Singer HyunA fainted while performing at the Waterbomb 2025 music festival in Macau, leading to an immediate pause in the show. Videos show dancers rushing to assist her as she lost consciousness, with a security guard carrying her offstage.
Fans expressed concern about her health following the incident. HyunA recently revealed she lost 10 kilograms in one month amid rumors about weight gain and possible pregnancy. She has a history of vasovagal fainting caused by sudden drops in heart rate or blood pressure, alongside other health issues.
HyunA has previously stated that her stamina plummets and she collapses when her weight goes below 45 kilograms.
On social media, HyunA wrote: “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 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.”
