It has been six years since singer and actress late Sulli (real name Choi Jin-ri) passed away, and her brother expresses his condolences.
On the 14th, Sulli's brother posted on his social media, "I believe that loving means enduring my own misfortune. We remember my beloved sister's death and the birthday of Charlie Kirk, a young man who loved America so much, together."
He added, "If this post is attacked, your sanctuary will be shattered. Don't provoke me."
In response, a netizen commented, "I think it's inappropriate to mention Sulli and Charlie Kirk together. It goes against the values he stood for. Please reconsider."
Sulli's brother emphasized, "I see no contradiction between the two regarding women's rights, safety, and freedom, which are all part of a larger mental framework. Their positions and languages may differ, but their values are the same."
Charlie Kirk, founder of the American conservative youth organization 'Turning Point USA,' was shot and killed last month during a lecture on the 'American Comeback Tour' at Utah Valley University in Utah, USA. The suspect was arrested by authorities 33 hours after the incident.
Charlie Kirk publicly supported President Donald Trump and served as a personal assistant to Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. He advocated for gun ownership based on Christian values and criticized abortion, homosexuality, and transgender rights.
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 until the day before her death, which added to the shock. The autopsy revealed no signs of foul play.
Sulli debuted in 2005 with the SBS drama 'The Story of Seodong' and later debuted in the music industry in 2009 as a member of the girl group f(x), actively participating in various activities. 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. Nevertheless, she actively participated in web entertainment shows like 'Jinri Store' and the variety program 'Evil Comments Night.'
In 2023, a documentary titled 'To Jinri,' featuring Sulli's life, was released at the 28th Busan International Film Festival, drawing attention. The video was filmed in 2019 but was released late due to Sulli's sudden passing in October of that year.
