SONG QIAN

There is something so dark and twisted to me about what happened to Sulli and how also SM managed to sabotage one of its most popular girl groups with absolutely no explanation whatsoever... There were members leaving groups before in SM, so it does not make sense why they kept them under a contract for years and not allow them to have a comeback. What happened to Sulli and f(x) is so mysterious to me. It's the way Sulli was failed to be protected or helped when she was spiraling mentally. Nobody as we batted an eye at how she ended up dating a man she met as a teenager and was being groomed, yet he never got persecuted the same way she did. It's how f(x), despite 4 walls being successful, and still wanted to release music as a group, slowly lost their excitement about the idea of a comeback and instead started showing sad expressions and disappointment whenever their fans asked when will a album be released. To top it all off, the group weren't even officially disbanded by SM. They just left as soon as their contracts was up and that was it.
