Singer HyunA fainted on Sunday while performing “Bubble Pop” at the Waterbomb 2025 music festival in Macau, causing the show to stop immediately.
Videos online show dancers rushing to assist her as she lost consciousness, and a security guard carrying her offstage. Fans quickly expressed concern about her condition.
HyunA recently shared that she lost 10 kilograms within one month amid rumors about weight gain and pregnancy. Fans were worried because she has a history of vasovagal fainting, which happens due to sudden drops in heart rate or blood pressure, along with other health problems.
She previously explained that her stamina decreases sharply and she collapses when her weight falls below 45 kilograms.
“I’m really sorry. It was a short break between performances, but I wanted to show you my best. I don’t remember anything that happened, and I feel like I wasn’t professional.”
“I’ll try to build my strength and keep working hard. It would be great if everything went the way I want, but I’ll try. I want to thank you for loving and supporting me from when I was so young until now.”
This report from the Hankook Ilbo, a sister publication of The Korea Times, was translated by generative AI and edited by The Korea Times.
Summary: HyunA's collapse onstage is linked to her rapid weight loss and underlying health issues; she apologized and vowed to regain strength while thanking her supporters.
