#GetWellSoonJungkook: Jungkook (BTS) tested positive for Covid-19 after arriving in the US

After Jungkook tested positive for Covid upon arrival in the United States, the hashtag #GetWellSoonJungkook is trending internationally on Twitter. Covid-19 has been found in Jeon Jungkook, the youngest member of the South Korean boy band BTS. J-Hope, another septet member, was diagnosed with Covid-19 only last week.

Jungkook flew to the United States on March 27 but tested positive once he arrived. Jungkook will be placed in self-quarantine, according to a statement released on Weverse by BigHit Music, BTS’s management organisation.

Informed the statement, “Jung Kook was tested negative on a PCR test in Korea, and he departed for the United States on Sunday, March 27 (KST) in preparation for the Grammy Awards performance. After arriving in Las Vegas, he felt a slight discomfort in his throat and promptly took a rapid PCR test (COVID-19 molecular PCR test) and a standard PCR test (COVID-19 quantitative PCR test) on the afternoon of Sunday, March 27 (PT). While being under self-quarantine as a proactive measure, the result of both tests came back positive, and Jung Kook was confirmed with COVID-19 on Monday, March 28 (PT).”

It added, “Jung Kook’s participation in the later schedule in the United States will be determined by the local regulations on COVID-19, while we are actively in discussion with the awards organizer.”

As word of BTS’ Golden Maknae’s illness spread on Twitter, ARMYs all over the world flooded the microblogging site with ‘get well soon’ wishes.
