The agency also added that Chaeyoung feels truly sorry toward fans who were waiting to see her. Read on to know more!
As per reports, Vasovagal syncope is the medical term for the most common type of fainting. It happens when the body overreacts to certain triggers and makes the heart slow down and blood pressure drop. This makes the person feel dizzy before passing out for a few seconds. Many idols have faced the same issue in the past, and companies now take it seriously.
Fans, aka ONCEs, are showing immense support and wishing for her speedy recovery. User @oldfashionedjaz âthis is so upsetting; this is the same thing hyuna has and ive seen what happens to her sometimes⌠i hope chae gets so much rest before coming back.â Another user, @JayExThree, wrote, âNot eating enough, not sleeping enough â why is the company not taking better care of them? They need more rest between tour dates. You canât just give them an IV drip and call it a day.â
