My Take
Sulli is, to me, a figure who matters far more than the idol label suggests. A Busan-born child actress turned singer, model and actress, she carried real talent, yet I keep thinking about the weight she was made to bear under relentless public scrutiny. Her death in 2019 at just 25 remains one of the most sobering stories in modern K-pop. I'd rather remember her not only for the smile she projected but for the conversation she forced about how cruelly young performers can be treated. She deserved gentleness she rarely got, and that lingers with me.
