The vibrant energy of the Waterbomb 2025 Macau music festival turned to concern as K-pop star Hyuna suddenly collapsed mid-performance. While performing her signature hit, “Bubble Pop!”, the 33-year-old singer unexpectedly fell to the stage, sending shockwaves through the crowd and sparking immediate worry.
Footage quickly circulated, showing Hyuna dancing alongside her backup performers when she abruptly lost consciousness. Security personnel rushed to her side, swiftly carrying her offstage as fans watched with mounting anxiety. The incident immediately ignited a flurry of concern online.
This event followed a period of heightened scrutiny regarding Hyuna’s health. In recent months, she openly shared her dedication to weight loss, revealing she had shed 10kg in a single month. Prior to that, speculation arose among fans about potential weight gain following her marriage.
Following the onstage collapse, Hyuna addressed her fans with a heartfelt apology. She expressed deep regret, admitting she felt she hadn’t lived up to professional standards. Despite the frightening moment, she assured her supporters she was okay, though she confessed to having no recollection of the incident.
“I’m really sorry,” she wrote. “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 vowed to focus on building her stamina and continuing to work diligently.
The outpouring of support from fans was immediate and overwhelming. Messages flooded social media, expressing concern and encouragement. Many emphasized that her health was the priority, and that rest was crucial.
One fan commented, “I’m rooting for you because you’re human and not perfect. Even professionals will collapse if they push themselves too hard. Take your time, and it’s okay to wait until you’ve fully recovered.” Another simply wrote, “We only care about your health unnie. We love you so please take care.”
This isn’t the first time Hyuna has experienced a fainting episode. A previous album release was delayed due to vasovagal syncope, a condition characterized by a sudden drop in blood pressure often triggered by prolonged standing, heat, stress, dehydration, or pain. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the physical demands placed on performers.
