I really love to dream. I don’t know what you all dream at night, but I don’t have nightmares. I usually have happy dreams. Interestingly, I go to these specific towns. They only exist in my dreams. But they seem so real. In one town there’s this elderly woman. I go there and we chat. In another town I have a friend. I go there and we wander around until I drift further in to find a rural village. I know all the geographies of the towns. But I can’t go whenever I want. These dreams just happen and I realize, “Oh, I’ve come back!”

Director: “Do you think idols need a union?”

“Of course they do. I’m pissed, we definitely need one. I don’t feel people think celebrities are human. They don’t see us as humans. When I started out in the entertainment business, there was one thing people wouldn’t stop telling me, which I didn’t think was absurd back then: “You are a product. You need to be the finest, top-quality product to the public. That’s what you are.” Even when they didn’t say I was a product, everyone treated me like one. I had to be what they wanted me to be. I had to fear losing my product value. For one thing, in my case, I couldn’t give voice to my opinions. I didn’t know how to speak up. I didn’t even know if I could at all. When I did speak up about my difficulties, the system wasn’t going to change. Nobody told me “make your own choice”, “it’s up to you”, “what do you think”, “How are you these days” I sound like I’m bad-mouthing K-pop. You know Nikita? It’s just like that movie. We were basically puppets. Who cares if I’m exhausted?”

Choi Jin Ri, you were absolutely right. Idols need to unionize. Things have only gotten worse.

#sulli #choi jinri #choi jin ri #f(x)#i hope you're resting peacefully

You were the purest soul, my dear. Know that you will never be really gone, you will always be remembered with all the love and pride for the wonderful human being you were.

I hope we can meet someday so I can tell you how much I love and admire you.

In the meantime, I will try to accept that I will only feel your presence with me along this path, guiding me and encouraging me to move forward.

You... You were always an angel.

Happy birthday, pretty girl Jinri! 🍑

If there's a good person who does not repent and a bad person who often repents, who's more likely to enter heaven? I think God will love the latter more. There must be sin for God to have meaning. Beings without sin cannot know God, since they don't need to know.

'Dear Jinri' bears witness to late K-pop singer's truth

BUSAN, South Korea

A new documentary featuring a late K-pop star's final interview unveils complex truths about South Korea's notoriously brutal music industry while highlighting her defiance of pressure to conform to societal norms.

"Dear Jinri", which premiered at the Busan International Film Festival, revolves around singing star Sulli's last Netflix project, an unfinished film that included an in-depth interview.

Born Choi Jin-ri, Sulli took her own life in 2019 at age 25, after a long struggle with online bullying. The interview in the film -- raw, powerful and heartbreaking -- has never been previously seen.

What Sulli shares in that conversation raises "many critical issues in our society," director Jung Yoon-suk said after the film's BIFF screening Saturday evening.

"These can be seen as issues related to women, or they could be problems concerning the vulnerable in our society, or related to matters of equality," he said.

Sulli, who began her career as a child actress at age 11, made her debut in 2009 for f(x), which quickly became one of K-pop's top girl groups.

Known for behaviour considered controversial in South Korea -- including refusing to wear a bra in public -- she faced relentless online bullying and was frequently targeted by sexually abusive comments.

The film also explores the singer's lonely childhood and battles with self-perception as a woman in a world that can be intensely focused on appearance.

"Since you are born as a pretty woman, you don't have to know anything," Sulli says she was told.

But, she adds: "It's obnoxious to say your life was hard because you are a pretty woman."

The well-documented pressures of the K-pop world are also spotlighted, with Sulli explaining how she was told her goal was to be "the highest quality product".

She likens her experience to that of the protagonist in Luc Besson's 1990 "La Femme Nikita", who undergoes rigorous and vicious training to become a programmed assassin, completely cut off from the outside world.

It seemed as if people "couldn't recognize that we were human beings", Sulli says in the film.

The interview is punctuated by frequent pauses as the camera lingers silently on its subject, the pain and sorrow palpable on her face.

