Seoul — It was reported on Dec 24 last year that BTS member Suga tested positive for COVID-19. Two other members of BTS, RM and Jin also contracted the virus around the same period.
RM, Jin and Suga were diagnosed with the virus after their return to South Korea following BTS’s first pandemic-era US concerts. Suga has been fully vaccinated, and he underwent self-isolation once he returned to South Korea. The singer did not experience any “special symptoms” during the time his diagnosis was announced.
On Jan 3, BTS’ agency BIGHIT Music announced that Suga has recovered fully from COVID-19. The following day, it was announced by the agency that all three out of the seven members of BTS have recovered from the coronavirus.
