Kim Garam, once a member of the K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM, faced a whirlwind of challenges early in her career. A mere month after her debut, she was engulfed in multiple bullying allegations that sent shockwaves through the industry. Consequently, she announced her departure from the group. Instead of letting this setback define her, Kim Garam returned to a more typical teenage life, attending the School of Performing Arts Seoul (SOPA). By May 2023, she celebrated her graduation from this esteemed institution.

SOPA, located in the heart of Seoul, is renowned for giving aspiring artists top-notch music, drama, and dance training. Many of its graduates, including Kim Garam, made their mark in entertainment. As an acting major at SOPA, she immersed herself in the intricacies of drama and theater. Her training covered everything from script analysis and voice modulation to character development and on-camera techniques.
Her dedication and hard work paid off. Following her graduation, Kim Garam was among the select few who cleared the first round of applications for the prestigious acting department of Dongguk University. With its central location in Seoul, this university offers a comprehensive curriculum in theater, film, and television. It’s a hub for budding actors, directors, and scriptwriters, providing them with the skills and exposure needed to thrive in the entertainment industry.

Congratulations to Kim Garam
To put Kim Garam’s achievement into perspective, the acting department of Dongguk University receives over 2000 applications annually, accepting only 30 students. With a 72.5% acceptance rate, it ranks as the third most sought-after acting department in South Korea. Notable alums from this department include Girls’ Generation‘s Seohyun and YoonA.
While the Dongguk University announcement redacted the second syllabus of her name, fans were confident that it referred to her. Why? There’s her unique name and the fact that the list only included students from SOPA’s acting department.
Now, with just the second round of applications standing between her and a place at Dongguk University, the future looks bright for this young star. Congratulations to Kim Garam on her continued journey in the arts. – K-Pop News Writer
