Hard work, constant practice, schedules without breaks, such conditions often lead to idols overworking themselves. Even though many may not admit it in fear of looking or seeming weak in front of fans and critics, since we all know how ruthless news channels can be, idols are perhaps the most overworked during performance and award season.
As such, there have been many instances of idols falling over due to weakness or sometimes even straight-up fainting. There have been times when idols have had to be taken off stage in the middle of a performance. Here's a list of some of the times idols fainted on stage.
1. f(x) Krystal
Fans or non-fans, no one can ever forget the terrifying incident when Krystal fainted on stage during f(x)'s "Mr. Boogie" performance. In the middle of the performance, she started wavering and her energy started looking as if it kept going down. Before anyone could tell, she fell to the floor lifelessly. She had fainted and had to be carried out off stage.
The incident worried fans and the other members immensely. Once more, Krystal also fainted on Kim Yuna's Kiss & Cry. After her performance, she collapsed with her head drooping. She struggled to hold herself up but was losing consciousness.
During a performance of "Something" which is now unforgettable due to the shocking condition of Hyeri on that day, Hyeri collapsed right after the performance after barely enduring during the same. When she couldn't even stand up after a while, she was carried out on her manager's back and taken to the hospital. Later she was diagnosed with fatigue and a cold.
3. MBLAQ Seungho
In a situation that could have potentially turned deadly, Seungho attempted an acrobatic flip only to lose consciousness right in the middle of it. He landed on his neck and became completely motionless. Soon it was clear that he had collapsed. This was a really scary incident as Seungho survived a potentially fatal situation by a tiny margin.
4. SHINee Onew
In 2009 after SHINee's performance on KBS's Music Bank, the group left the stage when the support structure for the light started looking weird and began to collapse. One of the fixtures fell to the floor, nearly hitting Onew, and he passed out from the shock.
5. HyunA
PNATION
It is a commonly known fact that HyunA is one of the most hard working idols in the industry. All that tireless work and sleepless nights finally proved too much for HyunA on May 6, 2013 when she fainted in the middle of her schedules and was taken to the hospital. Later it turned out that she was suffering from high fever and dehydration.
During the performance of "Mermaid," SinB's face started growing paler and paler as her energy dropped until she collapsed on stage. Other members immediately rushed to her aid. It was extremely heartbreaking to see her fallen on the floor like that due to overworking and fatigue.
