South Korean boy band BTS member Suga has been tested positive for coronavirus after the group's concert in the United States. The news was confirmed by their management company Big hit Entertainment.
The 28-year-old, Suga, whose real name is Min Yoon-gi is said to be asymptomatic and has received his second dose of a Covid-19 vaccine in August.
The songwriter and rapper for the group who had been tested several times over the past few weeks was confirmed to have contracted the virus on Friday during his self quarantine when the positive result came out. He has not recently been in contact with any members of the group, Jin, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.
"Suga completed his second round of the COVID-19 vaccination in late August and is not presenting any symptoms as of today. He is currently administering self-care at home as per the guidelines of the healthcare authorities," the statement read.
"Suga, who has had a number of personal engagements in the US during BTS’ official time off, had tested negative for the PCR test taken before travelling to the US, and began his self-quarantine after taking the PCR test upon his return to Korea," it added.
BTS has since take a break for year-end holidays after a series of concerts in the US. Suga returned to South Korea on December 13 and tested positive on Christmas Eve.
