She posted her second photo today, and despite being mostly inactive, sheās already at over 700,000 followers. At this rate, she might hit 1 million soon. Itās kind of surreal to watch, especially considering everything thatās happened. Iām not bringing this up to reopen the bullying scandal again, people are entitled to their opinions on it. But for me, I followed her because it just felt genuinely unfair how everything played out. She was so young, and it all unfolded so fast and so publicly. Whether or not you believe she made mistakes, the level of backlash was overwhelming. Iāve seen a lot of people online ask why is she still getting so much attention? She was only in the group for a short time. She barely had any public activities. And with everything that happened, some people are calling the continued support ādelusionalā or overly parasocial. I think a lot of people arenāt just āstanningā her but theyāre quietly hoping she gets another shot at life on her own terms. So Iām curious: Why do you think so many people still care about Kim Garam, even after all this time, and even though she was only in the group for such a short period? submitted by /u/prettymuneca [link] [comments]
