Late Sulli’s family breaks silence “We demand a statement from Kim Soo Hyun and director”
The bereaved family of the late Sulli has finally spoken out. They are calling for statements from actor Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang (also known as Lee Robe), who directed the film 'Real,' which the late Sulli participated in.
On the 28th, Sulli’s older brother (referred to as Mr. A) issued a statement to the press, saying, “Over the past six years, we have spent our time in deep sorrow and tears, but we have also felt immense gratitude thanks to the support and consideration of many people.”
He added, “We could no longer ignore the death of the late Kim Sae Ron or treat it as if it were not our concern,” and offered his deep condolences to the bereaved family of Kim Sae Ron. Mr. A demanded that Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Sa Rang express their positions.
He raised the following key points.
He claimed to have learned from staff and actors at the funeral that the bed scene between Kim Soo Hyun and Sulli was not originally detailed in the script, and asked for Kim Soo Hyun’s explanation.
He stated that during filming, a body double was supposed to be present for Sulli’s nude scenes, and questioned why a body double was not used, and why Sulli was persuaded and allegedly forced into filming the bed and nude scenes.
He also disputed the explanation that the body double was absent due to illness on the day of shooting the bed and nude scenes, citing accounts from funeral attendees who said the double was actually on set, and demanded clarification from both Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Sa Rang.
Mr. A emphasized, “Although we learned a lot at Sulli’s funeral, we are limiting our questions to these three key facts and earnestly ask for sincere responses.”
He also reportedly sent a letter to the Korea Celebrity Suicide Prevention Association, saying he wished the bereaved family of Kim Sae Ron could receive a genuine apology and the truth. He criticized YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, who allegedly denied the issues and attacked the bereaved family, expressing hope that the family could find some relief.
Mr. A also conveyed his willingness to meet the family of Kim Sae Ron at any time to share in their pain, if they so wished.
Kwon Young Chan, director of the Korea Celebrity Suicide Prevention Association, said, “Though it’s late, we once again offer our sincere condolences to the bereaved family of the late Sulli,” and added, “We hope people will stop insulting and harassing the family of the late Kim Sae Ron with malicious comments.”
Mr. A has recently posted multiple messages directly criticizing Kim Soo Hyun. On the 28th, he posted on Instagram, “Six years since I lost my sister, six years since you toyed with her, six years of pain awaiting you—please don’t fall apart too soon.”
On the 21st, he also commented on rumors involving Kim Soo Hyun and the late Kim Sae Ron’s alleged underage relationship, saying, “My life, your life, everyone’s life is like ‘Real.’ It’s utter darkness.”
'Real,' released in 2017, was a film in which the late Sulli and Kim Soo Hyun co-starred. Director Lee Sa Rang co-founded Gold Medalist, Kim Soo Hyun’s current agency. In the film, Sulli took on scenes involving a high level of exposure.
According to Sulli’s family, after appearing in 'Real,' she said, “I’ll never shoot another movie again,” and had to undergo psychiatric treatment due to the mental stress it caused her.

Why though!? You would think if he wanted the 700k so badly, they would be trying to help her find jobs to pay them back.
But, no. He did the opposite. He was actively trying to stop her from making money. He never wanted her to have the financial means to pay him back, but yet, he was pressuring her for the money.
There is something so scary and fishy about this. It's like he was actively trying to push her into a corner to make a bad decision. I don't know if the end goal was for her to exit this world in the way she did, or maybe something even worse. Scary.
He was trying to silence her forever either by ruining (and blackmail) her image and life, so she can't be taken seriously by anyone or by suicide. He is a narcissistic psycho

I don't think the OP is wrong, but I don't think it's something you write on an artist's page. I think it's disrespectful to have a comment like that on their own page. I feel an artist seeing a comment like this is not good for their mental health, and we've seen how idols say they read comments
I hope she leaves the black label because her career should've been so much more. She should be an active artist and not an influencer. I sometimes wonder if she would have been better off staying at jyp and being a member of Itzy. She wouldn't have as much freedom today, but she would have an active music career.
Being in ITZY would have meant her body hurting immensely from all the dancing. We saw how ITZY basically said they are always in pain and health in my opinion is worth much more. Also, there is no gurantee that she wouldn't suddwnly have gotten a lot of haters or that she would do well solo after/during the time she was in a group

