The health condition of Huang Zitao has drawn major public concern in China after an alarming incident occurred during the filming of the variety show Shining Universe, Please Pay Attention.
According to Chinese outlet Sohu, the singer suddenly experienced shortness of breath, turned pale, felt dizzy, and nearly fainted while soaking in a hot spring during recording.
The situation caused panic among the entire production team. Fellow celebrities on set quickly rushed to support and hold him, fearing he might collapse and hit his head on the ground. The director immediately halted filming, called an ambulance, and had staff provide on-site care until medical personnel arrived. Fortunately, Huang Zitao’s condition later stabilized.
Chinese media suggested that the health scare may be linked to his past medical history. The singer previously revealed that he suffered a serious accident while practicing martial arts, falling and hitting his head hard on the ground, which resulted in a cerebral hemorrhage. Doctors had to perform emergency surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain. Huang Zitao shared that he received 43 stitches on his head following the operation, though the surgery was ultimately successful.
In addition to his past brain injury, his recent physical condition has also raised concerns. Since late 2025, Huang Zitao has gained weight rapidly, reportedly exceeding 90 kilograms, with a noticeable change in appearance. His intense work schedule and responsibilities as the head of his own entertainment company are believed to have further affected his health. Many netizens have urged him to slow down and prioritize rest to avoid more serious complications.
Born in 1993, Huang Zitao debuted at 19 as a member of the K-pop group EXO under SM Entertainment. He left the group in 2015 due to contract disputes and returned to China to pursue a solo career as a singer and actor. He later founded his own entertainment company, L.TAO Entertainment, where he serves as president.
Huang Zitao is also known as one of the wealthiest idols in Chinese showbiz. He is the son of businessman Huang Zhongdong, who reportedly owned assets worth around $3 billion and extensive real estate in Qingdao. After his father passed away in 2020, Huang Zitao inherited the family fortune.
In October 2025, he married fellow idol Xu Yiyang. The couple has been widely followed by the public and is rumored to have welcomed their first child, though they have not officially confirmed the news.
Following this recent incident, fans hope the star will take better care of his health and reduce his workload to prevent further risks.
