Singer and actress the late Sulli (real name Choi Jin-ri) has been gone for 6 years.
Sulli suddenly passed away on October 14, 2019, at the age of 25. At the time, she had been actively communicating with fans through her schedule and social media activities right up until the day before her death, which added to the shock. The autopsy results showed no signs of foul play.
Sulli debuted in 2005 with the SBS drama 'The Ballad of Seo-dong' and later made her mark in the music industry as a member of the girl group f(x) in 2009, where she was active. Debuting at the young age of 15, she rose to fame with several hit songs such as 'La Cha Ta', 'Hot Summer', and 'Electric Shock'. As an actress, she appeared in numerous works including the drama 'To the Beautiful You', and films 'Pirates: Bandits Going to the Sea', 'Fashion King', and 'Real'.
However, in 2014, Sulli expressed her unique pain due to malicious comments and rumors about her, leading her to halt her activities, and she left the group in 2015. Despite this, Sulli actively participated in web entertainment shows like 'Jinri Store' and the variety program 'Evil Comments Night'.
In 2023, the documentary 'To Jinri', featuring Sulli's life, was released at the 28th Busan International Film Festival, drawing attention. The footage was filmed in 2019, but it was released later due to Sulli's sudden passing in October of that year.
