[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] A documentary revisiting the late broadcaster Sulli (real name Choi Jin-ri), who passed away last year, was aired, and malicious comments have been continuously posted on the social network service (SNS) of her former lover, singer Dynamic Duo's Choiza (real name Choi Jae-ho).

On the 10th, MBC's 'Docuplex' broadcasted footage of Sulli, formerly of the group f(x) and active as an actress, along with interviews from people around her during her lifetime.

In the broadcast, Sulli's mother, Kim Soo-jung, appeared and mentioned the romance between Choiza and Sulli. Kim said, referring to when the dating rumors were reported, "Only photos were taken, and I thought they were exaggerated," and later contacted her daughter directly to learn that it was true.

Kim revealed that there were frequent quarrels with Sulli over her romantic relationships. She explained, "She was very upset because I did not approve of the boyfriend she was seeing. She was quite hurt at that time."

She added, "Suddenly having a boyfriend who is 14 years older was like skipping several steps at once," and said, "The culture of going out, drinking, food culture, and patterns of conversation all changed. There was no middle process at all."

In particular, Kim said, "Until the dating rumors came out, the whole family was happy and good," indicating that the dating rumors had a negative impact on the family.

When Kim mentioned Choiza during the broadcast and said that malicious comments and mother-daughter relationship issues worsened, netizens poured criticism onto Choiza's Instagram account.

Netizens posted comments such as "Do you feel any moral responsibility?", "I really hate you," "I will boycott," and "It's sad. If they hadn't dated, they would probably be living well now."

Some netizens even posted excessive comments like "Are you human?", "Think of the malicious comments as repayment, not hate," and "Anyway, this person has no intention of doing XX."

Meanwhile, Choiza was also plagued by malicious comments at the time of Sulli's death last year. After Sulli passed away, he shared his feelings about her on his Instagram.
