K-pop artist HyunA experienced a severe health scare during her live performance at the Waterbomb Festival in Macau on Sunday evening. While performing her 2011 hit “Bubble Pop,” she suddenly halted and collapsed on stage. Dancers immediately surrounded her before a bodyguard carried her off the stage for medical assistance.
Fans expressed deep concern across social media, waiting anxiously for news. Hours later, HyunA shared an update with her followers on Instagram, explaining that she was recovering and feeling better.
“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 said. “I just want to say thank you for admiring, cherishing, and loving me since I was very young, even though I’ve always been lacking. Don’t worry about me.”
Many fans speculated that the fainting incident was connected to her recent significant weight loss—around 10 kilograms in just a month—reportedly due to a strict diet. Others noted that HyunA has long dealt with vasovagal syncope, a medical condition that causes frequent blackouts and emotional stress, which may have contributed to the episode.
HyunA’s vasovagal syncope has previously led to fainting episodes, making her recent collapse consistent with her known medical history. Despite the frightening incident, she reassured her audience that there was no need for alarm and that she planned to rest and recover fully.
