Six years have passed since she left the world, but the longing for the late Sulli remains ongoing. This time, an unpublished childhood photo was released, once again moving fans' hearts.
Sulli's biological older brother posted a childhood photo on his personal SNS on the 24th with a short caption, "Why do you cry so sadly with a smiling face?"
In the released photo, Sulli is sitting on the floor leaning against a wall, looking at the camera. With an unadorned appearance, a bob haircut, and even a faintly blurred smile. It was exactly the image fans remember.
Although her expression is bright and smiling, there is a gaze that feels somehow deep. Tender emotions are conveyed from her eyes, which, viewers say, makes their hearts ache even more. It is a moment when Sulli, showing an "eternally beautiful smile," naturally comes to mind.
When the photo was released, fans poured out their longing, saying, "Jinri, I miss you," "Even though time has passed like this, it still seems the same," and "I hope you are definitely happy there." With a single childhood image summoning memories and recollections from her active days, the atmosphere grew even more poignant.
Friends' longing remains the same. Actress Kim Seon-a, known as a close friend, also released a photo taken together during Sulli's life and said, "Jinri, I miss you more because you were happy." To family, friends and fans alike, Sulli remains a present-tense presence.
Time has passed, but Sulli's smile still remains frozen in the memories of many. Perhaps because of that, even after a long time, a small photo evoked a great resonance and memories for fans.
