On November 9, 2025, during the WATERBOMB FESTIVAL 2025 in Macau, AT AREA’s singer HYUNA suddenly fainted in the middle of her performance of « Bubble pop! ».
In videos shared on social media, her dancers can be seen rushing to support her as soon as she collapses, followed by a security guard carrying her off the stage.
What especially worried fans was that HYUNA had recently lost 10 kgs in just one month following an intense diet. On October 3, she announced on social media that she was starting a diet, and a month later, on November 4, she shared a photo of her scale showing 49 kgs, writing : « Dropping below 50 kgs has been really tough. I realize now how much I had been eating until then. »
Fortunately, the singer later regained consciousness and took to her Instagram account to apologize.
I’m really, really sorry. I wanted to show only my best side, but I wasn’t professional today. Honestly, I don’t remember anything that happened… I thought a lot before saying this, but I wanted to tell you. You all paid to come and see this performance, and I’m sorry, truly sorry.
From now on, I’ll work on improving my stamina and keep working hard. I wish everything could go the way I want, but I’ll do my best. Since I was very young, you’ve supported me despite my flaws, and I want to thank you for all that love. I’m okay, so please don’t worry about me, and have a good night, everyone.
This incident reminds us just how much pressure our favorite artists can put on themselves to appear at their best. Let’s not forget to show them all the kindness and love they truly deserve.
