> Hello, this is Kim Garam.
> First of all, I want to convey my apology.
> I might be too late, but I didn't have any opportunity to share my position until now.
> I put a lot of effort and worked really hard towards my dreams, but it was true that I was frightened that my past actions might break the dream I had been running towards. However, as each day passed by, I got more and more scared about the criticism directed towards me.
> And if given the opportunity, I wanted to express my position honestly.
> I have never hit or assaulted anyone
> I have never been forced to transfer school
> Never drink nor smoke
> I have never harassed or bullied anyone.
> I was just a normal student
> The school violence incident occurred in my first year of middle school between March~May, when Yoo Eunseo was caught talking bad behind other friends and took a picture of another friend in their underwear and uploaded it.
> I started arguing with Yoo Eunseo because I thought I was helping my friend who was the victim, and I ended up swearing at Yoo Eunseo. At that time, I was unaware of the difference between the majority and the minority, so I did not deepen the thought that it was wrong to argue with Yoo Eunseo.
> At that time, I thought it was righteous/loyal to help my friend who was the victim, we didn't know the seriousness of our actions because we felt rewarded doing it.
> Looking back now, I was very immature.
> At that time, friendship was the most important to me, and I was at the age where I would enjoy my time with my friends the most. My method at that time was wrong, and there were many mistakes and clumsy actions from my part, but I don't want to hate myself for what I did at that time.
> My parents often told me not to ignore a friend who needs help and is in trouble.
> As expected, at this moment, I don't want to change the meaning behind the actions I did back then.
> I am trying to live my life by working harder so that my life in the future can shine.
> The debut was the time I spent on the dream that I fought. The 2 weeks after my debut felt like a dream, but it will be remembered as a time I will never forget in my life.
> I try hard to become a better person, and I am infinitely grateful to my precious fans who loved and supported me.
> I was able to survive thanks to the constant support of the fans. I will do my best.
> Thanks for reading this long post.
