K-pop Star HyunA Collapses Onstage After Rapid Weight Loss
South Korean pop star HyunA sparked alarm among fans after fainting during her performance at the Waterbomb 2025 Macau festival. The 33-year-old singer collapsed while performing her hit song “Bubble Pop.”
Video circulating on social media showed HyunA suddenly losing consciousness onstage. Her backup dancers quickly assisted her, and a security guard carried her off the stage.
Health Concerns Linked to Rapid Weight Loss
Just weeks before the incident, HyunA revealed she had lost 10 kilograms in only one month through a strict diet. This rapid weight loss drew widespread concern from fans and health experts.
“Extreme changes can result in fatigue, dizziness, and nutritional deficiencies—factors that may have contributed to her collapse,” noted health specialists.
A report in The Korea Times highlighted HyunA’s recent openness about her intense diet regimen and its possible impact on her health.

After marrying fellow singer Yong Junhyung last year, HyunA faced rumors about pregnancy due to slight changes in her appearance related to weight gain. According to Chosunbiz, this scrutiny prompted her to begin a strict diet on October 3.
“The scrutiny led her to start a strict diet plan on October 3.”
