Back in February, Shuhua went on a hiatus due to health reasons. Since then, she has been spotted in Taiwan enjoying some well-deserved and much-needed time off, but not without backlash.
On March 8, a netizen claimed they saw Shuhua at Fake Sober, a bar in Taipei. Shortly after, this “information” spread like wildfire on social media.

So Yeh Shuhua is at Fake Sober?

Can anyone tell me if Yeh Shuhua is really at Fake Sober? I’m desperate I hope it’s not true, because I’m not there. If she’s really there, the news would spread immediately, right?
– Threads user
Many netizens then decided to go and find out for themselves.
My friend just went to check it out. She’s not there right now.

People said Yeh Shuhua is at Fake Sober, where? I was in the middle of eating and ran out [to check]…….
– Threads user
I’m here. Come out, Yeh Shuhua.
– Threads user
Fans were not pleased by the actions of those who went to the bar.
What do Shuhua’s whereabouts have anything to do with you all?
– Threads user
I’m so angry. Stop bothering Yeh Shuhua. She’s taking time off, but you’re going there in hopes of seeing her? How is that different from being a sasaeng? It’s so disgusting. What’s wrong with you all?
– Threads user
I don’t know if it’s true, but everyone is rushing to wherever Yeh Shuhua is. Isn’t that the same as what sasaengs do…She’s here to rest, leave her alone…

In the end, the “sighting” is believed to be fake as there’s no proof Shuhua ever went to the bar that night.
