Following her recent appearance on "The Seasons," (G)I-DLE's Shuhua finds herself under scrutiny as K-netizens question her stage presence and vocal abilities.
Lackluster Performance Raises Eyebrows
A thread on Pann Nate, a prominent online community, has sparked a conversation about Shuhua's performance on the show.
The original post dissected Shuhua's rendition of "Super Lady," highlighting her apparent nervousness, lack of precision in pronunciation, rhythm, vocal delivery, and struggles with memorization.

Netizens' Weigh In
Echoing the sentiment, other netizens voiced concerns over Shuhua's perceived lack of talent and linguistic comprehension.
Here are the sentiments regarding (G)I-DLE's Shuhua's skills as expressed by netizens:
"But seriously, it seems like Shuhua doesn't have any talent. She's been in Korea for several years, how is this possible? I'm not trying to be mean but it seems like she has no understanding of language or pronunciation. "
"Shuhua just seems untalented... It seems like she wanted to be an actress rather than an idol. I don't know why she came to Korea if that's the case. Looking at the recordings where she cried or said it was hard, it seems like no matter how hard she tries, it won't work."
"Shuhua doesn't seem to improve even though she makes an effort. When will she grow?"
"She puts in effort but seems untalented... She doesn't have the qualities of an idol.. Such behind-the-scenes come out every time. Still, I like (G)I-DLE. "
Despite acknowledging her efforts, netizens express disappointment over Shuhua's apparent inability to progress, posing the poignant question: When will she demonstrate growth?
A Call for Improvement in the Idol Industry
The critique extends beyond Shuhua's individual performance, prompting reflection on the broader state of the idol music market.
Netizens advocate for a standard of basic singing proficiency, emphasizing the importance of live performance skills in defining a singer's credibility.
