Seoul — Jun Ji Hyun’s mother-in-law, designer Lee Jung Woo has responded to reports of a COVID-19 diagnosis. Lee Jung Woo was reportedly suffering from COVID-19 on July 15 but a representative (rep) has clarified the rumours.

The rep explained Lee Jung Woo tested positive 3 months ago, but added that she’s now fully recovered, saying, “She’s currently completely recovered. It was reported as if she tested positive recently, so she was caught offguard.”

According to Jun Ji Hyun’s label, “There are currently no abnormalities related to COVID-19. Jun Ji Hyun plans to complete her schedule for ‘Kingdom: Ashin of the North’ as planned.”

In other news, ‘Kingdom: Ashin of the North’ premieres on Netflix on July 23 KST, according to Allkpop.
