Is HyunA's Collapse During Macau Show Due to Rapid Weight Loss?
Singer HyunA fainted during her performance of "Bubble Pop" at the Waterbomb 2025 music festival in Macau, causing the show to stop immediately.
Videos from the event show her dancers quickly supporting her as she lost consciousness, while a security guard carried her offstage. Fans have since expressed concern about her health.
HyunA recently revealed she lost 10 kilograms in just one month amid rumors of weight gain and a possible pregnancy. She has a history of vasovagal fainting, which involves sudden drops in heart rate or blood pressure, and other health issues.
Previously, HyunA mentioned that her stamina decreases sharply and she collapses if 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.”
