(G)I-DLE's Shuhua has recently been in the spotlight for opening up about her struggles during her health-related hiatus.

On February 17th, a video was uploaded on Kang Hyung Wook's YouTube channel 'Bodeum TV', titled 'The First Partnership Proposed by Hyung Wook to (G)I-DLE's Shuhua'.

In the video, Shuhua made an appearance with her two dogs, Haku and Mata. When asked about her spending habits, particularly on her dogs, Shuhua shared, "I don't usually spend a lot. So, I dedicate most of my earnings to my dogs - food, treats, clothes, and more. The automatic ball thrower was the best purchase."

She also humorously asked Kang Hyung Wook for a recommendation on an automatic shoe painting machine, to which he responded, "Shoe painting seems quite challenging," causing a round of laughter.

Kang Hyung Wook, after conversing with Shuhua, noted, "Listening to Shuhua, it feels like she's someone who has been raising dogs for a long time. She doesn't just care for her dogs, but also knows when to be firm. This is a trait of long-time dog owners. Are you planning to venture into this field?"

To this, Shuhua replied, "Yes, if I ever get too exhausted from the entertainment industry, I have a dream of running a pet business. When I open a pet kindergarten, I hope you'll visit often."

Furthermore, when Kang Hyung Wook inquired about the difficulty of preparing for their upcoming album, Shuhua candidly admitted, "It's very challenging. We have daily schedules and we continue to practice even after guest appearances. Our title song 'Super Lady' is powerful, confident, and cool, just as the title suggests."

She expressed her hopes for the song to be well-received and for people to continue listening even after the promotions end, adding, "All of our members worked hard and we are grateful to Neverland."

(G)I-DLE, which Shuhua is a part of, released their regular album '2' last month and started their promotions with 'Super Lady'.

However, on February 8th, Cube Entertainment announced Shuhua's temporary hiatus due to health concerns, stating, "She recently visited the hospital for persistent dizziness and was advised by medical staff to take ample rest and stabilize." This announcement has led to an outpouring of support from fans wishing for her speedy recovery.

Singer Steve Yoo (Yoo Seung Jun), who has been banned from entering South Korea for over two decades, continues to express his love for the country and his desire to return.

On March 21, Yoo Seung Jun posted a video on his personal account along with a cryptic caption, saying, “When one door closes, another opens. When one door opens, another closes.”

He continued, “Just because a door has opened doesn’t mean I should leave, and just because one is closed doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try to open it. I am simply walking the path my father told me to take. Whether people acknowledge it or not no longer matters to me.”

His hashtags also caught attention, as he included “I love you,” “Bless you,” “South Korea,” “Loved ones,” “Everything will be okay,” and “Korea.” Fans couldn’t help but wonder if he was once again hinting at his hope to return.

Just a few days earlier, on March 18, Yoo Seung Jun had also posted a nostalgic message about his time in South Korea.

He wrote, “December 7, 1989—13 years old (1st year of middle school). The school I attended until the day before I immigrated to the U.S. in Songpa-gu, Oju Middle School, is still the same.”

Along with his message, he shared a video of the school's walls and playground, revealing, “One of my fans filmed my middle school, which I attended until I left for the U.S., and sent me the video.”

The clip also showed scenes of his elementary school, making fans reminisce about his past in Korea.

Yoo Seung Jun was one of the most popular artists in South Korea during the 1990s, but his career took a sharp turn in 2002 when he unexpectedly left for the U.S., renounced his Korean citizenship, and became a U.S. citizen.

This led to widespread backlash, as many saw it as an attempt to evade mandatory military service. As a result, the South Korean government banned him from entering the country.

Since then, he has repeatedly taken legal action in hopes of lifting the ban. Now, with his continued efforts and heartfelt messages about Korea, many are wondering—will he finally be allowed back after 23 years?
