SM Entertainment in Crisis? Ian’s Bullying Scandal Erupts! Should Ian removed from Hearts2Hearts?
Video: Victim Confesses About Ian’s Past Scandal
Ian from Hearts2Hearts is already in hot water just a day after her debut. Accusations of school bullying have surfaced, throwing SM Entertainment’s newest girl group into chaos. Fans are furious, demanding her removal from the group, and comparisons to Kim Garam’s LE SSERAFIM scandal are flying around.
Ian’s Past Comes Back to Haunt Her
Social media exploded with claims that Ian had bullied classmates in secondary school. Alleged victims and former peers have started speaking out, sharing stories that paint a disturbing picture. Screenshots, anonymous testimonies, and supposed chat logs have begun circulating, adding fuel to the fire.
Will SM Entertainment Cut Ties?
SM Entertainment has yet to respond, but the pressure is mounting. Many recall how HYBE swiftly removed Kim Garam from LE SSERAFIM after her own bullying controversy in 2022. Back then, HYBE initially defended Garam, but as public outrage grew, they had no choice but to let her go.
Now, fans are wondering if SM will follow suit or try to salvage Ian’s career. The problem? Hearts2Hearts has already debuted.
Kicking out a member now would be a logistical nightmare. Finding a replacement or reworking their performances isn’t easy. But keeping her could damage the group’s reputation before it even takes off.
Fans Rally Behind Victims
Online, the general consensus is clear: Ian should be removed. Fans have flooded social media with hashtags demanding justice for the alleged victims. Some are even calling for an official apology and urging SM to take responsibility.
Meanwhile, Ian has stayed silent. No statement, no explanation, nothing. This silence is only making things worse, as many believe an innocent person would deny the allegations immediately.
What Happened with Kim Garam?
Kim Garam’s case rocked the K-pop industry. Initially, HYBE and Source Music defended her, claiming she was a victim of malicious rumours. However, as more evidence surfaced—including official school documents confirming her involvement in school violence—public opinion turned against her.
In the end, HYBE terminated her contract and LE SSERAFIM continued as a five-member group. It was a messy situation that damaged the group’s debut era, but they managed to recover.
What’s Next for Ian?
If SM Entertainment doesn’t act fast, this scandal could drag Hearts2Hearts down before they even gain momentum. Fans are waiting for an official response, but if history is any indication, Ian’s K-pop career might already be over.
Will SM cut her loose, or will they risk the backlash and keep her in the group? Either way, things aren’t looking good.
