Less than a month ago, I talked about Sulli’s promising future and now she no longer is
with us!
There is so much information out there about her death that I am not sure if it is correct
or not but can we just talk about how badly she was treated by netizens!?
Many fans believe that the backlash was the reason for her depression which led to her
passing!
Stay with me to learn more about Sulli’s controversies!
I believe it was some time around the promotion of F(X)’s Red Light that Sulli went on hiatus
because of the negative comments she was receiving.
SM announcement suggested that she was suffering physically from her ailments and mentally
from the malicious and untrue rumors that are spreading about her and because of that
she was going to take a break from her activities.
Soon after this, her withdrawal from the group was announced!
That was the beginning of her transformation!
The little girl that everyone thought was in need of help all the time turned into a
bold lady and showed her true self that we admired her for!
A free spirit who decided to live her life in the way she wanted!
And that, of course, did not sit well with the K-Netizens!
The first huge wave of criticism and hatred she received was when the rumors of her relationship
with Choiza started swirling around!
A popular young SM star with a street thug, as they called Choiza!
At first, none of the two commented on it but then when the wallet of Choiza was found
the pictures of him and Sulli were in it and fans got even angrier!
Basically, they were hating on Choiza for dating someone out of his league and accusing
him of using Sulli to gain more fame!
And criticizing Sulli for her poor choice calling her a hypocrite and a liar!
The further this relationship went, the less angry and more worried people became for Sulli!
There were rumors that she was in an abusive relationship and Choiza and that had a huge
negative effect on Sulli!
Netizens were even saying that he has changed the style of her Instagram to a more provocative
one but was that correct?!
Was Choiza the reason behind that or people just didn’t want to see this side of Sulli!?
For a conservative society such a South Korea, the way Sulli was finding herself and maturing
was not anywhere near the industry’s standards!
Her Instagram posts became a place of the most number of controversies with dividing
views and the topic of many headlines!
Things got even worse when she got involved in the "no bra" movement in South Korea which
was followed with her chest being exposed accidentally during an Instagram live!
This time the online bullies got to a whole new level!
People started calling her out and accusing her of being inappropriate and not being mentally
stable!
But Sulli seemingly was strong enough to go through all of this!
She even talked about it on Night of Hate Comments, saying she was scared of all the
negative comments she received at first when uploading a ‘no bra’ photo but the reason
she did it was that she wanted to change people’s prejudice regarding this topic!
And she did make a change but at what cost!?
The truth was that just as many of us could imagine, Sulli did have a hard time dealing
with the hate comments.
She constantly asked her agency to take a proper course of action in dealing with these
comments.
But apparently, the IP address of the user was registered in a foreign country making
it hard to search for them.
So the whole thing was ignored! 9p Even though she was dealing with so much anxiety and depression
because of all the comments!
No bra campaign was not the only thing Sulli was receiving hate for!
In the movie ‘Real,’ Sulli had portrayed drug use in a scene which led to people saying
that she is using illegal substances in real life!
There were even people who uploaded comparisons of photos of her pupils next to photos of
the pupils of people who really do drugs.
But she did talk about that as well saying she doesn’t use anything illegal!
She only acts freely within the limits of the law!
She was also criticized when she expressed her opinion about South Korea’s abortion
law ruling!
People were bashing her for celebrating the abolition of anti-abortion laws!
To tell you the truth, to me it just seemed like people were waiting for her to do or
say something so they can prey on her the whole time!
The backlash and amount of hate this poor girl had to endure was too much even for the
strongest human being and now she no longer is with us!
I wish we could only be a little kinder to one another.
A little more tolerant.
A little more understanding!
A little less entitled!
Who knows, maybe we would have Sulli with us right now instead of reading her death
announcement on October 13 and all the articles that are out there about her!
Not sure if any of those are correct but this time I decided to respect Sulli’s family
and her fans with not sharing anything that is published on different news outlets about
her!
May she rest in peace and finally find happiness in her other life!
We love you Sulli!
