Four years after leaving the group LE SSERAFIM amid school bullying controversies, Kim Ga-ram has announced a fresh start as an actor.
On the 10th, her management agency, Management Koo, released new profile photos of Kim Ga-ram. In the photos, Kim Ga-ram gazes into the camera with a more matured atmosphere and deeper gaze, showing a different charm than before.
Through an official statement that day, the agency stated, "Kim Ga-ram is constantly striving to show a new side of herself to the public. Through these profile photos, we wanted to showcase her diverse charms and potential as an actor. We will spare no effort in providing full support so that she can show further growth in great productions moving forward."
Kim Ga-ram previously signaled her return to the entertainment industry by signing an exclusive contract with Management Koo last June.
According to her agency, she has steadily trained toward her new goal of becoming an "actor," building her skills in various fields including acting, foreign languages such as English and Japanese, and athletics. She is currently carefully reviewing her next project and plans to meet the public through various works and contents, starting with the release of these profile photos.
Kim Ga-ram debuted as a member of LE SSERAFIM in May 2022, but school bullying controversies arose immediately after her debut, leading her to suspend activities on May 20 of that year, just 18 days after debuting. Eventually, Source Music officially announced the termination of her exclusive contract and her departure from the group.
Following her departure, Kim Ga-ram stepped away from official activities to focus on her studies, enrolling in Konkuk University's Department of Media Acting. In May of last year, she opened a personal Instagram account and gathered 500,000 followers in less than 24 hours, and in March of this year, she opened a YouTube channel share updates through vlog content.
