Her Story
The creator of the movie The Ring Virus saw similarities between Sadako and Eun-Suh’s lives, so he, of course, threw in elements from the Ring novel. Because of this, the accuracy of the movie's information on Eun-Suh is debatable.
Known Information
The most accurate information known is that Eun-Suh did exhibit clairvoyant powers at a very young age. She and her mother, Jung-Sūk Park, were well known weather forecasters in their village but were considered witches because of their powers. She moved to the mainland and worked at a nightclub under the assumed identity of "Sunny Park" and was a suspect in the death of one of her co-workers. It is also interesting to note that, prior to popular belief, there was no well. She was murdered by her half brother and buried in a location that was soon made into the video’s originating spot. Most other information is unknown or debatable, such as the existance of androgen insensitivity syndrome, the suicide of Park Jung-Sūk, or the rape by her half-brother.
Controversy
Sadako≠Eun-Suh Debate
While Eun-Suh is a confirmed wellwraith, it is high unlikely that she is an incarnation of Sadako. Sadako's death was two years after Eun-Suh's birth, which creates a paradox in the generally accepted idea that the wellwraiths are Sadako incarnate.
Wellwraith?
Is it questioned on whether Eun-Suh can even be called a wellwraith because she was not thrown in a well. The end of her video does show a well, but it is possible that this well is merely an abstract image conjured by Eun-Suh, rather than a concrete image she might have seen.
