Sulli’s Brother Names the One Celebrity Who Truly Helped Her, Just Before Kim Soo-hyun Speaks Out

Sulli’s older brother, Mr. A, took to social media for a livestream just before actor Kim Soo-hyun’s press conference, expressing his frustration and sharing personal thoughts about the late singer and actress, as well as those involved in her life.

On March 31, Mr. A opened up about Sulli, Kim Soo-hyun, and Sulli’s ex-boyfriend, 'Choiza', during a livestream with fans. He explained that he went live after hearing that Kim’s press conference would not include a Q&A session, which he found upsetting. Mr. A previously alleged that Sulli had been misled by 'Kim Soo-hyun' during the filming of the 2017 movie 'Real', where she ended up filming a nude scene. According to him, even though a body double was present on set, Sulli was pressured to perform the scene herself and struggled emotionally because of it.

He also reflected on the hardships Sulli experienced during her life. When a fan asked if there was anyone in the entertainment industry who had supported Sulli, he mentioned, “I believe 'IU' was emotionally helpful to Sulli, especially as an artist who inspired her.”

Sulli and IU were known to be close friends, having co-hosted the music show Inkigayo together. IU even wrote the song 'Peach' for Sulli. In a past interview on SHINee’s late member Jonghyun’s MBC FM4U radio show, IU said, “Sulli was the most beautiful woman around me,” and shared that she wrote 'Peach' from the perspective of a man thinking about her. Sulli later confirmed on MBC’s Radio Star that the song was indeed written for her, adding, “My fans call me 'Peach'.”

'Choiza', a member of Dynamic Duo and Sulli’s former boyfriend, was also mentioned during the livestream. When asked if Sulli had suffered because of him, Mr. A responded, “A lot. But that’s something personal between them, and I don’t think it needs to be brought into this current matter.” He emphasized that there was no need to involve Choiza in the ongoing controversy.

Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun recently faced allegations about having dated actress 'Kim Sae-ron' when she was still a minor. In response, his side stated that their relationship began in the summer of 2019 and ended in the fall of 2020—after she had reached legal age.

During the press conference, Kim Soo-hyun addressed the claims, stating, “I dated the late person for about a year, roughly four years before the drama 'Queen of Tears' aired.” He also denied the authenticity of a KakaoTalk conversation released as evidence of a relationship during Kim Sae-ron’s minor years, saying, “If the claims from the bereaved family are true, they should submit the materials to authorities for proper verification.”
