ATEEZ Gets Preemptively Tested For COVID-19 After Staff Tests Positive

A staff member who worked with ATEEZ has tested positive for COVID-19. The members of ATEEZ have been tested for the virus and will be self-isolating until the results are released.

KQ Entertainment released a statement on July 6 to inform fans about the situation. Read a translation below.

Hello. This is KQ Entertainment.

Today (July 6), ATEEZ was informed that one of the outsourced staff members that they worked with during a recent promotional activity had tested positive for COVID-19.

While the health authorities did not officially ask the ATEEZ members to be tested, they were preemptively tested for COVID-19 for the safety of the artists and staff, and they will enter self-quarantine until the test results are revealed.

Therefore, member Yeosang will unfortunately not be carrying out his scheduled activity as an MC on SBS MTV’s “The Show” today.

We ask the fans who were waiting as well as the production team of “The Show” for their kind understanding.

We will share another announcement about the results of ATEEZ’s COVID-19 tests as soon as possible.

We apologize for causing fans to worry with the sudden news. We will do our best to follow the guidelines set by health authorities according to the results of the tests and do our best for the sake of our artists’ health and safety.

Thank you.
