Sulli's posthumous work 'Persona 2' to be released

Attention is focusing on whether the posthumous work of actress Sulli, former member of the girl group f(x), will be revealed.

According to the industry on the 23rd, Netflix is reviewing the release of 'Persona: Sulli' ('Persona 2') and is discussing with Mystic Story, the production site, whether to release it or not. Netflix said, "'Persona: Sulli' is a work produced by Mystic Story, and overall discussions are underway on whether to stream on Netflix and the final release date."

'Persona 2' is a project that combines five short films inspired by Sulli by five directors, and production was halted when Sulli passed away on October 14, 2019.

Singer and actress IU appeared in 'Persona', and Sulli took over the baton and was producing 'Persona: Sulli' for the second time.

The prospect of whether 'Persona 2' will be unveiled comes as the fact that Netflix is preparing to release 'Persona 2' overseas, such as Brazil, spreads through social media. In the teaser released through overseas social media, Sulli's previous interviews were included, such as "Popular suddenly came into being. I understood it, but I think I was scared."

Public reaction to the release of Sulli's posthumous 'Persona 2' has been mixed. Some fans said, "It's nice to think that I can see Sulli again", "I want to see Sulli at 30 years old", etc., while others said, "Who is this public for? Do you think it would be better not to disclose it?", "Why did you come now? Don't you have the right to be forgotten?"

Sulli debuted as a child actress in the 2005 drama 'Seodongyo'. He debuted as a singer in 2009 with f(x). After leaving the team in 2015, he turned to an actor and participated in challenging and experimental works. He showed great acting in the movies 'Pirates, Bandits to the Sea', 'Fashion King', and 'Real'.
