Netizens are shocked.
Shuhua of i-dle (formerly known as (G)I-DLE) is receiving criticism for her lack of communication with fans.
Following her posting a message one Bubble (a paid fan communication platform) on July 25, 2024, she didn’t send another message until May 2, 2025, leaving paying fans with no messages from her for 281 days.
She posted once more a few days later in honor of i-dle’s comeback. However, unlike the other members who teased the comeback via livestream, Shuhua instead posted on Bubble in the middle of the night. Fans also notes that out of the total 805 days since the group started using Bubble, Shuhua has sent fewer than 10 messages total. Additionally, she hasn’t made one post or comment on Weverse since i-dle joined the platform.
She is also criticized for never thanking fans following an award. The other members all took to various platforms to share their thanks for a Daesang from the Seoul Music Awards except for Shuhua.
Netizens are appalled at the fans shielding her behavior.
- “She hasn’t improved in nearly 10 years. No growth in skills, no better communication. What are people even stanning her for? Living off just her looks for 10 years? That’s way too long. There are plenty of alternatives out there, yet fans keep getting played and still stick around… Honestly, the fans are more baffling to me.”
- “She’s the only member in i-dle who’s totally unnecessary… She’s completely clueless about her place.”
- “She knows fans are upset, the other members have said stuff, the company’s said stuff, even the staff around her have spoken up, but she deliberately chooses not to communicate. Makes you wonder if she sees fans as complete suckers. LOL.”
- “Even after winning a Daesang, she doesn’t seem all that grateful.”
- “When my idol didn’t send a single Bubble message for a month, I went off like they’d lost their mind. But Shuhua hasn’t sent one in 281 days? And she’s still silent even after winning an award? How are fans not totally disillusioned by now?”
