K-Pop star HyunA collapsed on stage during a performance at a festival in China, raising concerns about her health. The former Wonder Girls singer, 33, sparked worry among fans with a social media post hinting at significant weight loss before the incident.
The incident occurred while HyunA was performing her 2011 hit “Bubble Pop” at the Waterbomb 2025 festival in Macau, China, on November 9. A TikTok video captured the moment when she collapsed on stage, after turning her back to the audience during a dance move. Security rushed to help her offstage after she fell.
In the aftermath, HyunA took to social media to address the situation. In an Instagram post featuring a black square, she apologised for not being able to perform as professionally as she wanted and expressed not remembering the incident. She acknowledged the support of her fans who had come to see her perform and vowed to improve her stamina for future performances.
Prior to her collapse, HyunA had caused concern among fans by sharing a photo on Instagram showing her bruised and cut feet on a scale, with her weight registering below 50 kg (approximately 110 lbs). Fans speculated that she might have lost around 10 kg (about 20 lbs) in one month based on her caption joking about changing the first digit of her weight.
According to reports, HyunA has a history of collapsing due to vasovagal syncope, a condition that causes a drop in heart rate and blood pressure, leading to a brief loss of consciousness. She has mentioned being susceptible to collapsing when her weight drops below 45 kg.
The incident has stirred conversation around the pressures faced by K-Pop stars and the importance of prioritising health and well-being. Fans have expressed their concern and support for HyunA as she navigates her health challenges and continues her music career.
As HyunA focuses on her recovery and well-being, her fans are rallying around her with messages of love and encouragement. The incident serves as a reminder of the physical and mental toll that fame and performance can take on artists, highlighting the need for self-care and support within the entertainment industry.
HyunA’s openness about her health struggles provides an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of seeking help and taking care of oneself, especially in high-pressure environments like the music industry. Her fans and supporters are hoping for her swift recovery and return to the stage with renewed strength and vitality.
