Well, we can't say we didn't see this coming after all the rumors that had been circulating this past year. SM Entertainment has officially announced that Sulli is pulling out of f(x).

The agency sent out a notice, which read,

"After negotiating with Sulli, who is currently taking a break, about her future activities, we have decided to respect her wishes, and she'll be leaving f(x) and focusing on her acting."

Thus, f(x) will continue on as 4 members, Victoria, Luna, Amber, and Krystal. SM says the girls will be juggling group and individual activities just as they have done before. Sulli will also be working with the agency to decide on her future projects.
