Former EXO member Z. Tao has been rushed to the emergency room after he collapsed at an airport moments before boarding his flight. The singer is said to have lost consciousness due to over-exhaustion.
In spite of feeling unwell on Dec. 22, Thursday, the K-pop idol continued working and sat through five interviews being the true professional that he is. However, his busy schedule seemed to have taken a toll on his health as the 23-year-old artist fainted at the airport and the news was quickly relayed through social media.
"As we were waiting to interview Huang Zitao this afternoon, we got the message that Tao was ready and we could interview him 40 minutes early," one of his interviewers said in a statement obtained by Koreaboo. "And then we were suddenly told that Tao's not feeling well, so the interview had to be postponed by a bit."
The reporter said that before the interview started, Tao's team had already informed them that the idol was feeling under the weather. According to the staff, the singer had been complaining about headaches and stomach pains and may not be in the best condition for the interview.
But once the interview started, Tao acted very professionally and happily answered all of their questions, the reporter also noted. The former EXO member then asked the staff for permission to watch the Chinese action-comedy film "Railroad Tigers," in which he stars alongside Jackie Chan, according to the reporter.
Several fans expressed their concern over Tao's health. The singer took to Instagram to assure them that he was doing fine and thanked them for their support.
