(G)I-DLE‘s Yuqi was recently under fire for allegedly making a colorist comment towards fellow member Shuhua. She stated in a broadcast that Shuhua was too white to be a police officer who catches criminals at night.

Her fansite who posted the original tweet that garnered attention later admitted she had mistranslated the broadcast. As of November 20, (G)I-DLE’s Yuqi personally apologized as well. 

She apologized in her fancafe an apology towards fans who were hurt by her words.
