K-pop star Sulli, formerly a member of the band f(x), has died aged 25.
Police told the BBC the singer's manager found her dead at her home near Seoul, South Korea.
The cause of her death is still being investigated, but fans and fellow K-pop stars have been paying tribute to the star online.
Sulli, who had more than five million followers on Instagram, was a member of f(x) until she left in 2015 to focus on her acting career.

Some believe the artist, whose real name is Choi Jin-ri, suspended her K-pop work after struggling with the abuse she got online.
Police have said they believe Sulli may have taken her own life but are investigating all possibilities.
'She clapped back'
Music journalist Taylor Glasby said Sulli was a "free spirit".
"She was one of the idols who decided to live her life in the way she wanted to and that didn't always sit well with the general public," she tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.
In South Korea, pop stars are called idols.
"For idols, everything is about appearance, everything is quite monitored and she just didn't [monitor her content]. She was herself".
"She clapped back and she wouldn't take people's narrow-mindedness".

Taylor says Sulli's former band f(x) changed K-pop.
"They were one of the girl groups that didn't fit in, they did their own thing. Their music was more hard-hitting. It was innovative and complex, and it helped cement an entire sub-genre within K-pop - girl crush.
"When she left, her legacy became being outspoken. It became taking control of her own image. I admired her spirit to do so despite the constant negativity that was directed at her by some less open minded citizens."‎
Sulli's former f(x) bandmate, Amber Liu, has posted her shock at what's happened.
Skip Twitter post by @llama_ajol Due to recent events i’ll be putting on hold my upcoming activities. Sorry everyone.
Thank you for your thoughts. — Amber J. Liu 刘逸云 (@llama_ajol) October 14, 2019 Report
Sulli was known for being outspoken and breaking the K-pop mould. She unashamedly told her fans that they had a choice about ‎how to display their bodies. ‎
She was involved in the so-called "no bra" movement in South Korea - where women go braless to make a statement about expectations and judgement of their bodies.
Sulli showed her nipples on social media on a number of ‎occasions - the first appeared on her Instagram account in May 2016. She faced a huge ‎amount of abuse in response.
Last month her breasts were shown by accident during a live ‎Instagram stream - which again caused controversy in conservative South Korea.
Sulli was good friends with K-pop star Jonghyun, who took his own life aged 27.
The artist paid tribute at his funeral in 2017.

=== Ciberacoso ===
Sulli ha sido blanco de ciberacoso desde hace tiempo debido a varias polémicas en las que se había visto envuelta. Cuando a mediados del 2013 y 2014 salió a la luz su relación de pareja con el cantante Choiza de Dynamic Duo, ambos recibieron comentarios negativos debido a su relación.

Sulli era conocida por salirse de los rígidos esquemas del mundo del K-pop y que tenían la opción de mostrar sus cuerpos. Expresó su apoyo al movimiento "no bra" ("sin sostén") subiendo en las redes sociales imágenes de ella sin sostén, lo cual fue objeto de controversia en las comunidades de internautas de Corea del Sur.

En el 2009 debutó como miembro del grupo  de la empresa de espectáculos , que abandonó en el 2015 luego de un año sabático que se tomó tras la ola de comentarios de odio que había recibido hasta ese entonces. A partir de entonces se dedicó a su carrera actoral y de solista.
