KIM JAE JOONG posted a message on his Instagram on April 1st, confirming that he was infected with Covid-19, but said: “It was an April Fool joke”, about an hour later, arousing public outrage. He said the reason for the lie was “to publicize the Covid-19”, but many criticized his behavior for going too far.
Since then, not only domestic but also foreign media like Japan, the United States, Britain and China have rushed to react to this April Fool’s lie, “We are not joking with the Covid- 19″. As the situation escalated, KIM JAE JOONG twice apologized on Instagram, but that didn’t make a difference.
