Hello. This is Kim Garam.Firstly, I would like to apologize. Although it’s very late, I didn’t have the opportunity to make a statement. It’s true that I was afraid that the dream, which I had been working hard for and running towards all this while, would shatter due to my past actions. But as days passed, I was even more afraid of all the criticisms targeted at me. And if I was given a chance, I definitely wanted to honestly tell my side of the story.1. I have never hit anyone or used violence on anyone, not even once.2. I have never been forced to transfer.3. I have never smoked nor consumed alcohol.4. I have never outcast or bullied anyone.5. I was just a regular student.About the school violence committee matter, it happened around March to May, when I was in my first year of middle school. Yoo Eun Seo talked about my friends behind their backs and uploaded a photo of another friend who was only dressed in her underwear.I wanted to help my friend, so I confronted Yoo Eun Seo and ended up cursing at her in the process. Back then, I wasn’t able to recognize the difference between too much and too little, so I did not think of my actions as wrong while confronting Yoo Eun Seo.I thought that I was being loyal by helping my friend, and I simply thought that my actions were chivalrous. I was unable to recognize the seriousness of the matter. Now, looking back, I had been rather immature.Back then, my friendships were the most important to me, and I was at the age where I enjoyed the time spent with them the most. My methods then were wrong, and although I made some mistakes and wrong actions, I don’t want to hate who I was back then.My parents had always told me not to ignore friends who needed help or were in a tough spot. I think the same even to this day.I will work even harder in order to let my future shine brighter. My debut was possible because of the time that I had spent fighting for my dream. Those two weeks after my debut feels like a dream to me, but ultimately, it will become a period of time in my life that I cannot ever forget.And to the precious fans of mine who loved me and cheered me on, thank you so much. I was able to hang on because of the endless support from my fans. I will definitely work hard.Thank you for reading this long post.August 10, 2022, Kim Garam.
