BTS’ Suga tests negative for COVID-19, return to daily activities

Kpop sensation BTS’ member Suga who had earlier tested positive for COVID-19, has finally recuperated from the deadly virus. Confirming the same, the boyband’s agency on Monday shared a health update.

Quoted by several Korean news outlets, the official statement read, “Hello, this is Big Hit Music.We would like to inform you that BTS member SUGA has made a full recovery from COVID-19, and his quarantine has concluded as of today (January 3) at noon. Suga, who had been receiving treatment from home for the past 10 days from Friday, December 24, is now able to return to his daily activities. Suga did not exhibit any particular symptoms during his quarantine and is currently recuperating while resting at home.”

“We would like to thank all fans who have shown concern for the artist’s health as well as those in the medical field who are doing their best to overcome COVID-19.We will continue to place the health of the artists as our top priority and vigilantly follow health care guidelines.Thank you” it added.

Suga had contracted the virus right before Christmas 2021 after returning to South Korea from the US where the Bangtan Boys held their 'Permission To Dance on stage' concert in LA.

Meanwhile, two other bandmates, RM and Jin are currently in isolation after they too had tested positive on December 25. RM had previously said he is doing "very good", days after fans were spotted worried for the boys on the internet. BTS' management company Big Hit Entertainment had said in a statement on Saturday that much like Suga, RM and Jin, had too contracted the virus following their return from the US.
