Singer HyunA collapsed on stage during her performance of “Bubble Pop” at the Waterbomb 2025 Macau music festival. The concert was stopped immediately as dancers and security personnel rushed to assist her. A guard carried her offstage while fans looked on in shock.
Videos of the incident quickly spread online, and many supporters voiced concern for her wellbeing. HyunA has previously spoken about health struggles, including vasovagal fainting, which can occur when her heart rate or blood pressure suddenly drops. She also mentioned that when her weight drops below 45 kilograms, her stamina declines sharply, sometimes causing her to faint.
Recently, HyunA revealed she had lost 10 kilograms within one month, following public discussion about her appearance. This revelation deepened fans’ worries about her condition.
“I’m really sorry. It was just a short break between shows, but I wanted to do 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 as I hoped, but I’ll keep trying. I’m thankful for all the love and support you’ve given me since I was young.”

HyunA’s onstage collapse in Macau has reignited discussions about her health, rapid weight loss, and the dangers of overexertion in performance culture.
