I'm saying this as a Kazuha/Sakura fan.
This is why I could never get into groups that have similar situations
I don't mean to offend anyone but personally, it feels wrong to force a member to quit just because she's a damage to their image like she's some disposable trash. It makes me feel off about the group succeeding thanks to another member's sacrifice. People preach about not treating kpop idols like some products but wish these things to happen to them is beyond hypocritical to me.
This makes me appreciate what SM and JYP did for groups like Stray kids, Itzy and Red Velvet more because they actually protected their artists with the risk of losing fans. It makes these companies more human to me. So Hybe doing everything to protect Garam is the right thing imo. If they dump her afterwards, they are indeed a monster because it's mostly Hybe's fault that this scandal escalated this far. Keeping her is the least they can do for her.
