Shuhua (슈화) is a member of i-dle, the CUBE Entertainment group she debuted with on 2 May 2018 as (G)I-DLE. In Taiwan, where she is from, she has since become a tourism ambassador for Taoyuan and taken her first leading film role.
Shuhua (슈화) is the member of i-dle who grew up in Taoyuan, Taiwan. Marie Claire Taiwan wrote in May 2018 that she had joined CUBE Entertainment through the Cube Star World Audition in 2016, and she debuted in (G)I-DLE on 2 May that year. iMBC named Taoyuan as her hometown in a report of 13 October 2025, and Shuhua herself said, “I grew up in Fuxing, in Taoyuan, from when I was little.”
Her first lyric credit is ‘그래도 돼요’ (That’s Okay), on the eighth mini album We are, released on 19 May 2025. “Before we started work on the album, Soyeon asked whether I’d like to take part this time,” she told Sports Kyunghyang. “Making songs is so much fun, and if I get the chance later I’d like to try composing too.”
In May 2023 she was named host of Workdol, a web variety show from SLL (Star News). From 26 July 2025 she hosted a special series of 감별사 (Gambyeolsa, “the appraiser”), a web show that turns celebrities’ treasured belongings into donations, with the proceeds going to the Bobath Children’s Rehabilitation Centre (Xports News). She also hosts Inspector Global, the local edition made in Taiwan, and on 5 November 2025 it held Inspector 2025 SHUHUA Talk Concert at the Taipei International Convention Center (TICC), a hall of about 3,000 seats (Brand Brief). On 31 October 2026 she is to host the tenth-anniversary concert of Garena’s mobile game 傳說對決 (Arena of Valor) at the Taipei Dome (udn, 16 September 2026).
In 2025 she was appointed a tourism ambassador for Taoyuan City. Over two days with a Korean film crew she shot tourism videos at Daxi Old Street, the Xiaowulai Skywalk, the Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center and other spots around Taoyuan. “I’m really happy and honoured to be named an ambassador for my hometown, Taoyuan,” she said, adding that she hoped many people would visit Taoyuan and Fuxing, “a very modest, warm-hearted place, with clean air and quiet.”
On 18 March 2024 the casual-wear brand Covernat named Shuhua ambassador for its women’s line (Xports News).
On 26 March 2026 CUBE Entertainment announced that Shuhua had been cast as the lead in the Taiwanese film Happily Ever After (幸福快樂的日子; in Korean, 오래오래 행복하게). Mediapen reported that she plays Lin Jia-qi (林家琪), the youngest in her family, and that the director is Feng-i Fiona Roan (阮鳳儀), who won the Golden Horse Award for Best New Director with her first feature, American Girl (美國女孩). In an interview carried by Frameless, Roan said that “when I met Shuhua, I had her read just two scenes,” and that she decided to cast her on the spot. It is Shuhua’s first lead role in a film.
The film was selected for the Special Presentations section of the 51st Toronto International Film Festival (udn, 21 July 2026) and held its world premiere at Toronto’s Royal Alexandra Theatre on 18 September, where Shuhua stood with the director and her co-stars (FTNN). It was then invited to the A Window on Asian Cinema section of the 31st Busan International Film Festival (6–15 October) for its first screening in Asia, and held a press conference at BIFF Hill in the Busan Cinema Center on 7 October (The Fact). “I never imagined my first film would take me to a festival this big. It’s an experience that feels familiar and strange at once,” Shuhua said (SPOTV News, 2 September 2026). Its release in Taiwan is scheduled for 2027 (udn).
