Many even joked that it sounded as if the members of LE SSERAFIM swallowed their CD for breakfast.

The idol was previously accused of being a school bully in middle school. People who claimed to be classmates with her stated she smoked and drank underage and bullied juniors who did not greet her well. Photos of inappropriate posts on her Facebook also became a hot topic.
Though she performed confidently, many did not like that Source Music was pushing Kim Garam as the group's center. People believe the stan-attracting members should be the center, such as Sakura and Kazuha. It rubbed people the wrong way when Kim Garam stood in the center and covered Kazuha, who was behind her.

People believe LE SSERAFIM has the potential to be a top girl group, but this can only be done if Source Music concludes investigations on Kim Garam's bullying case. Many hope the company is looking into the situation more seriously as Kim Garam continues to promote.
