BTS’ Jungkook Tested For Coronavirus After Night Out

BTS' Jungkook and a group of other K-Pop stars have tested negative for coronavirus after going out to a restaurant and a bar in Seoul, South Korea, last month.

Jungkook, NCT 127’s Jaehyun, SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu and Cha Eunwoo reportedly had to get tested for COVID-19 after they failed to practice social distancing measures during a night out on April 25, according to multiple outlets.

“Jungkook visited a restaurant and bar in the neighborhood of Itaewon with his acquaintances,” a statement from BTS management, Big Hit Entertainment, read, via NME. “He showed no symptoms of COVID-19 such as coughing or a fever following the visit. He voluntarily received a test for COVID-19 at a government-designated hospital and tested negative.

“The artist himself is currently feeling deeply regretful for not having faithfully contributed to the entire society’s social distancing efforts,” the statement added.

Meanwhile, BTS recently announced that they’ll be performing a live-streamed concert called ‘Bang Bang Con: The Live’ on June 14.