Audible sobs from the audience could be heard throughout the screening.

Suicide is the leading cause of death among South Koreans aged 10 to 39 and occurs at an unusually high rate, official figures show.

Several other young K-pop stars have died of suspected suicide in recent years, including Goo Hara, Jonghyun and Moonbin. The incidents have prompted calls for increased mental health support for young people in the industry.

Sulli's response to director Jung's question about the online bullying she endured -- specifically, her decision to grant legal forgiveness to one of the perpetrators -- is arguably one of the most poignant and revealing scenes in the movie.

She also candidly discusses feminism -- a topic still controversial in socially conservative South Korea -- saying she "rooted for women who spoke out", even when their views did not align with hers.

In the end, the film paints a portrait of a contemplative, resilient figure who, in the ways she could, resisted the pressure to conform, striving instead to forge her own understanding of the world and her place in it.

The film takes its title from Sulli's legal name, Jin-ri, which means truth in Korean.

"It was incredibly important to view this person not just as a celebrity or an idol, but as someone who possesses self-awareness as an artist," Jung said. "It seemed like the movie would be meaningful as the truth itself, just as (her) name implies."

It’s been over a week. A whole week since the news come out. News about Sulli. I still can’t believe what happened. Everyday is so hard. There was not one day that I haven’t cried at least twice because of that. This is so hard. Why? Why is it so hurtful to loose someone? Why does it hurt so much even though I didn’t really knew her? But I knew she was an angel. Truly. I have never been so hurt over someone I didn’t knew in real life but her death hurts so much. I feel so empty knowing what happened. I feel so sad. I feel so hopeless. I feel so defeated. She was the strongest, kindest and purest person. She was so unapologetic about who she was and how she felt, so open about so many things and in return she was hated so much she took her own life. I still can’t believe what happened. In my head there is still thought of hope that it was a stunt of sort and she’s really alive but away and resting from the hurting. But I also know it’s not true. She’s gone. Truly gone. Hopefully in better place where she’s happy, where she will never be hurt again. Where she can smile freely and her smile, the purest one in the world, doesn’t hide her sadness and loneliness. I hope you are better my dear. Never have I before grieve for someone I didn’t knew and never will I do again. You were the only one. I’m so sorry for all the hate and venom you have endured throughout your life. Rest peacefully now my angel.

TW: neglect, death. We all need love and need to love.

Dear Choi Jinri,

You were loved and fantasized by your fans at how tall you were when you were so young. You were the visual of the group and you always carried a smile to your face. You carried on new tasks without a problem and still continue to strive for new achievements in life. You were shaped to how people wanted you to be and you tried to do what was best for others.

You moved onto newer and beautiful things. You grew up and realized that your mind is shaped by the things around you: what made you curious, what made you love things more, what made you detest things, and for that, you learned to be you. You were then shaped by how you wanted to be but and you tried to do what was best for yourself.

You fell in love in all sorts of relationships, you fell in love with different areas of art that you didn’t think you’d be interested in. You also learned to accept yourself, the natural gift you were born with and the everlasting beauty you had that you were confident in. You strive for independence, beauty, creativity, love, feminism. But all those things were not what people wanted you to be.

They wanted you to be the Nation’s daughter. They wanted you to “fit in.” They never wanted you to branch out to new things. They never wanted you to test your curious mind to figure out more of yourself. They wanted you to be hidden. But not hidden from what the world could do to you... but from what you could do to the world. You had so much potential, but they were scared you were changing how female should act; that we should hide our empowerment. They were afraid of you falling in love with anybody you see, but couldn’t see that you were just in love with anyone who deserved to be loved and cared for.

People were scared but for the wrong reasons.

From now, until forever, you have always changed things. You have always challenged people. It’s just heartbreaking that your last challenge happened when you were consistently getting hurt by strangers. They say we shouldn’t take advice from people we would never go to, but it’s difficult when people placed their image onto you.

We love you and until next time, we cannot wait to see what the future holds for you, Choi Jinri.
