Stylist Saves the Day: A K-Pop Idol's Bleeding Incident on Stage

Periods or monthly menstrual cycles are something every woman must go through, including K-Pop idols. Not only can an idol not take a break whenever she wants, even when she's suffering from cramping, but her period isn't always taken into account when styled. If the group has a particular concept that includes wearing white, she will have to wear white no matter what.

So when former SECRET NUMBER member Denise shared a story while doing her makeup, it was easy to see the direction it was heading.

Denise set the scene. She explained that the group was promoting on music shows.

After their performance, they had some downtime to nap before returning to find out that week's winner.

Everyone was exhausted, so obviously, any chance we got, we were sleeping, and one time after we had done our performance, and we were waiting for the ending shot where they announced who won that week, so I was knocked out on this couch, absolutely just gone.

She revealed that she was styled in a white skirt that day, and it also just so happened to be while she was on her period. So, when she woke up to get ready to return to the stage, she stood up to her stylist's horror.

Her stylist recommended they visit the bathroom together. When Denise looked in the mirror, she realized what had happened. She bled through her skirt.

Denise's stylist enlisted help from the head stylist, who took control of the situation. Rather than switch out Denise's skirt, they thoroughly cleaned and dried it on the spot in the bathroom.

The stylists successfully got the stain out, and Denise made it out on stage on time. Looking back, Denise realized it didn't have to be as stressful a situation as it was, but due to the lack of sleep, there was a lot of stress and tension.
