Kim Ga-ram (21), formerly of the group LE SSERAFIM, has announced a new start as an "actor" in the management sector.

Management G announced on the 16th, "We have been consistently following Kim Ga-ram's YouTube activities and were deeply impressed by her growth potential as an actor and her diligent attitude," formalizing an exclusive contract.

It further added, "Kim Ga-ram's daily efforts and progress toward achieving her dream became a key factor in deciding to sign an exclusive contract."

Regarding Kim Ga-ram's current activities, the agency stated, "She has been continuing consistent training and research to improve her acting skills, showing noticeable growth in a short period. Beyond acting, she is steadily investing time in learning English and Japanese, and is also self-teaching guitar playing, continuing to take on new challenges and pursue learning."

Additionally, the agency noted, "She dedicates most of her time to preparing for and developing herself to achieve her dream of becoming an actor, and we highly value her relentless efforts to fill her own shortcomings. After internal discussions, we determined that her future growth potential and promise are very significant, leading us to sign an exclusive contract."

The agency also expressed deep trust, stating, "Kim Ga-ram's diligence, passion, and her attitude of constantly learning and growing will be a great asset to her future acting career. We plan to provide full support to enable her to expand her activities more broadly."

Kim Ga-ram debuted in 2022 as a member of the girl group LE SSERAFIM but had to suspend activities amid school violence (hakpok) controversies. It was revealed that she was recognized as the "perpetrator" of a violence incident by the School Violence Countermeasures Committee and received the "5th penalty."

Consequently, she left the group that year, and her exclusive contract with her agency, Source Music, was also terminated.

At the time, Source Music bowed its head, saying, "We sincerely apologize to our fans and many others for the inconvenience caused by the controversy surrounding Kim Ga-ram."
