Poor other members. Garam really did do something dirty with hybe ceo. The ceo really don’t kick her out make all of this look weird

Why are they trying soo hard for this girl

The other 5 members can always vote to kick her out I guess

Their statement/ attitude sound like they want to fight the public.

That’s good and all but why does the other 5 girls deserve this? Chaewon and Sakura literally came with an established fanbase and Sakura have over 10 years of reputation in Japan for the group to lean on. Yet they all have to battle through this mess for a girl they barely meet a couple months ago? I wonder how they feeling.

This is gonna be spicy

Hybe is gonna have a hard time trying to convince the public

Can anyone tell me why Hybe would ever listen to crusty Knetz on Qoo or Nate or Pann? The song has done nothing but grow from the very first time the rumors came out to even this past week when all those documents and statements were released and it made front page news.

I need to find someone as loyal to me as HYBE is to Garam because geez

I'm still mixed on this. I dont doubt she's a bully but at the same time, I really feel bad for her at this point

I feel like that lvl 5 document will always be hanging over their heads waiting to be released from the shadows. Best of luck to them.

I wonder if Hybe will regret keeping her in the group once it will affect their pockets.

What are you implying? That a 16 year old girl, putting the bullying scandal on the sidelines for this particular situation, did what with the CEO?

Did u miss the update where it was reported on tv news and get on front page for the society (not entertainment) section?

The scandal get a lot of attention and the department of ministry of education have to step in and confirm the document. I don’t remember the ministry of education ever step in any of the bullying cases before.

I lost hope on the company to feel simpathy over the victims. But at least think from business aspect, this case will be tainted the company's public image and even might be the artists under the label even though they have nothing to do it.

Whether this is true or not, their recent behavior makes this believable. What does this girl have that makes them ride so hard for her?

She's not the ace of the group, or the most popular member, or the most skilled on stage or variety. This isn't even intended to hate on her, I'm genuinely wondering.

Is she rich and her parents own shares in the company or something? Why won't hybe just let her go? If this turns out to be true, the other members efforts will go down the drain if ppl choose to boycott.

Hybe did Garam very dirty when they refused to settle this issue privately behind closed doors early on. This could have been like several other bullying scandals where the idol strikes a deal with the victim and issues a public apology then go back to doing their job after a short hiatus.

Garam was already punished in school and if the victim's law firm is to be believed, all the victim wanted was an apology. So it's not fair for Garam to lose her job and dreams over this. But hybe turned this into a circus that will probably follow her for the rest of her life and reduce her chances of resuming her idol career. The least they can do is stand by her after all the damage they caused.

So what? You're making my point for me lol. It's actually GOOD that the GP now knows about this issue.

The song has continued to rise despite all this media attention. Hybe can do whatever it wants as long as the actual GP doesnt rise up against them. I'm not talking about a few crusty Knetz on Qoo or Pann or Nate or all those irrelevant sites, nobody cares what they think.

If the girls continue to book promotional activities, if the song continues to chart well, if there are no boycotts by the GP, then what?

Why are you guys not happy that a company isn't throwing out their idol like some disposable trash ? All of you flipped when cube decide to let go Soojin and called them the worst company and now when a company does they right thing and stand up for their idol you're suddenly mad ???? What a bunch of hypocrites

It's not the first scandal by an idol that makes it to the news

Seems like the title is clickbait, and they haven't announced anything new, but seeing their behavior this story could be correct

Aren't you the one who was saying stuff like only the IZ*ONE members matter and didn't bother learning the others names, calling them by descriptions like ballet girl? Did you turn suddenly into a fan of all 6?

Only one member is part of this issue, and I agree that all the media talk can make people curious to check out the song, but this has become bigger and bigger, even the Naver news section is posting about it and people who are generally not interested in idol news are commenting negatively, HYBE's image is getting worse and worse, which might jeopardize not only this group but things like the BTS military exemption that they have been hoping to get

don't take goroom , just add me

I still don't get why is Hybe so adamant at keeping her

Quote from icyruios

LE SSERAFIM would work well as OT5 it would almost be like a Red Velvet

Irene - Sakura: Center, visual, really popular member, oldest

Seulgi - Chaewon: All rounder best dancer good vocal

Wendy - Yunjin: English speaking main vocal

Joy - Kazuha: Tall beautiful popular visual member

Yeri - Eunchae: Lovable maknae

I can see it, maybe that's why I warmed up to the group quickly. Their Bsides are nice too.

Normal and sane company will need time to make decision. They don’t jump whenever the public speaks because at times “the public” are just paid internet trolls that say something like “let’s not buy”, “let’s drop this group”, “this is the worst company ever” etc and others will jump in the bandwagon and agree. It’s basic smear campaign 101. Give them time. With enough evidence and complete report, I’m sure they will make a statement or do something. Even statement like “Garam did something to the CEO” is suggestive and want others to think there’s something fishy going on.

Lets make one thing clear. No, department of ministry of education didn't HAVE TO step in. They were simply requested to confirm the validity of document which they did. While they also mentioned that the levels might vary depending on schools.

No brand is gonna touch her or this group with the bully image they have going on if nothing is settled

icy tell me you didnt copy and paste this from the pannchoa site comment section

they're crazy

If you're a bully, don't think of becoming an idol. It's that easy

Don't be suprised when you get kicked

News: the world is dying

Antis, pathetic Knetz: Hyunjin did this

Hybe's fate in their fandom must be of astronomical levels, I can't even imagine the pressure and the judgement that Garam is constantly going to be subjected to from the public and not only. She's either super mentally strong or doesn't have a say in any of this. Business wise, I can't see any brand wanting to associate with them for a while, so I don't know how will this play out in the long run...

You guys realize that nothing about this is official and that this can easily be fake news right?

Also im not exactly on Garam's side but its funny that people are criticizing HYBE for doing what every company should be doing: protecting their idols. HOW they're doing it is open to criticism. But the fact that they're doing it shouldn't be.

Quote from ZestyMochi

These theories about Garam being a Ceo daughter or Chaebol are hilarious plus the insulting remarks about her not being a visual or good member are pathetic. What's the point of being signed to a company with a whole legal team if the company doesn't use it and drops you the moment a scandal hits. HYBE isn't riding hard for this girl their doing the bare minimum as her representative.

exactly idk why people are so mad
