'Persona: Sulli' was originally planned to be 5 episodes, but production was halted due to Sulli's sudden death, leaving it unfinished. Only ‘To the Truth’ and the short film ‘4: Clean Island’ (directed by Hwang Soo-ah and Kim Ji-hye) were completed. ‘Persona Sulli’, which consists of these two pieces of content, is scheduled to be released in the second half of the year, and the release channel has not yet been determined.
