The circumstances around the tragic death of K-pop star Sulli continue to be quite mysterious and surrounded by massive speculation after reports came out that she had taken her own life.

The news was met with a lot of speculation from the K-pop community, while others pointed out that this was nothing out of the ordinary for this corner of the entertainment world, known for being very stressful for everyone involved, others claimed trolls were bullying her.

And now, Sulli’s manager has revealed that the star was dealing with severe depression, and was the target of constant online bullying.

It is not known if that is what led her to the drastic decision to take her own life, but many are speculating that her death was indeed tied to the reported bullying.

Additionally, there have been many comments linking the sad passing of her good friend Jonghyun, another K-pop icon, who killed himself in December 2017.

Fans from all over the world have been talking about mental health-related issues and wondering if there is anything that could be done to save the young star.

A viral note read, “She didn’t commit suicide; she was killed by society. People need to stop bullying. Sulli, I hope that you’re now in a better place. A place where you can finally be yourself. You don’t deserve what society did to you, and society doesn’t deserve you. You smiled even though you were going through tough times, and you laughed even though what we had said hurt you. You really are an angel sent by God, but we were all too ignorant and involved in our little world to see it. I miss you, and you will forever remain in my heart.”

Sulli was quite prominent in her sphere and was one of the better-known celebrities in K-pop. Many have stepped forward to express their condolences, and the incident has managed to take the music world by storm.

Sadly, it is far from the only similar case in the K-pop world, as the scene continues to be plagued by many problems related to the well-being of the singers and other stars involved.

Some have even suggested that a more drastic approach might be needed to address the situation for good, though it is not clear what that might be

In any case, many have expressed their hopes that the incident will not have any similar follow-ups, as has happened in this industry at some points in the past.

The K-pop world is going through yet another tragedy, after renowned singer Sulli, whose real name is Choi Jin-ri, was found dead earlier this week.

The 25-year-old was discovered on the floor of her own home near Seoul, and the exact circumstances of the death remain unclear for now, but several media outlets point to suicide.

She was very open about her struggles with her mental health issues and spoke about the fact that she had panic disorders at a young age.

While on the reality TV show, Jinri Store, she confessed: “Even close people left me. I was hurt by them and felt there was nobody who understands me, which made me fall apart.”

The young singer hit stardom in 2009 as a member of K-pop group, f(x), and decided to go solo after the release of the group’s fourth album, 4 Walls, in 2015.

Authorities have released a statement saying that the “Goblin” singer had not responded to any phone calls for a long time, and she was last contacted on Sunday successfully before she was discovered.

Seongnam Sujeong Police Department had this to say: “[Sulli] seemed to have lived alone in the house, and no signs of a struggle or forced entry has been identified to suggest homicide. The investigation is ongoing, and we won’t make presumptions about the cause of death.”