Considering Jinni had that "attitude scandal" during online fan video calls, I think JYPE had a problem with her attitude and there is like others said the relationship rumour and rumours about NMIXX fighting with each other a lot (and according to one rumour she was one of the biggest causes for this and taking her out the group lead to the ones siding with her to listen more to the leader etc.). Whether it is true or not, I do think groups in JYPE get treated worse than we think, including NMIXX, but I don't think Jinni was removed for something which was out of her control or because she was mistreated. Usually if you get kicked out for something out of your control you are very thankful for your fans and try to do almost everything to make them stay with you. Her behaviour during fan calls doesn't show this

It is obvious which member it is. Also, they are all or the majority including her seem to be minors. The member she does not name is also the youngest and only 15. Naming her would lead to more stress for her

There you have it!
Yeah yeah. You think I am a Hybe stan or whatever. Hybe sucks, barely any of their idols can sing, they use mental health concepts to gain cheap points with westerners, they are greedy af and BSH should not be allowed near women with him paying for prostitutes. I am not a fan of any Hybe group and the company is definitely not nice. I always said there is no way backmail wasn't involved for some members in making BTS re-sign with them, but as a business Hybe is sojngw hat most would do in that position, just their PR is extremely bad and BSH is pathetic for wanting every successful group to be his own to the point he treated NJ worse than other groups. I am still not naive enough to not think that there is not a second option for NJ being already prepared in the background

I saw articles stating they would need ro pay over 200 mio. dollars to terminate their contracts. This is an insane amount, which would be hard for them to pay, if they get ordered ro do it considering they also need fundings for their group comebacks etc. and the company also takes a cut. Even top groups would struggle to earn that, if the company takes a cut and they all want to earn money too
-
Isn't it more like this that it will depend on if Hybe bought the whole song with all the rights for it including that no one outside of Hybe can reuse it or if they only bought the rights to use the song and the writers still maintain most of the rights? If Hybe did legally everything well, NJ would bee unable to re-record it unless Hybe let's then buy it. If Hybe nessed up NJ can pay the writers to re-record the songs

where did you get this source?
https://theqoo.net/hot/3485259954 liek someone else said it was Hyein. I wasn't sure about it being Hanni, which is why I put the question mark. And he was a canidate to be a board member according to the report and not already one, I just remembered it wrong. NJ denied it

I have seen a lot of comments mainly expecting Somin because she was leader for her time in April, to take responsibility for the actions of everyone in her group even if it does turn out she was not directly attacking her. Which is a little ick as she does not control her members 1000%, now I do agree if she saw something and did not say anything, or was directly one of the ones who was the start of it, that is a huge problem.
So far though the kpop census especially on Reddit and social media is that she may not have done the bullying herself but it was "her job" to stop it all, and if she did not successfully do so then it is her fault everyone else is falling apart now. Which I do not know if I completely agree with, yes as a leader she can disapprove of their behavior and ask them to stop but she does not get the final say so in what happens as repercussions etc. DSP does.
Why do you think the company would remove one member who is the leader from an already debuted group just to debut her in another? Such a thing points often to them being a problem in the group. It is not always the case but removing the leader and placing them in another group is almost unheard of. There were also rumours a few years ago before the April scandal (I haven't kept up with Somin to be fair) that she is not getting along well with the other girl in Kard now but as I said I don't keep up with them and not getting along does not mean she is or was bullying the other girl.
There still could be a chance she was removed because her image didn't fit with April but considering all the things happening in April I doubt she didn't knew about the bullying. She can't control everyone in the group but I doubt DSP would, after knowing the group has some problems, remove a person who (if she did nothing bad) is probably the only one being half-way nice to Hyunjoo or at least keeping things civil in the group just to debut her in another group, when they can find another trainee to debut instead. This would be DSP asking for more conflicts in the group, if Somin was a more neutral or mature force and she got removed.
Here was an anonymous post being discussed here (but it is an anonymous account, which you can choose to ignore or not, I just link it here so you can see why people critized Somin): She's (Somin) the only one trying to get out of the April scandal

