.

It was previously reported that the LE SSERAFIM member who was introduced after Miyawaki Sakura was accused of being a perpetrator of bullying .

Not only that, 16-year-old Kim Garam (international age) is also said to have behaved indecently, such as smoking at school.

However, firmly and quickly, Kim Garam's agency Source Music (part of HYBE ) stated otherwise.

In addition, the rumors that Kim Garam is a trainee of another agency and spread internal documents are completely untrue, continued Source Music .

Source Music said that the accusation of bullying against Kim Garam himself used “material” when the K- pop idol was in junior high school.

Kim Garam himself is a new Kpop idol under HYBE and Source Music who will soon debut with Miyawaki Sakura at LE SSERAFIM .

Being the youngest member of LE SSERAFIM , Kim Garam was mired in controversy even before his debut.

The bullying controversy itself is not new in the K- pop world, considering that last year, several popular idols such as Soojin ex-G IDLE and Mingyu Seventeen were also involved in similar cases.

However, it is only in the industry when a K- pop idol who has not debuted has stumbled upon a similar case.

Luckily Source Music under the auspices of HYBE immediately gave an official statement.

We inform you that Source Music has taken legal action regarding the unilateral accusation and misrepresentation and providing false information regarding this case, Source Music wrote .

Although the source did not include details of the bullying given to Kim Garam , including cyberbullying , the agency has firmly stated that the LE SSERAFIM member was a victim .

Furthermore, Source Music itself stated that it would take legal action without settlement or leniency.

It was stated on the same page that this step was taken because Kim Garam LE SSERAFIM was still a minor.

The allegations that were filed contain defamation of someone who was a minor before his debut as a celebrity, and we state clearly that we will be taking legal action without any settlement or leniency, concluded Source Music .
