Singer HyunA fainted on Sunday while performing “Bubble Pop” at the Waterbomb 2025 Macau music festival. The show was immediately stopped as dancers rushed to help, and a security guard carried her offstage. Videos of the moment circulated widely online, and fans expressed concern for her condition.
HyunA recently shared that she lost 10 kilograms in just one month, following rumors about weight gain and possible pregnancy. Fans were alarmed, recalling her past issues with vasovagal fainting, which can be triggered by sudden drops in heart rate or blood pressure. The singer has previously said that when her weight dips below 45 kilograms, her stamina declines sharply, sometimes causing her to collapse.
“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.”
Through her message, HyunA reassured fans she would take care of her health and expressed gratitude for their continued support.
