Sulli's Brother Sparks Speculation with Cryptic Social Media Posts

On the 27th, Sulli's brother, identified as Choi, posted the word "Sadist" against a black background on his social media account.
While Choi did not specify who the message was directed at, he responded to a follower's question, "Real?" with "Real sadist."
A sadist is someone with a tendency towards sadism, deriving sexual pleasure from inflicting pain on others. The term originates from the name of French novelist Marquis de Sade.
Previously, on the 21st, Choi had posted on his social media, "Kim, I have a lot to say but can't. You might fall from a high place, so hold on tight," leading fans to speculate and criticize whether he was targeting actor Kim Soo-hyun.
On the 22nd, he responded, "How can fans be of no help? I didn't even mention the name Soo-hyun, yet you all rush in... You must be going crazy because you can't fact-check, right? I've been unable to fact-check for years. Living with just the sentence, 'Well, it couldn't be helped,' helps me stay sane."
On the 23rd, he mentioned, "My life, your life, everyone's life is 'Real,'" referencing the movie title in which Sulli and Kim Soo-hyun both starred.
