Kim Garam, who left the group LE SSERAFIM amid school bullying controversies, is embarking on a new career as an actress.
Management Goo announced on September 10 that it has released a new profile photo of Kim Garam, stating, "Kim Garam, an actress with diverse charms and limitless potential, has joined Management Goo."
The agency added, "Kim Garam is constantly working to show the public a new side of herself, honing her skills in acting as well as foreign languages (English and Japanese) and sports."
They continued, "We wanted to showcase her diverse charms and potential as an actress through this profile. We will provide full support to help her grow and shine in great projects in the future."
Previously, Kim Garam debuted as a member of LE SSERAFIM in May 2022. However, she became embroiled in school bullying allegations both before and after her debut. At the time, her agency claimed that the issues arose during her early middle school years when she was making friends and were maliciously edited to defame her, asserting that she had been confirmed as a victim of bullying through third-party testimonies. However, it later emerged that Kim Garam had received a disciplinary action for being a perpetrator of school bullying, leading to widespread criticism.
Ultimately, Kim Garam ceased her activities shortly after her debut and left LE SSERAFIM in July 2022. She later enrolled at Konkuk University in 2024, majoring in media acting, and this year launched a personal YouTube channel where she shares videos of her acting practice.
