This is a story about a person with disassociative disorder. She is with herself and with three other personalities.
"Goblin" is the only solo single by former f(x) member Sulli. The song was released as a three-track maxi-single with B-sides "On the Moon" and "Dorothy" on June 29, 2019, four years after she left f(x) and three and a half months before her suicide in October 2019. The song and music video deal with disassociative identity disorder, with the video featuring Sulli in the role of three "goblins" who are her character's split personalities.
