[Nate] LATE SULLI, 7TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY TODAY... YOUNG LIFE OF 25 Y'O CUT SHORT BY HATE COMMENTS

Seven years have passed since the late singer and actress Sulli departed this world. Although her sudden passing brought shock and sorrow to many, she remains in the public's memory to this day.

Sulli was found dead at her home in Gyeonggi-do on October 14, 2019. She was 25 years old.

At the time, her manager visited her home after being unable to reach her ahead of a scheduled broadcast recording and discovered her. Police arrived at the scene following a report, but she had already passed away. Authorities investigated the circumstances of her d**th, including conducting an autopsy, and reportedly found no evidence of foul play or criminal activity.

The sudden, tragic news sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. The fact that the deceased had fulfilled a commercial shoot schedule just the day before her passing added to the sense of sorrow. Following the announcement, a wave of mourning swept across the industry; scheduled events, such as production presentations for TV shows and comeback showcases, were cancelled or postponed, while fellow celebrities and fans alike mourned her sudden departure.

The late Sulli had built a connection with the public through her career in the entertainment industry, which began in her childhood. She made her debut as a child actress in the 2005 SBS drama 'Ballad of Seodong' and later launched her career as a singer in 2009 as a member of the group f(x).

However, behind her glamorous public life, she suffered greatly due to malicious online comments. While she had openly shared her thoughts and daily life with the public, she faced relentless, reckless criticism and hateful comments. Following her passing, a widespread societal outcry emerged regarding the severity of malicious online comments and the urgent need to eradicate them. Discussions concerning hate speech and malicious comments directed at celebrities also resurfaced prominently.

Subsequent discussions also focused on the issue of comments on entertainment news articles hosted by web portals. Changes in online commenting culture emerged as Kakao discontinued its entertainment news comment service in 2019, followed by Daum and Naver doing the same in 2020. The tragic passing of the deceased prompted reflection on the impact malicious comments can have on individuals and the importance of responsible communication in online spaces.

At the Busan International Film Festival held in November 2023, Dear Jinri, a documentary film serving as Sulli’s posthumous work, was unveiled, drawing significant attention. The film captures Sulli’s life as an actress and artist, as well as the thoughts and inner struggles of Choi Jinri, the person behind the public persona, through an interview-style format.

Dear Jinri offered an honest glimpse into the various concerns and thoughts Sulli encountered in her daily life, allowing audiences to look into the inner world of the late artist, facets that were difficult to fully grasp through her stage performances and acting roles alone. The work holds special significance by prompting reflection on the questions she harbored and the personal struggles she faced while living under the public eye. For audiences encountering her image again through this work, it served as another meaningful opportunity to remember and cherish her memory.

Seven years have already passed since Sulli left this world. The music and works she left behind remain with the public, and the honest, unique persona she displayed during her lifetime continues to live on in the memories of many.

Even now, those who miss the late star are visiting Sulli’s social media pages to pay their respects. The comments and messages filled with memories left on her posts serve as a testament to the fact that she remains in people's hearts.

Sulli is remembered by some as a singer who beamed brightly on stage, and by others as an actress who showcased diverse facets of herself through her work. Though her life was short, she left a distinct mark through her music, acting, and unique individuality; the longing for her endures even seven years later.

The malicious comments were one thing, but the journalists really set the stage for it. When Sulli posted a photo on social media showing her breasts without a bra, the reporters naturally kept spreading it around. People have no choice but to leave provocative comments on provocative articles
