1. [+2,096] If you didn't do it, just say you didn't do it. What's with the ambiguous "That's a difficult question for me to respond to" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+1,351] Just leave the group... stop affecting the other members with this
3. [+1,797] It's probably "difficult for her to respond to" because the controversy is true ㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+754] Is she saying it's difficult to answer because the rumors are true..?
5. [+674] It's unfair for the other members to have to go through this... Whatever the truth is, they shouldn't have to have their debut marred by their member's past controversy
6. [+357] Why can't she just say it's not true??? Why is she saying it's "difficult" to answer?
7. [+492] Could anyone view her in an affectionate light?
8. [+322] If the controversy wasn't true, I'm sure she would've just said that outright..
9. [+997] The poor members who have to suffer because of the sh*t she took on the floor
10. [+279] Isn't saying "difficult to answer" basically just admitting to it? ㅋㅋ
11. [+171] What a joke, she was probably ordered by her agency to keep her mouth tightly shut
12. [+29] She pisses me off, she should just leave without affecting the others any further

1. [+1,800] It's really sad that someone who made another family's precious daughter cry is allowed to make money and receive love like this
2. [+1,100] Le Sserafim's fans need to think this through thoroughly. If the bullying rumors are true, then the victims might be staying quiet for now since they're still in school and they're scared, but it will all be exposed in the future once they become adults and have the means to do so. Then that will force Le Sserafim to halt promotions and will probably spiral their careers out of control. GI-dle made it out because Jun Soyeon is a genius and was able to produce top quality music to get them back up but judging by how Hybe has handled stuff like this, Le Sserafim will not be able to overcome a scandal of that size. I know it might hurt fans of Chaewon and Sakura to do this but you really need to ignore the group as a whole until Kim Garam leaves.
3. [+746] I think Hybe is just hoping that this will blow over by forcing her debut without a proper explanation... but this will just ensure that if Le Sserafim were to ever make a mistake in the future, this will constantly be brought back up. Hybe needs to think about this with an objective view of their reality.
4. [+370] One thing's for sure, it's that her scandal isn't the type of mistake that can be forgiven because "she was young". She tortured someone, that's a severe crime that might not result in legal punishment but criticism from society.
5. [+197] The fact that she's avoiding responding to the question could also mean that the accusations are true
6. [+1,700] Seems like this will be another case that will be forgotten with time. It's been so long since her accusations have come out but nothing's been done. If she was truly innocent, she would've said so at the showcase. Avoiding the question just makes it seem like she's waiting for it all to be buried away.
7. [+214] I haven't even watched their music video yet because the rumors might be true and I'd feel so turned off ㅠ I really like the other members ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ especially Sakura, she has never looked prettier
8. [+322] What Kim Garam said at the showcase today: "I am happy to have debuted"
9. [+385] I guess a company as big as Hybe can push forward with a debut like this without one proper explanation
10. [+41] If Hybe is intentionally choosing to keep Kim Garam under their wing, then they better not think of ever media playing again about how everyone in Hybe has great character, about how kind all of the staff are, etc
