Sulli has suffered malicious comments for doing the simplest things; she never broke laws or caused anything worthy of the amount of hate and backlash she got. Nevertheless, everything she ever did made headlines and usually caused severe backlash.

It seems that BIGBANG T.O.P also wants people to know just how hurtful these comments can get since he suffered greatly from them.
What do you think of this?
He is right. Smh words can be very destructive.
I hope the laws change so people who post those comments can be punished to the full extent of the law.
Depression needs to be taken seriously
Rest in peace sulli ❤
I hope they take full responsibilities and protect their idols from malicious comments. It hurts me to see all these harsh and critical comments. Just stop cyber bullying, you’re not kids, you’re mature enough. I hope T.O.P doesn’t commit suicude too, it is very sorrowful for me to lose another amazing person. Please take full action against these anti-fans or netizens.
