The suspected suicide of actress and K-pop star Sulli sent shockwaves through the Korean entertainment industry in 2019. The multi-talented performer was found dead in her home on October 14, with local outlets later reporting that she'd taken her own life. She was 25.
Sulli started out as a child actor, earning her first screen credit in 2007 drama Punch Lady and making her sophomore appearance in the rom-com Miracle of Giving Fool, released in 2008. She shifted her attention to K-pop the following year, debuting with the five-piece girl group f(x). Her music career was turbulent to say the least. Sulli broke a number of industry taboos, refusing to abide by the no dating rule and speaking up about the lack of protection afforded to idols. In 2015, she officially left f(x) and resumed her career as an actress, but it wasn't a clean break — the Busan-born star became the victim of a prolonged cyberbullying campaign.
In June 2019, just a few months before her passing, Sulli began co-hosting a show called Reply Night. She was given the chance to directly respond to malicious comments that had been made about her online, but the experience wasn't exactly cathartic. According to a friend, Sulli had been trying to quit the show for at least two months prior to her death, because it was having a negative impact on her mental health. "Her anxiety recently seemed to get much worse so we were very worried about it," they said (via Koreaboo).
