Sulli, whose real name is Choi Jin-ri, was a member of the f(x), a South Korean girl group formed by SM Entertainment. She had taken a year-long hiatus from the band in 2014, after being a subject of hurtful online comments and rumours.

Sulli has acted in a few popular Korean drama series, with the latest being Hotel del Luna, alongside Lee Ji-eun and Yeo Jin-goo. She also released a new single “Goblin” in June, with mixed reactions from her fans, who thought she had retired from the industry.