Just adding for everyone not clicking on the link (I read a translation of it): someone feeling sorry for Hyunjoo leaked it. April sued Hyunjoo up until last year

I do believe there was bullying. Even Naeun's mother was mean to Hyunjoo on TV (!) and Naeun's sister got rumours too that she bullied others. From the way they treated and talked about her despite knowing that Hyunjoo attempted suicide it can be quite obvious imo that they bullied her. A normal human being wouldn't say that the person who tried to kill themselves is weak, especially not so openly, even if you dislike the person. A basic amount of empathy should make you at least second-guess if maybe yourself said or did something which wasn't nice (even if you did nothing wrong) and will make you shut up at least openly (to not harm the person further AND to protect one's own image by not being seen as the shameless cold person making fun of someone who tried to kill themselves).
Naeun's family, the diary entry of Naeun and the way April reacted to knowing Hyunjoo tried to committed suicide don't make me doubt that they definitely tried to make her feel bad on purpose. If you add the tumbler and the shoes incidents and that Hyunjoo was really popular on the show The Unit and her group members of that project group all really like her even until now, I doubt Hyunjoo was the problem. I do think it escalated because they were jealous she was allowed to go home a lot and from then on one or two members started being mean and the other ones followed and they all bounded over having a common enemy they feel that doesn't deserve to have the "privileges".
Naeun also profits a lot of a PR campaign right now. They try to get her back in the spotlight in a positive light since a year now. They even paid for her to attend a youtube show of a guy who (it seems like, I don't know him) was bullied and spoke up against bullying a lot and basically tried to make her seen like she wasn't a bully. Well, that guy lost his credibility and had to apologise for this. And all the things coming out in favour of April (and especially point out how good Naeun was to her members) suddenly and about for example staff members (I think it was a make up artist?) who shields April but at the same time talks like she was 24/7 there and knew what was going on even in their dorm etc. is just unbelievable. Naeun is under contract now of a famous actor agency and they try very hard to get her seen in a good light, so I wouldn't trust these random stories after all the things they literally showed themselves how they saw and treated Hyunjoo. April lost all 7 lawsuits and with every statement, where they wanted to defend themselves or get anyone else to defend them, they made themselves look even worse. I don't think I have ever seen a group looking worse each time they try to defend themselves as I saw with April

I hope she exits his life completely.
She joined the company he is under AFTER they broke up, so that will be impossible for a while. And she probably was already dating her new bf at the time she joined since she joined the company in November and revealed she is dating the trash in January. I don't know, either way it is weird of her to do this and let's not forget that they were rumours she was into him around the Change area and that Junhyung is also the ex boyfriend of Hara, who she knew for a while (whether they were friends or not, they did spend a while together on variety shows and considering Hara took her life over similar things her boyfriend admitted to watching, it feels icky)

she used to gain normal amount of followers until her starbucks tiktok. I remember she had like 19.8 M followers then went downhill after til now.
Why did it only affect her when we have other kpop acts working with BDS list?
I saw other also get backlash, but for just a temporary
I understand the sentiment but targetting a celebrity for working is not it
She is a soloist with (as someone said before) not a huge hardcore fandom protecting her and was one of the first ones the mob focused on, so they all have her in mind and see her as someone they have to destroy to be able to feel liek they have done something, while ignoring that others did such things too. Just like people remember that Chungha was the first kpop idol to get covid but can anyone remember who came after her (expect the like 3 friends she celebrated with)?
It is just like in school that when the first victim is picked by the bullies others will join to be part of the "community" too and to feel better about themselves, while ignoring that for whatever undeserving reason they picked the victim for, it applies to other people as well. But either they are so focused on disliking the victim that they don't see anyone else or make excuses for their friends (or in kpop their groups) who share the same "trait".
In a few months most will probably forget about it and she will gain followers again with a new comeback
I have not been in the April fandom for a few years 
Dude it seems these
