However, shortly after the group\u2019s debut, allegations of school bullying surfaced on online communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Source Music initially denied the accusations and said Kim had actually been a victim. But as additional claims emerged, including photos and documents related to a school disciplinary action, the controversy intensified.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Kim eventually halted activities 19 days after debuting and left the group about two months later. Her exclusive contract with Source Music was also terminated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Since then, she has largely stayed away from entertainment activities. In 2025, she opened a personal social media account and began communicating with fans again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">It has also been reported that Kim enrolled in the media acting department at Konkuk University, suggesting a possible shift toward acting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">With the new YouTube channel revealing her acting lessons and daily routine, many observers say the former idol may be preparing for a comeback \u2014 this time as an actress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">This article from Xportsnews is adapted by a generative AI system and edited by The Korea Times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kim Ga-ram \/ Captured from Kim&#8217;s YouTube channel Kim Ga-ram, a former member of K-pop group LE SSERAFIM,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":540558,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136],"class_list":["post-540557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=540557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/540558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=540557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=540557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=540557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
