Amid the scandal between Kim Soo Hyun and the late Kim Sae Ron about dating her as a minor, the late actress Sulli’s brother has come forward to the media to try and get answers from Kim Soo Hyun and his cousin regarding her nude scenes in Real.
Sulli’s brother demanded answers for three big issues, including the intimate scenes not being noted in the original script, the nude scene, and the absence of a body double in the first place.
With this, an online community post garnered attention as promotions for the movie resurfaced.
“Title: The Sulli emergency room rumors have been going around since November 2016
There were rumors that she was taken to the emergency room in a drunk state with cuts on her wrist. Her mom later appeared on TV and revealed that it was self-harm.
Her agency tried to cover it, saying it was an injury, and told her mom that they would take care of it by saying she got hurt.
But media outlet The Fact released an article about it with KakaoTalk messages, making it so that anyone could tell it was self-harm.
She started filming for the movie in June 2016 and articles about her nude scene without a body double began pouring out in early November. She went to the emergency room on November 24.”
The OP revealed that more than 99% of the results based on searching the movie Real consisted of nudity, kissing scenes, bed scenes, and Sulli’s nude scene videos being leaked.
They promoted the movie using low-quality viral methods.

The bereaved family also mentioned that Sulli’s mental state was so bad to the point that she said she would never film again after this movie.
On November 24, an article about Sulli being taken to the emergency room for a wrist injury was reported. However, it was revealed that the article first reported her wrist was torn 5 cm, but was changed to an injury the next day.
With this, many netizens felt that this movie should’ve never been released.
- “Geez…how many people…it’s. hard to even talk about it.”
- “The self-harm part was talked about in the documentary…it’s just not a rumor.”
- “This is too much..”
- “This wasn’t even when OTT was even popular…who leaks scenes like that for a movie that was just released unless they were an organizer…”
- “This kind of movie should’ve never been released.”
