(G)I-DLE member Yuqi showed her love for fans with an exceptional gift!
It is not uncommon for idols to give their fans gifts. Oftentimes, idols will prepare special gifts for fans and hand them out during events to show how grateful they are for their support. They will also give food, drinks, and other handmade items.
However, Yuqi stands out with her expensive gift!
(G)I-DLE Yuqi Splurges on THIS Unique Gift For Fans

Fans of the idol revealed that during the fan sign, Yuqi joked that she would bring the fans to Hai Di Lao, a popular hot pot chain, as a joke. However, it appears she kept to her word and treated fans to some free hotpot with the gift cards!

It was also noted by fans that Yuqi has dreamt of sharing a meal with Neverlands, (G)I-DLE's fan base, but since she couldn't, she opted to give out Hai Di Lao gift cards instead. The OP claimed this shows how much she loves her fans. This is notably not the only gift Yuqi gave fans during her solo promotions.
She also gave fans a "YUQ1" embroidered rabbit doll, which comes with an identification card. The bunny is Yuqi's favorite plushie, and she bought 250 toys from the brand Jellycat to give out to fans. The rabbit is named Gigi.
She also gave the fans sandwiches, iced coffee, and lip tints.

K-Netz React to (G)I-DLE Yuqi's Extravagant Hai Di Lao Gift
Korean netizens who saw the post noted how nice the idol is, and how it properly shows how genuine the (G)I-DLE member is. Others noted how female idols never fail to splurge just to show fans how much they appreciate their support, while male idols do not have such stories.
Some comments read,
- "Female idols always go out of their way and spend their money for fans. Meanwhile, male idols... They earn way more than female idols, but they are so cheap."
- "Yuqi also gave another gift to fans as a tribute. She gave them a YUQ1 embroidered rabbit doll. She said it was her favorite plushie and bought 250 pieces from Jellycat to give out to fans."
- "Yuqi is so genuine."
- "Fans have a collection of gifts from just one solo promotion."
- "Wow, it must be nice to be her fan... 100K KRW per person."
