Sulli’s older brother has ignited controversy by publicly revealing private details about the late star’s relationships and connections in the entertainment industry. His claims, which include allegations about Sulli’s past romantic partners and colleagues, have sparked intense backlash online.
On April 2, Sulli’s brother posted a series of statements on social media, directly naming several celebrities linked to his sister. Among those mentioned were actor Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Sa Rang (also known as Lee Ro Be), YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, and Kim Sae Ron’s former manager. He also referenced late stars Goo Hara and Kim Sae Ron, further fueling online debate.
Claims About P.O. and Choiza
One of the most shocking allegations was that Sulli had dated Block B member P.O. before she was in a relationship with Dynamic Duo’s Choiza. His statement immediately caught the public’s attention, leading to speculation about the validity of the claim.
P.O.’s agency, Artist Company, responded briefly to the allegations, stating that they could not confirm anything as it was a personal matter. The agency did not elaborate further, leaving fans and netizens to speculate about the claims.
During a live broadcast, Sulli’s brother also discussed Choiza, reigniting past discussions about Sulli’s controversial relationship with the rapper. Many netizens questioned his motives for bringing up these personal matters years after his sister’s passing.
Public Backlash Over Personal Revelations
Sulli’s brother did not stop at discussing her love life. He also made statements regarding IU, claiming that she had turned down the lead role in the 2017 film Real and instead suggested that Sulli take on the part. This comment once again placed IU in the spotlight regarding her friendship with Sulli.
While some online users expressed sympathy for Sulli’s brother, others criticized him for publicly disclosing private details about the late star’s life. Many questioned whether Sulli would have wanted her personal relationships and professional choices to be exposed.
Comments from netizens included, “Would Sulli have wanted this?” and “It’s unsettling to see someone freely disclosing the past of someone who is no longer here.” Others called him out for dragging Sulli’s close friends and industry colleagues into unnecessary controversy.
Despite the growing backlash, Sulli’s brother has not retracted his statements. However, his revelations continue to stir discussions across social media, with many debating whether his actions are justified or an invasion of the late idol’s privacy.
As the controversy unfolds, both fans and industry insiders await further developments, particularly regarding any potential legal actions or clarifications from the celebrities mentioned.
