Shuhua Reveals Reason She Took Break from (G)I-DLE's Comeback Activities

In a recording that was made before the release of (G)I-DLE's second full-length album "2" on January 29, the K-pop star talked about her difficulties, caused by the team's exhausting schedule.

When asked if her schedule was hard, Shuhua agreed.

"It was very difficult. First of all, there is a schedule every day. I'm so tired. There is a practice even after this filming. As the title track, "Super Lady" suggests, it is a song that is powerful, confident and cool. I have to do it like crazy."

"Recently, Shuhua visited the hospital due to persistent dizziness symptoms that continued due to poor physical condition.

After receiving the opinion of the medical staff that she needed sufficient stability and rest, our company has decided to suspend all her schedules for the time being despite Shuhua showing a strong commitment to her activities.

We will ensure that the artist can focus on stabilizing, receiving treatment and recovering her health.”

"That's too bad. I'll think about it more."
