What This Means for Neverlands
Shuhua’s absence stings extra hard because this tour has been historic. From becoming the 2 to Melbourne’s electrifying Kylie Minogue tribute cover, every stop has been unforgettable. Sydney fans were also hoping for a local Aussie cover in the encore — a tradition the group kept alive in Bangkok and Taipei.
But health always comes first. The group pushed through as four, delivering a setlist packed with classics like TOMBOY, Queencard, and Super Lady — plus the live debut of unreleased tracks including Shuhua’s own solo Red Redemption, which now carries an even more emotional weight.
The silver lining? 2, meaning Shuhua likely has weeks — not months — to recover before new music drops. With the 3 showing Singapore on June 13 and Yokohama on June 20 before a massive North American arena run in August, every day of rest counts.
Fans are also keeping Shuhua in their hearts beyond music — she’s literally a playable character in 4. Get well, Shuhua — both on stage and in the game.
