HyunA Collapses During Macau Performance Amid Health Concerns
Singer HyunA fainted on Sunday while performing “Bubble Pop” at the Waterbomb 2025 Macau music festival, causing an abrupt end to the show. Videos shared online show her dancers rushing to assist as she lost consciousness, and a security guard carrying her offstage.
The incident has raised alarm among fans, as HyunA recently disclosed she had lost 10 kilograms within a month amid rumors about weight gain and possible pregnancy. Supporters expressed concern, recalling her past struggles with vasovagal fainting — a condition triggered by sudden drops in heart rate or blood pressure — and other health issues.
HyunA has previously stated that her endurance declines sharply when her weight drops below 45 kilograms, often leading to collapse. Following the episode, she turned to social media to communicate with her fans and express remorse.
“I’m really sorry. It was a short break between performances, but I wanted to show you my best. I don’t remember what 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.”
