K-pop sensation HyunA caused a stir among her fans when she collapsed during a performance on November 9. The incident occurred while she was performing her popular song “Bubble Pop” at a music festival in Macau, China. Following the incident, HyunA took to social media to express her regret over the incident.
In a post that was originally written in Korean and later translated, HyunA expressed her apologies to her fans. She admitted that she couldn’t recall anything about the performance and promised to work on improving her stamina. She also expressed her desire for things to go as planned and promised to work hard towards achieving that.
Her fans were quick to show their support, flooding her comment section with messages of encouragement. One fan pointed out that the issue was not about stamina or professionalism, but about the need for K-pop companies to prioritize the health and well-being of their artists. The fan argued that artists look more attractive when they are healthy and happy, rather than overworked and struggling with unhealthy weight loss.
Another fan criticized whoever had advised HyunA to apologize, suggesting that the same person might have been responsible for her health issues. The fan advised HyunA to listen to her body and take breaks when necessary, emphasizing the importance of both mental and physical health.
HyunA’s collapse came after a series of social media posts in which she focused on her weight. Just days before her performance in China, she had posted a photo of a scale on Instagram, indicating that she still had a long way to go to reach her ideal weight. Earlier in October, she had posted several photos that seemed to encourage herself to lose more weight.
HyunA began her K-pop career with the group Wonder Girls in 2007. She launched her solo career in 2010 with the single “Change” and released her EP “Bubble Pop!” in 2011. Besides her solo career, HyunA has also performed with other groups, including Trouble Maker and Triple H.
