The K-Pop community seems to be shaken up by scandal after scandal lately. As GLAM member Dahee recently admitted to attempting to blackmail A-list actor Lee Byung Hun with footage of their sexual conversation, GLAM's future in the K-Pop industry is now under question. allkpop writers alim17 and mssylee debate this issue; while alim17 argues that GLAM can recover from this controversy and move on, mssylee states that this is it for GLAM, as one member falls into a scandal this big, she will take the rest of the group down with her.

alim17 brings up a fair point that as the scandal does not involve the other members, they shouldn't receive public backlash that Dahee undoubtedly will. mssylee counters, however, that the public can be harsh, and as GLAM has yet to establish a solid image among the K-Pop industry, this scandal may haunt them for the rest of their potentially short-lived career.
This also raises the question of how Lee Byung Hun's own reputation will be affected. Even if he was the blackmailee rather than the blackmailer, he was caught on tape asking some provocative questions as a married man.
