SEOUL, July 17 (Korea Bizwire) – f(x) has finally taken the 1st place with “Red Light” on Mnet’s ‘M! Countdown’ on July 17, which was broadcast live.
However, Sulli was absent from the show that prompted growing speculation among fans. An agency official for f(x) explained, “Sulli is suffering from high fever and chills and she is having a good rest for now.” “We will decide on the next program schedules as we take a closer watch on her physical condition.”
Sulli’s not participating even in the stage on the day of winning No.1 title has generated wild guess among fans indeed. The keyword of ‘Sulli’ in fact topped a real-time search list on South Korea’s No.1 portal Naver in the afternoon of July 17.
In the meantime, news about Sulli generated quite a buzz recently since a photo in the wallet of Choi Ja, member of Dynamic Duo — which allegedly was lost by him, appeared online — in which Sulli and Choi Ja presented lovely scene as a couple seemingly in intimate terms.
Still many fans are wondering Why SM Entertainment, agency for f(x), is not making any official announcement on this and some fans even guessed Sulli’s being absent from the show has something to do with a series of these “uneasy” accidents surrounding “a relationship” between Choi Ja and her.
