(G)I-DLE’s Shuhua is at the center of online discussion after alleged photos of her horseback riding surfaced recently. The pictures, which went viral on March 13th, have some fans questioning the nature of her health hiatus announced by Cube Entertainment.

The viral post features images of Shuhua enjoying a horseback riding outing. The caption expresses confusion, stating, “Is Shuhua really that sick? If she took a hiatus during album activities, then she should be resting at home. It looks like she’s having fun.” The negativity continues, suggesting Shuhua lacks empathy for her bandmates who “go to the hospital, but still continue working when they’re sick.”

However, Shuhua is also receiving strong support from other fans. These supporters emphasize the importance of privacy during her break, and argue that relaxation can take many forms. Comments in defense of Shuhua included, “Isn’t it okay to go out for one day? People can’t stay at home all the time,” and “What’s wrong with doing daily activities? It’s not good to stay at home. You need to go out for fresh air.”
