Hyeri looked back on the time she fainted on stage during her promotions with Girl’s Day.
On the 22nd, Hyeri talked about her experiences of fainting alongside actress Park Kyunghye on her personal Youtube channel.
When Park Kyunghye asked whether she had ever fainted before, Hyeri answered, "If you search 'Hyeri fainting,' it comes up."
Regarding the situation at the time, Hyeri explained, "I came home after participating in curling at 'Idol Star Athletics Championships,' and I felt freezing cold. I went to sleep with the electric blanket turned up to the highest setting, but I was still freezing."
She continued, "I went to the hospital, but because there was a music show scheduled, everyone was scrambling over whether I should perform or not. I received an IV drip, and in the end we decided I would skip rehearsal and only go on for the live broadcast."
Hyeri shared that she stayed lying down right until she had to go on stage. She said, "I was lying there thinking, 'I really don’t think I can do this,' and then I went up on stage. After the first verse, there’s a choreography move where you raise your arm, and the moment I did that, I felt something crack in the back of my neck, and after that I don’t remember anything."
Despite that, she still managed to finish the performance. Hyeri recalled, "By the time it ended, my face was completely drenched in sweat. Still, I just thought, 'Let’s just finish this somehow.' I couldn’t even sing properly."
She added, "The performance ended with us facing away from the audience. The moment I sat down, all the tension broke and I felt like I was going to throw up. Then I blacked out."
Hyeri reflected, "Well, that was something that happened more than 10 years ago. It’s not something worth admiring. Everyone goes to work even when they’re sick, right? But if it happened now, I probably would’ve postponed it because I felt way too unwell. Back then, I was part of a team."
Back in 2014, Hyeri collapsed after finishing Girls' Day’s performance of 'Something' on a music show and was later taken to the hospital for treatment.
