LE SSERAFIM needs to debut with 5 members or the group will be ruined

Garam mess is too big right now and if she debuts the group will be dragged forever

We have so many groups of 6 members currently so 5 would be a nice number

Soumu and Hybe needs to make an statement Garam will not participate in the group activities and will investigate the situation well. If she's guilty well she should be kicked out and if she's proved innocent she can participate in the group activies.

If she's innocent the public will feel sorry and sad for her and will support her even more

agree many companies have done this so it's not like this would be a new thing and the member came back without trouble so I see this as the only way to clear the group's image and also her image

I think she was a visual member. They can just sign a visual and kick garam.

i think garam is their main visual that's it's hard for hybe to let her go

Unlike other idols bully issues hers is not in the past but something that is happening in the present. Victims that are coming out are accusing her and her friends of bullying them NOW and during middle school. Hybe status is going down since her issues popped out. People are questioning the company’s morality over this group now. I don’t know what’s so special in her that they can’t drop her But it doesn’t look good for the group or the company

I have a strong feeling Kazuha visuals will be incredible but she and sakura are japanese so it's hard for them to be the main visual

There are so many dozen visuals in kpop. They can just sign anyone.

Minju should've accepted the offer. 😖

We wouldn't have to deal with garam.

Add in Minju and Chaeyeon and we have an unstoppable group

sakura is pretty but not the prettiest. Yunjin's visual even ranked above her during produce era.

I know that she ranked high there. I think both are prettier than garam

you're exaggerating the issue. if no actual evidence pops out, in 2-3 months maximum this will all be forgotten

if they put her in hiatus maybe it will be forgotten faster

beauty is subjective anyway

you haven't seen the korean side, it's so messy there

hybe doesn't want to kick garam because everything is already done and finished - photoshoots, album designs, photocards, group pictures, the webtoon... don't even get me started about the songs in the album, if they kick her they need to re-record everything, change the choreo and etc.. basically do everything all over again, it's a lot of work and it costs a lot of money

the best thing they can do is either, as op said, release a statement saying the group will temporarily promote as 5 or just postpone the debut until they sort out this mess, even though this is the worst choice because the group will lose their momentum and hype

Itzy's Lia is still promoting even when it involved police investigation lol If there's still no hard evidence, it's just gossips and rumors at the end of the day. She already has many people simping for her visuals even with just 50 secs of videos and pictures, imagine if she also has the talents to back her up? (which i really think she does because why else Hybe is risking their reputation to keep her?). So I don't think anything worse can happen to her except being dragged sometimes on the internet like other bullying idols.

Promote them as 5 until Garam name is clean is the best they can do
