Shuhua from i-dle shocks fans by revealing she’s been "single since birth" during a YouTube travel show.
On the first episode of the new series Eotteokhaeng, Shuhua appeared with tripleS’s Yooyeon. While searching for accommodations, Yooyeon brought up the Korean dating show Transit Love. She asked if Shuhua would want to appear on a dating show someday.
Shuhua’s answer caught everyone off guard.
“I’ve been mota(e) solo, or single since birth.”
The confession triggered laughter between the idols.
When Yooyeon suggested Heart Signal, Shuhua refused, saying she’s not into "flings," which the show emphasizes. However, she showed interest when Singles’ Inferno came up — on the condition she could film indoors to avoid the sun.
Netizens remain divided over Shuhua’s claim. Some suspect it’s a white lie, while others believe she’s truly never dated.
Some reactions on Instiz:
“My favorite idol also said they were single since birth, but….haha.”
“It feels real. She just seems disinterested in dating.”
Shuhua now joins the likes of NCT’s Jisung and TWS Jihoon as idols known for being lifelong singles.
The topic sparked fresh buzz around Shuhua’s personal life and dating history.
