More on Sulli's death
The K-Pop group f(x)'s former member Sulli, whose true name is Choi Jin-ri, died by suicide in her flat in October 14, 2019. She was 25 at the time of her passing. Previously, she had been candid about her battles with mental illness and tiredness. The singer had also spoken on significant issues like cyberbullying.
The Washington Post had reported that a note was found by the local police officers during the inspection of her apartment, but it was not a suicide note. Whereas, an open notepad was also found in her apartment consisting of Sulli's handwriting where she had penned down her thoughts while inspecting her apartment. The K-Pop star had gone public about her relationship with a rapper which did not sit well with the South Korean perception of a K-Pop idol and her fans. Sulli had then revealed in an Instagram story video that after going public with her relationship, her closest friends left her. She had also admitted upon being fallen apart over the same.
