Sulli's Brother Discusses 'Real' Bed Scene Controversy

The late Sulli's brother, referred to as A, has made significant statements following his acknowledgment that Sulli was aware of the bed scene in the film 'Real' prior to filming. He stated, "To reiterate, those who know are aware that I have mentioned specific individuals live before, and the spread of controversy now is the journalists' responsibility."

He continued, "Just as you have the freedom of speech, so do I. I have no intention of gaining anything from this, and any criticism is yours to bear. If I am the target, I will simply listen and observe."

A also expressed, "The questions I have are my own judgments, so please do not jump to conclusions. No matter how much you dig, you do not understand my situation."

Previously, A raised concerns regarding Sulli's participation in 'Real', highlighting that the script did not specify the bed scene with Kim Soo-hyun, and that although a body double was present, Sulli was persuaded to perform the bed and nude scenes without using the double. He demanded statements from lead actor Kim Soo-hyun and director Lee Sa-rang regarding these issues.

In response, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Goldmedalist, refuted A's claims, stating on April 2, "Regarding the bed scene: the late Choi Jin-ri (Sulli) was aware of the scene beforehand. As for the body double, there was a 'standing actor' who did not perform but assisted with the actor's movements during preparation."

They added, "We are attaching statements from the film's first assistant director Kim Jung-ok and script supervisor Lee Joon-hyun, confirming that all scenes, including the bed scene, were filmed as per the script and storyboard, which are the production team's domain. Kim Soo-hyun had no involvement in these aspects. We have not contacted the late Choi Jin-ri's mother, nor do we have her contact information."

A responded, acknowledging Goldmedalist's statement, saying, "I saw your statement about the standing actor. I had previously suggested there were coercion allegations, but I recognized a few days before your statement that there was no coercion according to multiple testimonies. I believe the filming proceeded as per the storyboard."

Furthermore, A requested transparency regarding director Lee Jung-seob's departure from the project, stating, "If there were no issues during filming, I request a clear explanation regarding his exit. I heard that 80% of the filming was completed when he left, and I find it hard to understand why someone would leave after filming that much. If there are errors in this statement, I would like to know what they are."
