Sulli, whose real name is Choi Jin-ri, first found fame as a child actress on the 2005 drama Ballad of Seodong before debuting in K-pop girl group f(x) in 2009.
She took a year-long hiatus from the band in 2014 after enduring a barrage of hate comments online about her personal life.
Even up until her death, Sulli continued to be a target for cyberbullies, who often berated her clothing choices and her decision to appear braless in pictures.
She was discovered dead at her home on October 14 at 3.21pm KST by her manager, who went over to check up on her after she stopped replying to text messages.
Police have confirmed that her death was by suicide.
Sulli’s former agency SM Entertainment put out an official statement saying that the funeral will be held privately at an undisclosed location.
“The mourners and family do not want this. We ask reporters to understand with a generous heart.
“We ask that you cooperate so that Sulli's last journey will be beautiful,” read the statement.
