BTS’ Jungkook tests positive for Covid after landing in US ahead of Grammy’s, ARMY prays for his and J-Hope’s recovery

“While being under self-quarantine as a proactive measure, the result of both tests came back positive, and Jungkook was confirmed with Covid-19 on Monday, March 28 (PT). Jungkook has been currently under self-quarantine and treatment, following the guidelines of health authorities in the United States. He is not exhibiting any symptoms other than a mild sore throat, and we will attentively monitor his health during the quarantine,” it added.

The statement further read, “Jungkook’s participation in the later schedule in the United States will be determined by the local regulations on Covid-19, while we are actively in discussion with the awards organizer. We would like to extend our sincerest apologies to our fans for causing you concern despite our effort to take all necessary measures for our artists’ health prior to and throughout the schedule in the United States. We ask for your generous understanding and support from all our fans.” ARMY has taken to social media, sending wishes to Jungkook and J-Hope, hoping they have a speedy recovery.

On Monday, BTS members RM, Suga, Jin, and V had travelled to the US, while Jungkook had departed earlier. J-Hope, who has also tested positive, is currently under quarantine in Seoul. The members are expected to perform at live shows in April, but it is uncertain if all seven would be on stage.
