Sulli, RIP

News from Korea that Sulli, an ex-member of K-pop girl group f(x), committed suicide.

I followed Sulli on Instagram for awhile, before I unfollowed a bunch of people. It does appear that social media abuse played a large part in her suicide; she received a lot of criticism for not behaving like a regular "idol" star. The lack of attention on mental health and super toxic online community in Korea contributes to having one of the highest rates of suicide in a developed country. Sad.

I hope she finally found peace.
