South Korean pop singer HyunA caused alarm at the Waterbomb 2025 Macau festival when she fainted mid-performance. The 33-year-old collapsed while singing her hit song “Bubble Pop” on Sunday, raising concerns about her health amid recent rapid weight loss.
Video footage shared on social media showed HyunA suddenly losing consciousness during her act. Backup dancers quickly assisted her, and security personnel carried her off the stage.
Earlier, HyunA disclosed that she had lost 10 kilograms in only one month through a strict diet regimen. This sudden change drew widespread worry from fans and health experts.

Following her marriage last year to singer Yong Junhyung, HyunA faced persistent pregnancy rumors after subtle changes in her appearance due to weight gain. According to Chosunbiz, the scrutiny prompted her to adopt a strict diet starting October 3.
HyunA issued an apology to her fans following the incident, acknowledging concerns sparked by her health and weight loss.
This highlights the risks of sudden, drastic weight loss and its impact on an artist’s health and career.
