Singer HyunA collapsed during a performance in Macau, prompting an immediate halt to the show. She later took to social media to ease fans’ concerns.
HyunA fainted on Sunday while performing “Bubble Pop” at the Waterbomb 2025 Macau music festival. Videos circulating online show dancers rushing to support her as she lost consciousness, and a security guard carrying her offstage. Fans have since expressed concern about her health.
She recently revealed that she had lost 10 kilograms in just 1 month, following rumors of weight gain and a possible pregnancy.
Fans worried because she has a history of vasovagal fainting, resulting from sudden drops in heart rate or blood pressure, as well as other health issues. HyunA has previously said that her stamina drops sharply and she collapses when her weight falls below 45 kilograms.
HyunA wrote on her social media, “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.”
She apologized again and added, “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.”
