On May 11, Korean online community platform DC Inside revealed the results of a fan vote held under the theme: “Which star is most likely to regret leaving their team?”
Former Kim Garam ranked No.1 with 3,527 votes, accounting for 20% of the total 17,809 votes cast.
Kim Garam debuted as a member of LE SSERAFIM before leaving the group following school bullying allegations that surfaced during her middle school years. After stepping away from the spotlight for a long period, she recently returned to public attention by opening a personal YouTube channel and sharing updates with fans.
Second place went to Danielle with 3,451 votes, also accounting for 20% of the total.
Danielle rose to global fame as a member of NewJeans before the group became embroiled in an ongoing contract dispute with ADOR. Reports stated that the members faced legal conflict and potential damages claims following the contract termination situation. Danielle later drew attention after emotionally communicating with fans through a live broadcast.
Third place was taken by Jessica Jung with 2,443 votes (14%).
Jessica departed from Girls’ Generation in 2014 and has since pursued solo music activities and fashion business ventures. She also appeared on a Chinese audition program and later attracted attention for performing Girls’ Generation songs during her solo concert.
Former T.O.P member T.O.P ranked fourth on the list. The rapper and actor gradually distanced himself from BIGBANG following past controversies involving marijuana use.
Fifth place went to Aran, who left FIFTY FIFTY amid a contract dispute shortly after the global success of “Cupid.”
Other names included former FIFTY FIFTY members Sio and Saena, along with former Jang Gyuri member Jang Gyuri.
