On July 16, a forum was uploaded in a community, and was titled, "Rare Real-Life Photos of Sulli." The author posted numerous photos showing the late idol on various occasions.

On a different platform, international fans were warmed to see an appreciation thread for the late idol. However, the majority expressed frustration over the public's "switch up" on Sulli. Here's how they reacted:
