Sulli’s Brother Expresses Disappointment
In a separate development, also reported on April 2, Sulli’s brother expressed his disappointment following Kim Soo Hyun’s press conference.
“Kim Soo Hyun attended my sister’s funeral,” he said.
“But I wonder if he truly had the authority to be there. It seemed like he was just following orders (implying that his attendance was arranged by his management team).”
He further added:
“I felt that Kim Soo Hyun was uncomfortable, as if someone had sent him there. The funeral hall was in the basement, so not many people saw him. No fans were allowed inside, and there were more than 20 security guards present. Why would such a space make him uncomfortable?”
When fans asked why Sulli participated in the controversial movie “Real”, her brother responded:
“I don’t know why Sulli agreed to the role. Where was the stunt double? Was there one? Why did director Lee Jung Sub leave the project?”
