Altitude sickness vs. Packed schedule: The reason why LOONA’s Yeojin collapsed on stage during Mexico City concert

LOONA’s agency has issued a statement regarding Yeojin’s health, but fans are unhappy about it. 

The reason why LOONA’s youngest member Yeojin fainted on stage during the group’s overseas concert is being argued. LOONA’s agency explained that she was suffering from a temporary breathing difficulty.  However, fans pointed out that LOONA’s packed concert schedule is the cause.

On August 30th, Blockberry Creative, LOONA’s agency released an official statement, saying, “Member Yeojin had a temporary breathing problem right after a dance performance at the concert in Mexico City, an area with high altitude. She is in stable condition after being taken care of by the on-site medical staff. We will put the artist’s health and safety first, and will support Yeojin so that she can recover her health as soon as possible.”

However, many LOONA’s fans have different thoughts on the situation. They pointed out that LOONA members have been suffering from overly tight touring schedules. The members could not take a break because they had to perform once every two days. In fact, LOONA made a comeback right after Mnet’s “Queendom” ended and went on a world tour immediately. In the middle of their concerts, LOONA also performed at the 2022 KCON held in LA.

Currently, fans are expressing their anger at Blockberry Creative for only mentioning altitude sickness and not addressing LOONA’s packed schedule as what has led to the members’ worrying health conditions. 

Earlier, on August 29th, a video of Yeojin collapsing on stage during LOONA’s concert in Mexico City was posted on various online communities and SNS. At that time, Yeojin stumbled on stage, lost her balance and passed out. She then received emergency treatment by on-site medical staff.
