She first made her debut as a child actress, appearing as a supporting cast member on the SBS historical drama Ballad of Seodong (2005). Following this, she earned a number of guest roles, appearing in the television series Love Needs a Miracle (2005) and Drama City (2007), and the film Vacation (2006). She then subsequently appeared in the independent films Punch Lady (2007) and BA:BO (2008), the former being her first time cast in a substantial dramatic role.

After signing a record deal with SM Entertainment, Sulli rose to prominence as a member of the girl group f(x) formed in 2009. The group achieved both critical and commercial success, with four Korean number-one singles and international recognition after becoming the first K-pop act to perform at SXSW. Concurrently with her music career, Sulli returned to acting by starring in the SBS romantic comedy series, To the Beautiful You (2012), a Korean adaptation of the {{lang|ja-Latn|shōjo manga}} Hana-Kimi where her performance was positively received and earned her two SBS Drama Awards and a nomination at the 49th Paeksang Arts Awards.

Sulli's film career progressed with her starring in the fantasy swashbuckler The Pirates (2014) and the coming-of-age drama Fashion King (2014). During the press tour for The Pirates, Sulli took a hiatus from the entertainment industry due to health issues and following a year long absence from promoting with f(x), she left the group in August 2015. Between 2015 and 2017, she embarked on a number of modelling campaigns before becoming an endorsement model for Estée Lauder.{{Cite web|last=Son|first=Ji-hyoung|date=November 10, 2016|title=Sulli endorses Estee Lauder|url=http://kpopherald.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=201611101807271894512_2|access-date=December 28, 2021|website=Kpop Herald|archive-date=December 29, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211229033344/http://kpopherald.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=201611101807271894512_2|url-status=live}} Sulli garnered attention for her role in the experimental neo-noir thriller Real (2017).
