Tbh didn't know Daum comment section was that popular. We rarely get translated articles from it for idols. It's mostly Naver....or small forums like pann, nate, etc...

Nate is not a small forum, it's a search engine and the 3rd biggest portal in SK. Pann is Nate's community

MBC News reported early this morning that the Western media's coverage of Sulli's death is putting extra pressure on South Korea's government to overhaul the law around cyberbullying. 

These are just some of the many articles

CNN - Death of K-pop star Sulli prompts outpouring of grief and questions over cyber-bullying

New York Times - Sulli, South Korean K-Pop Star and Actress, Is Found Dead

Associated Press - South Korean pop star Sulli found dead at her home

Variety - K-Pop Industry Mourns Sulli

 Victoria halted her drama filming in China to head to Korea for Sulli's funeral.

On October 16, Chinese media outlet Sina reported Victoria cried on the set of her drama, and she flew to Korea a day later than she wanted due to visa issues.

Sina stated, "According to the other actors who were on set to film a drama with Victoria, Victoria burst out in tears after hearing about the death, and she looked confused and disordered. She tried to fly to Korea day earlier, but because of visa issues, she went to Beijing from Shanghai, where her drama filming was, and departed to Korea on the night of the 15th."

*I won't include the photos of Vic from the airport. It's in the source if you want to see 

I don't think many knew about this since international news sites have omitted further details about the manager who found Sulli's body. 

Anyway, Joongang Daily has reported

Sulli’s younger brother, who is also her manager, found her body and contacted police. According to Seongnam police, the singer appears to have died in an apparent suicide, although investigations are ongoing.

Sulli's brother had been trending on Naver for 5 hours following news of an autopsy request by the police.

It’s not reliable. Apparently the guy that runs it was involved in some social media manipulation involving Park Geun Hye. 

Do you have a link regarding that? that got me curious 

Korean society's outrageous standards for female idols to the point of driving them to isolation is extremely dangerous and should be addressed not only by idol companies but basically the media themselves. The media often provides breeding ground for hatred, basically giving people a reason to hate on these celebrities just for being who they are. SM should also reinforce their support system for their artists to help anyone who is struggling. 

Did Björk inspire her in any way

SM can not fully prevent nasty netizens from spreading hate comments completely, but it seems pretty clear that they aren't providing a safe space for their artists where they can feel like their concerns and issues are being heard and are important

What you said is very important. There's only so much anyone can do about hate commenters, hell not even the government can censor those people. But it's still necessary for any company to give their artists a strong support system that can guide them whenever things get extremely difficult. Active social support helps people cope better and have a sense of belonging rather than them feeling like they're battling it alone.  It's really upsetting that those measures were not taken for Sulli. 

Seulgi's toned thighs is life

She's inspired by FKA Twigs and Grimes

Seulgi really brings the heat

The Bomb Maker - Thomas Perry. An impulsive purchase. I thought the title was more in a figurative way but it really does cover the actual bombmaking. It's such a great read 

Oh ok got it. I see it now thank you both for your help!

Can a mod help me put my vid in my profile. I've been trying to put the link in the youtube section in the settings but it's not working

Binge watching OPM. Can't wait for Overlord 2
