“Contract Renewal” Yuqi, Was There an Offer from China? “If It Were Just About Money, I’d Already Be in China”

On January 9th, the YouTube channel “TT Studio” released an episode of “Physiognomy Analysis” titled “Yuqi’s Contract Renewal Story?! Finally Welcoming the Idol Physiognomy”.

In the video, (G)I-DLE’s Yuqi and STAYC’s Yoon appeared and shared a lighthearted conversation with Eom Ji-yoon.

Recently, (G)I-DLE made headlines by renewing their contracts with Cube Entertainment.

When Yuqi asked whether her decision to renew was the right one, the fortune-teller explained, “You experience a lot of stress in relationships, but at the same time, you seek perfection in them.” Yuqi agreed wholeheartedly, saying, “Honestly, half of my stress comes from human relationships.”

Eom Ji-yoon commented, “Yuqi is already very popular, and I’m sure you must have received offers from China during the contract renewal season. Considering the massive scale of the Chinese market, I thought you could move (to China).”

To this, Yuqi responded, “To be honest, if I just wanted to make money, I’d already have gone (to China). That’s why I renewed my contract—to keep doing what I love.”

She also reflected on her challenging debut journey, “As a foreigner, the audition process was tough. I was a good student, but I fought with my parents a lot to come to Korea.”

During the fortune-telling session, it was revealed that Yuqi is someone who needs to feel stability and comfort in relationships. If she doesn’t, she finds it difficult to endure, suggesting that she is likely to continue expanding her career in a stable environment.
