Korean Singer Hyuna Collapses On Stage at Macau Music Festival
South Korean singer HyunA collapsed during her performance at the Waterbomb 2025 music festival in Macau on Sunday, November 9. While performing her hit song "Bubble Pop!", she suddenly fainted and fell to the floor. Backup dancers quickly assisted her, and security carried her off stage, causing a temporary halt to the show.
Health Concerns and Background
This incident raised concerns about HyunA's health, with speculation connecting her collapse to recent rapid weight loss. The singer had revealed on Instagram that she lost 10 kilograms (about 22 pounds) in one month through a strict diet. This followed pregnancy rumors triggered by weight gain after her marriage in October 2024.
Previous Medical Condition
In 2020, HyunA was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope, a condition causing sudden drops in blood pressure and heart rate, often triggered by stress, fatigue, or extreme dieting. Medical experts note that rapid weight loss can cause nutritional imbalances and exhaustion, which likely contributed to her fainting.

After regaining consciousness and resting, HyunA apologized to her fans, known as "A-ings," via Instagram for the incident.
Industry Pressure Highlighted
The event sparked discussions about the intense pressure and strict beauty standards faced by artists within the K-pop industry.
