A school violence review committee found her to have been a perpetrator and issued a Level 5 disciplinary measure, which required the student to complete a special disciplinary program geared toward correcting violent behavior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Kim left the group in July 2022, and her contract with her then-agency Source Music, under HYBE Labels, was terminated. <\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Management Koo said Kim has been training to sharpen her acting skills and has shown notable growth in a short period. It added that she has been studying English and Japanese and learning to play guitar. The agency said it would provide full support as she expands her activities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">She enrolled at Konkuk University\u2019s Department of Media Acting in 2024 and launched a YouTube channel in March, sharing acting practice videos and glimpses of her daily life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Management Koo also represents actors such as Ha Seok-jin, known for his role in 2019 drama &#8220;Crash Landing on You,&#8221; and Kwon Hyuk, who was in &#8220;No Other Choice&#8221; (2025). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kim Ga-ram, former member of K-pop girl group Le Sserafim \/ Courtesy of Source Music Kim Ga-ram, who&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":497059,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[146,85,46,409],"class_list":["post-497058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=497058"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497058\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/497059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=497058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=497058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=497058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
