• "Like idol like fan" — (G)-IDLE's Shuhua opens up about her relationship status on "Workman"

    (G)-IDLE's Shuhua surprised everyone with a personal revelation on a recent episode of "Workman" (also known as "Workdol").

    In the show, Shuhua took on the role of a waitress at Outback Steakhouse to experience life as a part-time worker. She did various tasks, chatted with customers, and even danced with them.

    During her time at the restaurant, she encountered a couple with a young child and decided to ask them about their relationship.

    Shuhua inquired if the woman was happy, and the response was positive. She then curiously asked when they got married.

    The woman mentioned that she got married at 32, prompting Shuhua to wonder if she'd do the same.

    As a 23-year-old born in 2000, she got an unexpected response from her husband, who thought she'd find a partner before that.

    That's when Shuhua casually shared her own relationship status—she's never dated anyone in her life.

    Shuhua revealed, "I haven't had a single date."

    She learned that she's what Koreans call a "solo motae," which means someone who's been single since birth.
