HyunA Collapses During Macau Show Amid Health Concerns
Singer HyunA fainted during her performance of “Bubble Pop” at the Waterbomb 2025 Macau music festival, causing an abrupt stop to the show. Videos shared online depict backup dancers rushing to assist as she lost consciousness, with a security guard carrying her offstage. Fans have voiced serious concern about her health since the incident.
Recently, HyunA disclosed that she had shed 10 kilograms within one month, following online speculation about her appearance and possible pregnancy. Concern grew further because she has a history of vasovagal syncope, which occurs when blood pressure or heart rate drops suddenly. In past interviews, HyunA mentioned that she tends to collapse when her weight falls below 45 kilograms.
“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.”
