(G)I-DLE's Yuqi Sparks Controversy with Controversial Remarks on Chinese Variety Show

(G)I-DLE's Chinese member, Yuqi, has found herself embroiled in a heated controversy after her recent appearance on a Chinese variety show.

On July 17th, an interview video featuring Yuqi and Minnie from (G)I-DLE was uploaded to Zhejiang Satellite TV's official YouTube channel.

In the interview, the show's producer (PD) asked Yuqi and Minnie to convey a message to their Chinese fans.

Yuqi took the opportunity to express her plans, stating, "I plan to visit Hong Kong after Taiwan this time." She added with a smile, "I want to give a little surprise. If there's time, I ask for your continued interest."

However, these comments quickly ignited a controversy due to their implications regarding Taiwan's status.

Yuqi's remarks seemed to align with the "One China" policy, which asserts that mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and other regions are inseparable and that the legitimate government of China is the People's Republic of China.

In response, Taiwanese fans expressed disappointment and discontent with Yuqi's comments.

Some fans also highlighted the lack of consideration shown towards (G)I-DLE member Shuhua, who is of Taiwanese nationality.

The controversy has sparked discussions about the sensitivity surrounding political issues and the responsibility of celebrities when making public statements that touch upon geopolitical matters.

Meanwhile, on July 14th, (G)I-DLE made their debut in the United States with their first digital single titled "I DO." The group has also embarked on their second world tour, aiming to connect with their international fanbase and bring their music to global audiences.

(G)I-DLE’s Miyeon made a surprise appearance as a new part-time worker, and her entrance had actor Yoo Seung Ho completely flustered.

On the May 10 episode of JTBC’s Battle! Paeng Bong Paeng Bong, Paeng Hyun Sook’s restaurant faced another loss against Lee Bong Won’s team — their second loss in a row.

As a result, Paeng’s restaurant was at risk of shrinking even more, while Lee Bong Won’s restaurant celebrated by earning a new signboard and even winning a snowflake shaved ice machine, ingredients included.

Just when things were looking bad for Paeng Hyun Sook’s team, Yoo Seung Ho received a mysterious letter. It read, “Don’t tell anyone and open this alone. Please.”

Inside, the message said, “Paeng Restaurant can now add a dessert menu. A new team member is waiting in the kitchen. Please come to Paeng Restaurant quickly.”

Yoo Seung Ho shared, “I felt really happy when I read that note,” and immediately rushed back to the restaurant. But as soon as he saw the new team member’s back, he froze — then stepped backward, shyly retreating.

When asked why, he smiled and confessed, “I liked it so much. I was shy and happy, so I came back out again.”

The new part-timer was revealed to be none other than Miyeon of (G)I-DLE. She came with a fish-shaped bread machine and looked ready to help rescue the struggling restaurant with a brand-new dessert menu.

However, Yoo Seung Ho couldn’t even talk to her properly. Miyeon, noticing his shy behavior, laughed and asked, “Why are you scared of me?”

Yoo Seung Ho replied honestly, “I was all sweaty, and in the evening my beard gets messy. I was in such a terrible state, so I felt embarrassed. But at the same time, I was really happy that someone came to help. Those two feelings came at once.”

Fans are now loving the adorable chemistry between the two stars and are curious to see if Miyeon can turn things around for Team Paeng!
