BTS‘ J-Hope is resting up after testing positive for COVID-19.
The K-pop star visited a hospital Wednesday (March 23) with a sore throat, and, after taking a PCR test, was diagnosed with the novel coronavirus, reads a statement from BigHit Music.
J-Hope is fully-vaxxed, currently has “no symptoms other than a sore throat,” and is undergoing treatment at home while under quarantine, the statement adds.
When he’s out and about, the singer should return to active duties next month, reps say. Which means J-Hope should be fit in time for BTS’ sold-out Permission To Dance On Stage – Las Vegas concerts.
There’s additional good news for ARMY: Except for J-Hope, all BTS members are in good health and not presenting with “special symptoms.”
