Big Hit Entertainment has shared that Jungkook has been tested for coronavirus after visiting a restaurant and a bar in Itaewon.
It followed reports that Jungkook, NCT 127 star Jaehyun, Mingyu from SEVENTEEN and Cha Eunwoo from ASTRO went on a night out in Itaewon on 25 April until the early hours of 26 April.
Their agencies – Big Hit Entertainment, SM Entertainment, Pledis Entertainment and Fantagio respectively – confirmed to South Korean media that each idol did go out in Itaewon, but they did not have symptoms and tested negative for coronavirus.
However the agencies did not confirm whether Jungkook, Jaehyun, Cha Eunwoo and Mingyu were out together. Jungkook is ‘feeling deeply regretful’ for not practicing social distancing.
