SEVENTEEN - JEONGHAN
SEVENTEEN member JEONGHAN has been confirmed to be infected with COVID-19.
Agency Pledis Entertainment confirmed on April 13 that JEONGHAN tested positive after using a self-diagnosis kit during the day. “We immediately performed a rapid antigen test and our artist was confirmed to be infected with COVID-19,” the agency said.
Currently, JEONGHAN is suffering from sore throat and mild coughing symptoms, and is undergoing home treatment. That day, JEONGHAN and other SEVENTEEN members MINGYU and VERNON had contact for a while, but all of them were wearing masks and there was no close contact. All other members are not showing any particular symptoms at this time, Pledis Entertainment said.
JEONGHAN will not be able to participate in the future program of SEVENTEEN at this time. The timetable for the resumption of activities will be communicated later.
Pledis Entertainment said:
“We will make the artist’s health a top priority and do our best to get him well and recover quickly, so that JEONGHAN can meet his fans in good health. We will also faithfully cooperate with requests and directives from quarantine authorities.”
SEVENTEEN will release its first English single “Darl+ing” on April 15.
