SM Entertainment has shared a touching tribute to Sulli, three days after her death.

The agency remembered the first day they met the singer, who passed away aged 25 on 14 October.

Sharing a beautiful picture of Sulli on their social media accounts, SM wrote: ‘We remember the day we met Sulli.

‘The lovely girl with a blinding smile grew up into an artist loved by many people, and now Sulli has become a star that always shines in the hearts of those who love her.

‘We will not forget the beauty and warm heart she has shown us and will cherish it forever.’

Sulli joined SM as a trainee when she was a teenager, sharing a dorm with Taeyeon and Tiffany of Girls’ Generation.

The singer, real name Choi Jin-ri, debuted with f(x) in 2009, and went on to have success with the girlband with songs including Pinocchio (Danger), Electric Shock and Hot Summer.

It was announced on 24 July 2014, it was announced Sulli would be taking a hiatus from the group, as she was struggling with receiving abuse online, and a year later, she left the band.

Her former bandmates Amber and Victoria have spoken out after Sulli’s death, with Amber, 27, cancelling all upcoming activities.

And Victoria, 32, today wrote on Instagram: ‘Sulli ~ The weather is nice today. Goodbye ~ I won’t forget you. I love you…’

Krystal and Luna have yet to speak out.

Sulli was found dead in her home in Seongnam on Monday after her manager became concerned that he couldn’t contact her.

Police are working off the assumption that she took her own life, with a preliminary autopsy raising no suspicion of homicide or foul play.
