It’s a rare moment of candor from the idol.
(G)I-DLE‘s Shuhua recently opened up about her initial hesitations surrounding contract renewal with Cube Entertainment, providing fans with insights into her emotional struggles.
The conversation initially sparked interest during the tumultuous contract renewal debates in 2024, where fans were on the edge of their seats wondering about the futures of each member. Many discussions took place between i-dle and the agency, with uncertainty looming over their contracts.
However, all that changed at the 2024 Melon Music Awards, when group member Soyeon confirmed that they had all decided to renew their contracts, alleviating fans’ concerns.
Yet, as Shuhua shared on the latest episode of ILLIT Minju’s show Pink Cabinet on May 22, the decision wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed. She revealed, “At first, I didn’t want to sign the contract.” Her openness highlighted the personal challenges she faced at the time.
During her appearance, Shuhua spoke candidly about the emotional stress she was experiencing, which influenced her initial reluctance to continue with the group. Despite these obstacles, her experiences reflect the strong bonds the members share, emphasizing that they support each other through thick and thin.
Shuhua’s honesty is a testament to her growth and connection with fans. The revelations certainly deepen the appreciation for her journey with i-dle, making it hard to believe there was ever a time she considered walking away.
