HyunA says sorry after fainting on stage

A few hours later, she apologized for not being professional enough and said she would try harder to grow stronger.

She wrote (English translation):

“I’m really, really sorry..
It was a short time since the last show,
and I wanted to show you my best,
but I feel like I wasn’t professional.
To be honest, I don’t remember anything either.
I kept thinking about it in so many ways,
and I felt I had to tell you.
ㅠㅠ
So many Macau fans came,
and of course our Aings, too.
Everyone paid money
to come see the stage…
I’m sorry—truly, so sorry.
From now on,
I’ll build up my stamina even more and keep working hard.
If everything could go my way,
that would be great,
but I’ll do my best..!!
Since I was very young until now,
you’ve adored, cherished, and loved
someone as lacking as me,
and I want to say thank you ❤️
And I’m really okay!
Don’t worry about me!
Wishing everyone a good night.. 🌙💤
Sleep well ❤️‼️”

Fans say there is no need to be sorry and to take care of her health first, reminding her that she is beautiful in any shape.

Fans think HyunA’s vasovagal syncope was triggered because of extreme dieting

A few days before her performance, she revealed that she had successfully gone down to 49.88 kilograms, losing 10 kilograms in a month due to a strict diet.

This raises concerns as fans think it may be one of the factors that led to her collapse on stage. Historically, HyunA has vasovagal syncope, which may have been triggered because of extreme dieting.

HyunA was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope in 2020 and temporarily halted her activities. This condition causes a sudden drop in blood pressure and heart rate due to stress, fatigue, extreme weight loss, or dehydration, leading to reduced blood flow to the brain and momentary loss of consciousness. Extreme tension, overwork, or rapid weight changes are known triggers.

Does she really need to say sorry?

HyunA collapsed on stage in the middle of her performance at ‘Waterbomb 2025 Macau’ on November 9. While performing her hit song “Bubble Pop!”, HyunA suddenly fainted. Her back-up dancers, visibly shocked, immediately rushed to her side. A security guard ran onto the stage, lifted her, and carried her off. As she was being carried, the dancers tried to cover her legs. HyunA had previously declared she was dieting on October 3, after rumors of pregnancy began to spread due to weight gain. Just a few days ago, on November 5, she posted a picture of a scale showing 49.88 kg, certifying that she had successfully lost 10 kg in a short period. #kpopfyp #kpop #hyuna #fypppppppppppppp

Fans say no.

More than weight, HyunA’s fans believe that her health should come first—not only for HyunA but for all artists.

In September, pregnancy rumors spread after she was seen with weight gain at Incheon Airport while heading to a festival in Singapore. Maybe it is one of the factors she wanted to lose weight for, to look good on stage.

But given she is in the K-pop industry, her weight and the rumors bother her, as the industry often criticizes the weight of female K-pop idols.
