Three members of the K-pop group BTS have tested COVID-19 positive after returning from abroad, their management agency said. While RM and Jin were diagnosed with COVID on Saturday, Suga tested positive on Friday, the Big Hit Music agency said in a statement.
The agency added that all three of them had taken the second jabs in August.
As per the agency, RM didn't show any particular symptoms, while Jin showed mild ones including light fever. He is currently undergoing treatment at home. On Friday, the agency stated that Suga did not show any symptoms and was isolating at home.
After returning from the United States earlier this month, RM had tested negative. But he was later diagnosed with the virus ahead of his scheduled release from self-quarantine, the agency said.
The agency continued that Jin took PCR tests twice after returning to South Korea some time back, and tested negative both times. But after having flu-like symptoms on Saturday and undertaking the test again, his results came positive. Media reports said he also had traveled to the US.
Suga was diagnosed during quarantine, after returning from the US.
