BTS’ V Tests Positive For COVID-19 + Experiences Mild Symptoms
Get well soon, our winter bear, Kim Taehyung!
Big Hit Music has announced that BTS’ V has been diagnosed with COVID-19.
Just recently, BTS’ agency released an official announcement through its fan community platform, Weverse.
“V visited the hospital Tuesday afternoon on the 15th after experiencing a mild sore throat and took the PCR test. He was diagnosed with COVID-19 tonight,” the agency said.
According to Big Hit Music, V has already completed two rounds of COVID-19 vaccinations. Currently, he is not presenting any extraordinary symptoms other than a mild fever and sore throat.
“He is currently undergoing treatment at home while waiting for further guidelines from the health care authorities,” the agency added.
Last weekend, V met with the other BTS members but everyone was wearing a mask, and there was no close contact. The agency shared, “None of the BTS members other than V are presenting any symptoms, and everyone received negative results from the preemptive self-tests.”
Moreover, the agency noted that they will continue to make their artists’ health as their top priority.
V became the fifth member of BTS to have tested positive for COVID-19. Earlier this month, Jimin was discharged from the hospital after recovering from the virus and his appendicitis surgery.
In December 2021, RM, Jin, and Suga were also diagnosed with COVID-19 and recovered after almost two weeks.
