Sunye Hopes People Will Not Rely On Medicine For Mental Illness, Mourns Loss of Sulli
Former Wonder Girls member Sunye posted a message on her Instagram in hopes to help others who are going through a hard time.
Her post included a photo of white flowers and a message that read,
A friend who was good enough just the way she was, shining and beautiful, has left behind a sad footprint. My heart aches at the reality that I was not able to do anything…it is saddening to think that there are many people who are enduring the same pain…especially those who are in the entertainment industry. Although there is nothing that I can do to help…I hope that those in pain will have the courage to share the pain as I will always be open to listen. Psychotropic drugs are never an emergency exit for the pain. Please do not think that there is no other choice…we will continue to remember this sad footprint that has been left behind.
Sunye was the former leader and main vocalist of the girl group, Wonder Girls. She left the group in 2013 just before marrying her husband James Park. She gave birth to her third daughter this past January.
Sulli was found at her Seongnam house on October 14. Police later confirmed that Sulli had passed. Results from the autopsy revealed that there were no signs of homicide.
