Former LE SSERAFIM member Kim Ga-ram launched a personal YouTube channel named 'garamonly' on March 13, 2026, and uploaded her first video. In the video, she explained recording her acting practice and daily life, drawing attention from fans. The channel quickly gained subscribers and views shortly after launch.
Kim Ga-ram debuted in 2022 as a member of the girl group LE SSERAFIM, produced by HYBE and Source Music. Shortly after the debut, allegations of school bullying surfaced on online communities. Source Music initially denied the accusations, stating that Kim had been the victim. However, as additional claims emerged, including photos and documents related to a school disciplinary action, the controversy grew. She halted activities 19 days after debuting and left the group about two months later, with her exclusive contract with Source Music terminated.
Since then, Kim has largely stayed away from entertainment activities. In 2025, she opened a personal social media account and resumed communicating with fans. It has also been reported that she enrolled in the media acting department at Konkuk University, indicating a potential shift toward acting.
On March 13, 2026, Kim launched her YouTube channel titled 'garamonly' and uploaded her first video, simply named 'ep. 01.' In the video, she explained, "I turned the camera on because I wanted to record my acting practice videos and parts of my daily life." The roughly five-minute clip features her filming a self-cam in a rehearsal room, practicing acting at home, closely reviewing her own performance, studying in a library, attending acting lessons, and playing the guitar as a song she is practicing.
The video gained rapid attention, surpassing 36,000 views within about two hours of upload, while the channel exceeded 20,000 subscribers by 9 p.m. on March 13. With the channel revealing her acting lessons and daily routine, many observers suggest the former idol may be preparing for a comeback as an actress.
