Sulli has left for a faraway place
遠くへ旅立ったソルリ
★Sulli (Korean: 설리, real name: Choi Jin-ri/Choi Ji-ri (최진리, 崔眜り), March 29, 1994 - October 14, 2019) was a singer, actress, and talent from Busan, South Korea. Former member of the Korean idol group f(x).
SM Entertainment has announced the death of actress and singer Sulli (formerly of f(x)).
★We are sorry to deliver such sad and unfortunate news. Sulli has left. The current situation is so hard to believe, just heartbreaking. For the sake of the family, who are in the midst of grief over the sudden news of his passing, please refrain from writing articles based on rumours and speculation. We express our deepest condolences for the final path the deceased took.
★A police source said, "We are focusing our investigation on the extreme choices he made. We are looking into whether there was a document written as a suicide note."
Sulli made her debut as a child actress in 2005 in the SBS historical drama "Seo Dong Yo."
Sulli (aged 1-11 at the time) played the childhood version of Songhwa, the third princess of Silla, an enemy of Baekje.
The drama was directed by Lee Byung-hun, who is well-known for historical dramas such as "Jewel in the Palace," "Dong Yi," and "Yi San."
Based on the folk song "Seo Dong Yo," a love story said to have been written by King Mu of Baekje and a princess of an enemy country, the film depicts the pure love between the prince of Baekje and Princess Seonhwa, the third princess of the enemy country, and their fateful battle for the throne.
The story is a passionate love romance between the prince of Baekje and the princess of Silla, who are in love with each other, but Sulli, who plays Songhwa as a child, delivers an unexpected success.
Sulli's innocent and adorable acting charm must have made Lee Byung-hun and the other staff members jump for joy...
"It seems that Sulli has expressed a world that goes beyond acting.
I didn't expect it.
I felt that Songhwa's love was good in a traditional style, but portraying her with this kind of boldness in Sulli's style may actually resonate more with viewers at home..."
And so the original image of Songhwa was shelved(?)?
Sulli's image of Songhwa was the one that was adopted (I would like to think so).
The adorable yet bold image of Songhwa that Lee Bo-young inherited was not born from Sulli's desperate acting, but was something that was already seeping out of her sensibility...?
Sulli, who has been active as an actress and TV personality until recently, including her time with the girl group f(x), was most energetic when she was letting out her true self rather than on the music stage or on screen.
She was powerful and intense.
Since leaving f(x), Sulli has been a singer, actress and TV personality, but she has very few achievements in that field.
Perhaps Sulli has always been too Sulli-like, making it difficult for people in the entertainment industry to use her.
If she had not looked elsewhere and jumped into the world of girl groups, but had instead aimed straight for the path of acting from the time she debuted as a child actress, a different life (as an actress) might have opened up for Sulli.
She didn't perform on stage, she rarely appeared in movies or dramas, and she continued to send messages to random fans, even though she was wasting her beautiful looks.
What did she enjoy while spending her days like that?
To me, Sulli was a wild but very charming talent.

A certain day in September 2019
Sulli's message of thanks
Today marks the 14th anniversary of my debut.
I was so engrossed in my life that I forgot when I made my debut recently, and I was only looking forward.
But there are people who remember and congratulate me, and I feel grateful that they wholeheartedly support my life so far and my plans for the future. I was able to ease my mind from the many thoughts and take time to look back on the days of the past.
I have lived my life relying on the strength of others at every moment, and thanks to that, I was able to laugh and find courage. I don't think I live my life alone. Many people have been by my side, and we have created all of our precious times together.
I also want to be someone who can convey warmth to everyone. I want to say thank you to everyone, and I hope you will continue to support me in good times and bad.

You can't feel Sulli's true feelings from the above text.
If this Sulli was the real her, she would never have turned her back on this world.
Sulli passed away the day before yesterday.
Her heart may have grown cold long before that.
Sulli may have had friends to talk to about fun things and have fun with.
However, she probably didn't have any friends to talk to about her worries or hardships (Hara, who is older, is said to have looked up to her like an older sister).
I hope she has letters sent to someone (either an ordinary person or a fellow celebrity), but I feel like there probably isn't one other than Hara.
