Does anyone else feel like all the improvement Shuhua showed during Nxde era is completely gone? It honestly reminds me of her debut days.

I remember everyone praising her back then. People were saying it was her era, that her stage presence had improved a lot, and that she was finally showing great facial expressions and confidence on stage. I truly agreed with that at the time, since she had really stepped up after Soojin's departure. But for the last few comebacks, I honestly don't see that same energy anymore...

Today's comeback showcase for [Gimme Dat Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we9dVVHVv-k) really stood out to me. The choreography is actually more difficult than what i-dle usually does, with a lot of body isolations, sharp movements, and quick transitions. While the other members handled it well, Shuhua immediately caught my attention, and unfortunately not in a good way... To get the obvious points out of the way, she was off beat several times, didn't fully execute some of the movements, and looked noticeably less clean than the rest of the group. Go watch the performance yourself.

But what bothered me the most wasn't even the dancing, it was once again the facial expressions (or lack thereof), as if she just doesn't care. This is a sexy, sultry, flirty song. The other members are constantly selling the concept with confident expressions, flirty smiles, and fierce eye contact. Meanwhile, Shuhua mostly looks like she's waiting for the performance to end. Her face doesn't even change throughout the song, not a single smile or anything. I felt the same way during the Good Thing era too, so this isn't just based on one performance.

Personally, I think stage presence and facial expressions are some of the most important parts of being an idol, ESPECIALLY if you are not the strongest singer. She also doesn't have many lines, so she should focus on the performance aspect even more. I've seen people say she's probably just tired, but I don't really buy that. She has the least busy individual schedule out of all members and this has been a recurring issue :/ 

Even rookie idols like Babymonster, Meovv etc. who just debuted show more confidence and stage presence, meanwhile Shuhua has been an idol for over 8 years... so I honestly don't think it's unreasonable to expect more from someone with that much idol and stage experience.

What happened to Shuhua's improvement?
