Shuhua was called out for not communicating with fans The idol has been under fire recently for not communicating enough with fans. A netizen online pointed out that the idol had last used a paid fan forum platform to post a message to fans on July 25, 2024. Since then, Shuhua had not used any online platform to directly connect with fans. Her latest comment came this year on May 2, 2025, with many fans pointing out how the idol had taken 281 days in total in order to connect with fans directly. Fans also pointed out that while all of the other members of the group had been actively interacting with fans and using their online accounts to share comeback teasers, Shuhua had only used the fan forum platform 10 times in total.

Netizens react to Shuhua's viral behavior After many people started pointing out the idol's actions, K-netizens took to online platforms and fan forums to share their disdain over the idol. One commented, '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…' Another fan commented on the viral post and stated that 'She knows fans are upset; the other members have said stuff, the company's said stuff, and 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.'
