I'm not much of a kpop stan but Kim Garam caught my attention.
This book is basically her struggles. Just a reminder to everyone out there, life isn't easy, no matter what career you choose, obstacles will always be there, what matters is how you overcome it. This book is basically for all those people who may be undergoing bullying or those who just want to know more about it.
As you all may or may not know, she was removed from her group shortly after debut because her 'friend'(fake) claimed that garam had bullied her(later proven false)
This book, is not ending in how it ended in reality. It showcases hope. How it should actually have ended.
This is her apology after she got removed from the group:
Hello, this is Kim Garam. I want to say sorry first. It's too late, but I haven't had a chance to tell you my opinion. I worked hard for my dream, so it was true that I was scared that my past actions would break my dreams. But as each day passes, many accusations towards me became more scary and I wanted to express my position honestly if given the opportunity 1. I have never once beaten or abused anyone 2. I have never been forced to transfer 3. I have never drunk or smoked 4. I have never bullied or bullied anyone 5. I was just a regular student. The rape incident occurred between March and May, Yoo Eun-seo uploaded photos of her friends chatting and wearing another friend's underwear. I got picked on by Yoo Eunseo thinking that I was helping a victim friend and I started cursing at her. At that time, I couldn't recognize the difference between the majority and the minority, so I couldn't make it clear that Yoo Eun-seo's actions were wrong. I thought it was loyalty to help a friend who was victimized, and I didn't know the seriousness of our actions because I felt only righteous. Now that I look back, it was very immature and unseasoned. At that time, friendship was the most important thing for me and the time with friends was the most enjoyable. At that time, my ways were wrong and there were many mistakes and clumsy behavior, but I don't want to hate me back then. My parents often told me not to pretend not to know your friends who need help and are in trouble. I also now and at this moment, the meaning has not changed. I'm going to try harder to make my future bright. Debut was the time I fought for my dream. 2 weeks after debut became a dream moment for me but it will be remembered as a time that I will never forget in my life. I will try and work hard to be a better person and I thank my precious fans for loving and supporting me. I was able to hang on because of your constant support. I'll do my best. Thank you for reading the long article. "
I never knew standing up for your friends had such a consequence.
Proof that she was the one getting bullied after she stood up for her friend:

Garam is innocent. She didn't physically hurt anyone. Garam is just 16 right now and that happened when she was 12.
2018: Her ex-friend, Yoo Eunseo, badmouthed her and spread false rumors about her and claimed that Garam threw a flowerpot at someone in school. Yoo Eunseo took an illegal photograph of Garam's friend and posted it on social media under another person's name. Yoo Eunseo didn't receive any punishment. Yoo Eunseo and Kim Garam had a long argument for 3 hours and Garam was standing up for her friend and cursed at Eunseo. Apologies were made by both parties. After the argument, Eunseo told her friends about what happened and they made threats to physically hurt Garam. Eunseo told the school violence committee that Garam and her friend caused violence and Eunseo transferred schools before the committee could even address it. But, Garam didn't transfer schools. Some students in her school falsely reported that Garam smokes. Some other people forced Garam to join a group chat. In the group chat, people would tease her and curse at her. Garam couldn't leave the group chat because they kept inviting her. If she didn’t read and respond to the messages, she would be harassed even more.
2022: The rumors about her smoking and drinking are entirely false. There was a rumor that Garam used to be in a debut group but she got kicked out. That is completely made up. Unfortunately, she got kicked out of Le sserafim permanently even after being proven innocent. Le sserafim is now a 5 member girl group.
HYBE/Source Music statements:
Everything that was written was written by me thinking I was Kim Garam. My emotions. What I would have gone through.
Though half of it is true, half of it is fictional. Not all of it is real. Like the her friends names or the ending,few of the bullying incidents etc.
