i-dle Shuhua’s Secret To Her Intense Weight Loss

In the often unforgiving world of K-pop, where beauty standards can be as demanding as performance expectations, i-dle‘s Shuhua has long been under the spotlight — not only for her talent and visuals, but also for harsh and unfair scrutiny over her body.

Since her debut in 2018, Shuhua, the group’s Taiwanese member, has stood out for her ethereal visuals and bold personality. However, that didn’t stop online trolls from targeting her appearance. Particularly during the early years of her career, Shuhua was fat-shamed by some netizens who claimed she looked “chubby” compared to the typical K-pop idol figure.

Rather than succumbing to the pressure or altering herself for others, Shuhua initially stood her ground, often clapping back at critics.

But recently, fans noticed a visible transformation: Shuhua had lost weight and appeared leaner than ever, sparking curiosity about her health routine.

In a recent live broadcast and various fan interactions, Shuhua casually revealed her “secret” to her weight loss: cutting out flour. The revelation was simple, yet surprisingly effective.

By eliminating foods like white bread, pasta, noodles, cakes, and other flour-based snacks — staples in many modern diets — Shuhua reduced inflammation and bloating, common side effects of processed carbs. Her meals now reportedly focus more on whole foods.

Look at my waist. This ant-like waist was made from cutting our flour. Even if Minnie tries desperately to feed me some, I do not swallow it.

Fans have praised her not only for her discipline but also for maintaining a healthy and realistic approach. Her confidence and happiness in recent appearances, from comeback stages to variety shows, have sparked a renewed appreciation from Neverland.
