Yeh Shuhua (; born January 6, 2000), known mononymously as Shuhua (Korean: 슈화), is a Taiwanese singer based in South Korea. She is a member of the South Korean girl group (G)I-dle, which debuted under Cube Entertainment in May 2018.[1]

Early life

Shuhua was born on January 6, 2000, in Yangmei, Taoyuan, Taiwan as the second of three daughters.[2] Her father is Hakka and her mother is Tayal.[3] Yeh's native language is Taiwanese Mandarin, and she acknowledges not being fully fluent in Hakka Taiwanese. Additionally, she is proficient in Korean and has a good command of both English and Japanese languages. She attended Hwa Kang Arts School with a focus on theatre.[4] She gained an interest in K-pop after being inspired by Hyuna.[5]

Career

2016–2018: Pre-debut activities

In her youth, captivated by actors on TV, she dreamt of becoming a celebrity, expressing her aspirations with determination. In May 2016, Shuhua was recruited by Cube Entertainment during the Cube Star World Audition.[6] She finished her first year of high school before moving to South Korea to be a trainee.[7] [8] Despite concerns about relocating to a foreign country at a young age, she resolved to pursue her dreams, fearing potential regrets if she didn't take the chance. The most challenging of her trainee days was grappling with the language barrier and striving to comprehend Korean. In June 2017, Yeh participated in a promotional video for Rising Star Cosmetics along with Yuqi and Minnie, future bandmates of (G)I-dle.[9] In September 2017, she and Yoo Seon-ho acted in 10cm's "Pet" music video.[10]

Later on December 2020, Shuhua participated in an episode of the South Korean program along with bandmate Yuqi in which each of the contestants have a cooking competition.[13]

She was selected as the host for the web entertainment show Workdol in 2023.[14] She went on temporary hiatus on February 8, 2024, due to health issues,[15] but she returned on March 21, 2024, for the MLB Seoul Series performance.[16]
