Former LE SSERAFIM Kim Garam's Admission at Top-Rated University Baffles Fearnots— 'Unfair'
Former LE SSERAFIM member Kim Garam has made waves yet again, this time not on stage but in academia.
The announcement of her admission to Konkuk University's esteemed Department of Media and Acting has ignited a storm of reactions across social media platforms.
Kim Garam, who was ousted from the K-pop group nearly two years ago, found herself back in the spotlight as her college admissions photo circulated online, quickly garnering over 3 million views on Twitter alone.

What's more of an incident is how people still call her LE SSERAFIM Kim Garam when it's been almost two years since she was kicked out."
While some expressed surprise at her academic achievement, others voiced frustration at the seemingly unfair advantage she possessed.
User Sunmiimm exclaimed, "Kim Garam went to Konkuk University. You're saying I could become a worse-off person than a school bully?"

The prestigious status of Konkuk University only added fuel to the fire, with user Sunghoonsex1208 lamenting, "F*ck even Kim Garam's going to Konkuk University. Why do I have to go to a rando-ass school?"
