A video showing Joy from girl group Red Velvet collapsing on stage has been uploaded online, worrying her fans.
The video was taken when the SM Entertainment group performed its debut track, “Happiness,” at a university festival in Gyeonggi Province on May 26.
In the fan-taken video, Joy suddenly falls to the floor while covering her ears. She regains her feet but keeps stumbling.
Other band members tell her to go back stage, but she refuses.
This video has ignited fan concerns for her health.
“Although it seemed that she was startled by the air cannons, which were used for stage effect, I am deeply worried about Joy’s condition,” a fan said. “I hope the members take good care of themselves to stay healthy.”
Meanwhile, the five-member group has been reportedly working on its new album for a July comeback.
