After taking a self-test kit, he also took a rapid antigen test at a hospital to confirm his positive result. Namoo said that Joon-gi frequently takes rapid antigen tests and PCR tests before all of his activities. As of now, Joon-gi only has a mild sore throat.
However, all of his planned activities have been canceled in the meantime as he recovers. “He will take measures in accordance to guidelines of health authorities. As we prioritize our agency actor’s health and safety, we will do everything we can so he can recover his health,” Namoo Actors said.
