Sulli passed away 6 years ago, leaving behind 90 billion in assets, family fights over inheritance

Until now, every time Sulli 's story is mentioned, many viewers cannot help but choke up. She passed away at such a young age, tragedy upon tragedy, exposing the dark side and loneliness behind the halo.

The name Sulli (Choi Jin-ri) has always left a painful void in the hearts of Kpop fans. Six years after her death, it was thought that the female singer would rest in peace, but the story about the huge fortune she left behind has turned into a fierce inheritance dispute within her own family, leaving many viewers choked up and angry.

Sulli: Early blooming talent, surrounded by tragedy and a heartbreaking ending

Born in 1994, Sulli began her artistic career very early, at the age of 11, joining the "training furnace" SM Entertainment under the guidance of her mother. With her pure beauty, singing talent in the group f(x) and natural acting ability, she quickly became one of the most sought-after faces in the Korean entertainment industry. In 2012, Sulli made a big splash when she took on the lead role in the youth drama "To the Beautiful You", not even hesitating to cut her hair short to fully immerse herself in the role.

However, along with fame comes invisible pressure from many sides. Sulli struggled with loneliness from her family, strict control from her management company, and especially social prejudices, malicious comments, and online bullying from the public. She, a symbol of rebellion and outspokenness, once bravely fought for the right to "live as herself". Sulli did not hesitate to publicly express her personal views, from not wearing a bra to strongly speaking out against public discrimination. However, it was this courage and desire to live authentically that made her the target of cyber violence, having to endure immense pressure from a harsh entertainment industry and a society that still has many prejudices.

The culmination of the tragedy was the sudden passing of Sulli at the age of 25, a huge shock not only to the Korean entertainment industry but also to the whole of Asia. Sulli's death is said to be the result of a long period of struggling with severe depression, aggravated by the heavy pressure from malicious comments and relentless cyber violence.

90 billion property dispute: The pain has not yet subsided, but tragedy has piled up

Just three months after Sulli's heartbreaking passing in October 2019, when the grief and shock had not yet subsided, the Korean and international public were once again outraged by news of a dispute over her inheritance. It is estimated that the assets that Sulli left behind amounted to 5 billion won (about 90 billion VND), a huge amount accumulated from many years of her persistent artistic activities, from singing, acting, to advertising contracts, song copyrights, and television dramas.

To complicate matters, Sulli’s parents were divorced. Sulli died without leaving a will. Under Korean law, the deceased’s assets are divided among family members in order of priority. This has sparked an endless dispute between the parties, exposing deep family conflicts.

The online community exploded with a wave of intense anger when information about Sulli’s property dispute was revealed. While fans and the public are still mourning a life that was too short and full of pain, her blood relatives, especially her parents, are accused of not caring or having a deep attachment to Sulli when she was alive, and did not even visit her grave.

Harsh criticism was aimed at those who were said to value money more than family affection, especially when the deceased was a young girl who had suffered a lot from her family and the harsh entertainment industry. Some bitter, bitter comments were spread on social media: "Outsiders are crying, but biological parents are counting their assets." This not only increased the pain for fans but also created a negative image of greed and indifference in family relationships.
