A Netflix original film featuring the late Korean singer and actress Sulli, a project which has been much anticipated by fans since her tragic death in 2019, has been granted its mandatory age certification by The Korea Media Rating Board. This crucial step typically signals an impending release, and the film, titled "Persona: Sulli," is now officially approved for viewers aged 15 and above.

“Persona: Sulli" is an omnibus film, a collection of four separate but interconnected short films by different directors, each exploring different genres but unified by Sulli's central performance. The film's total runtime is an estimated 2 hours and 10 minutes.

This film is the sequel to the original "Persona" which was released in 2019. The first installment followed a similar format, featuring four short films, each highlighting the acting talents of popular Korean singer and actress IU.

News of the forthcoming release of “Persona: Sulli" began circulating last month when Netflix announced that discussions regarding the film's release were ongoing. The speculation was further fueled when "Persona" starring Sulli was introduced on Netflix Brazil’s catalog for upcoming content. The news has reignited anticipation among Sulli's fans who have been longing for another opportunity to see their idol on screen.

Born Choi Jin-ri, but known professionally as Sulli, the singer and actress first made her mark in the entertainment industry in 2005. She later gained widespread recognition as part of the popular K-pop girl group f(X). However, she tragically took her own life in 2019 at the age of 25.

Sulli's death prompted a nationwide conversation in South Korea about the brutal online harassment faced by many celebrities. She had been a frequent target of cyberbullying due to her defiance of social norms, such as going braless in public, openly discussing her romantic relationships, and livestreaming casual drinking sessions with friends. Her death was poignantly referred to as a "murder by fingertips," highlighting the severe impact of online vitriol on her mental health.

The release of "Persona: Sulli" promises not only to offer a posthumous tribute to the late star's talent but also to reignite discussions around the pressures and scrutiny faced by individuals in the public eye.
