On her sad dismissal, in a statement, SM Entertainment, Sulli’s agency, said her death was “very hard to believe and sorrowful”.
A representative for the agency wrote: “We are sorry for having to deliver such sad and regrettable news. Sulli has left us.”
“We cannot believe the current situation, and we are struck with grief,” they continued, adding the request that articles containing unconfirmed rumors not be published out of respect of the grieving family.
The agency concluded its press statement by expressing their deep condolences.
Her first solo album, Goblin, was launched earlier this year in June, as she resumed her music career in 2018 after a three-year break.
The 25-year-old got her start as a child actor and had been pursuing a solo career. Reportedly, the K-pop star was battling severe depression and had spoken out against cyber-bullying in the past.
She had been a member of the popular K-pop band F(x) but left in 2015 to focus on her acting and solo singing career. It is also reported that the pop singer had suspended her music career due to the abuse she had received since September.
