In the past few days, the news of Sulli's passing had shook the K-Pop industry and once again, there are many people who began to look into the dark side of K-Pop.
Veteran K-Pop group, Shinhwa's member, DongWan shared his thoughts on the incident through a post on his Instagram account.

Translating DongWan's post, he said that when an athlete suffers from a ligament injury, he or she is advice to undergo surgery treatment even if rehabilitation treatment is one of the options too. The reason behind is because of how a treatment period is included in their contract. Seeing how there are more media outlets and celebrities out there, it seemed as if they are forced to do more. The young celebrities are not eating properly and they are not sleeping properly too. However, they have to put up a bright smile for those adults who are expecting them to do so. They expect them to be sexy but not have sex and to be tough but not fight with anyone.
DongWan also shared that there are many of his juniors who are contemplating how much of an illness they want to have in their heart in order to exchange for money and reputation.
There are also many thesis and reports which showed how convenient and fast psychoactive drugs are and the side effects of taking them. DongWan emphasised that people should no longer watch how they (those who are suffering) are offered with drugs just because they requested by themselves or because they are looking for a quick solution. Adding on, he also mentioned that people should also stop overlooking how large agencies are being complacent as they would become a contagious disease which could be spread even without physical contact.
Seeing his post, there were many netizens who agreed with him and shared their opinions on an online community.

One commented that "This is probably the words that many could relate this year. To be sexy but not have sex, to be tough but not fight... They expect them to be sexy and tough at the same time but they cannot date or express themselves. When dating scandals break out, people curse out at them and there is no proper law against those who write those comments. All of this had happened to the passed Sulli".
Another also shared that there was an interview by DongWan which he mentioned that the culture of sexualising female celebrities should be gone but after a few years, nothing had changed.
Some also applauded his wise words on Instagram.
On Oct. 14, SM Entertainment had confirmed that Sulli had passed away and police are still investigating the cause.
