Word on the street is that she’s been secretly seeing a non-celebrity boyfriend, and fans are not having it.
With the group’s strict no-dating policy, this could mean big trouble for her future in the group.
Siba’s rules are clear—idols should stay single and focus on their careers, just like how employees follow company policies. But now, some fans are asking if this love ban is outdated.
“Idols are people too, why can’t they date like normal adults?” one fan ranted online. Others, however, see it differently. “We pay to support them, not their boyfriends,” another snapped.
Now, with all the drama, rumours of Qiao Shiran’s graduation are starting to swirl.
Some say she might leave before the situation gets worse, while others believe she’ll stick around and apologise. Either way, this scandal has got the fandom in a frenzy.
The biggest concern? Performance quality. Fans argue that if idols start prioritising relationships over work, it’ll show on stage.
Imagine your favourite idol having a rough day with their boyfriend—next thing you know, their performance is lacklustre, and the fans who paid for tickets are left disappointed.
So, what happens now? Will Siba tighten the love ban even more, or will they finally admit that idols are human too? For now, all eyes are on Qiao Shiran, waiting for her next move.
