Korea is one of the more culturally conservative countries out there.

cursing ain't all that bad. words only hold the power you ascribe to them.

Edit: I agree, the reaction is definitely blown out of porportion over a curse.

reaction is overkill lol but she didnt just curse.. it was an 8v1 situation for 3hours at apartments which occured before molka incident no need to undermine what Garam did when we know what Eunsoo did is arguably worse.

but also are we surprised at knetz reaction? theyve bullied idols for much less

I will say that PC translated posts were calling her an iljin instead which looks to be what she was judging from her behavioir in the docu if the definition really refers to those messy kids at school

When are we as a collective gonna move on? Who even cares. Honestly 😭 even my own sibling like... let's let this girls career rest in peace

we will move on by tommorow and then we will be back when Garam re debuts in another company or does a tell all sit down with Eunsoo

I wonder who is going to be cancelled next, stay tuned kids it could be you!

You know what I just realized? I think knetz would only change their mind if Eunseo had been a celebrity. They're basically a vicious pack of sharks and they want their kill. If Eunseo had been on the menu they would have targeted her instead. But since she's not, they're sticking with Garam to fill their hunger. Knetz just REALLY love seeing a celebrity or person of "higher class" get taken down. It probably fills some weird internal hunger for social justice.

[instiz] KIM GARAM'S STATEMENT

bypannchoaAugust 10, 2022

Hello, this is Kim Garam.

First of all, I want to convey my apology.

I might be too late, but I didn't have any opportunity to share my position until now.

I put a lot of effort and worked really hard towards my dreams, but it was true that I was frightened that my past actions might break the dream I had been running towards. However, as each day passed by, I got more and more scared about the criticism directed towards me.

And if given the opportunity, I wanted to express my position honestly.

1. I have never hit or assaulted anyone

2. I have never been forced to transfer school

3. Never drink nor smoke

4. I have never harassed or bullied anyone.

5. I was just a normal student

The school violence incident occurred in my first year of middle school between March~May, when Yoo Eunseo was caught talking bad behind other friends and took a picture of another friend in their underwear and uploaded it.

I started arguing with Yoo Eunseo because I thought I was helping my friend who was the victim, and I ended up swearing at Yoo Eunseo. At that time, I was unaware of the difference between the majority and the minority, so I did not deepen the thought that it was wrong to argue with Yoo Eunseo.

At that time, I thought it was righteous/loyal to help my friend who was the victim, we didn't know the seriousness of our actions because we felt rewarded doing it.

Looking back now, I was very immature.

At that time, friendship was the most important to me, and I was at the age where I would enjoy my time with my friends the most. My method at that time was wrong, and there were many mistakes and clumsy actions from my part, but I don't want to hate myself for what I did at that time.

My parents often told me not to ignore a friend who needs help and is in trouble.

As expected, at this moment, I don't want to change the meaning behind the actions I did back then.

I am trying to live my life by working harder so that my life in the future can shine.

The debut was the time I spent on the dream that I fought. The 2 weeks after my debut felt like a dream, but it will be remembered as a time I will never forget in my life.

I try hard to become a better person, and I am infinitely grateful to my precious fans who loved and supported me.

I was able to survive thanks to the constant support of the fans. I will do my best.

Thanks for reading this long post.

+ She released it on her Instagram

original post: here

1. Isn't she even embarrassed for s*xual comments? It's f*cking funny to see her playing dumb and trying to crawl backㅜ She should just stay hidden, even immigrating to another country wouldn't be enough for herㅎ

2. She didn't even reflect one bit, I don't want to see her again even as a commonerㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. It's just a fact that she received the 5th level of punishment, but she didn't even reflect one bit and just released this ?

4. So she thinks that because she didn't hit anyone, she didn't commit school violence?? She was sending swears and telling people she'd gang up against them on Katalk, how scared would those people feel?

5. Her brain has stopped in middle school.

She's claiming she couldn't differentiate between the majority and the minority so she was short-sighted, but she's also saying that she wouldn't change anything now... What a dumba*s

6. !! Her IG handle is: y__urm

7. They did the right thing kicking her out

8. She's really self-pitying herself, what an amazing kid...

9. "I'll do my best"? Yeah just go do your best in your life as a commoner ~

10. I just went to her IG and read everything... She really said she doesn't care what she did in the past, she still wanted to be a celebrity, interesting

Bro, knetizens you're referring to are comments from pann, qoo or twitter, generally not the best sites that represent the public.

it is what it is...

Aren't those sites more reliable to assess how to public feels since people can't really freely talk about stuff like this on sites where their reputation is at stake.

Also does anyone have information on the whole blackboard thing? I keep seeing it mentioned and idk if it was ever addressed or debunked

idk if they ever directly addressed the photos beyond saying that... the only one i recall them addressing is the IVE down one which made people speculate she used to be a trainee there. They said she wasnt a trainee.

Lemme quickly go check again because i might be recalling something else since its been a while
