HaHa has become the fourth member of “Running Man” to be diagnosed with COVID-19, following Kim Jong Kook, Yang Se Chan, and Ji Suk Jin.
On February 12, HaHa’s agency Quan Entertainment released the following statement:
Hello, this is Quan Entertainment.
We are informing you that our artist HaHa learned on February 12 that he has been diagnosed with COVID-19.
On February 9, HaHa used a self-test kit and tested negative, but on the afternoon of February 10, he began to feel unwell and developed symptoms including a sore throat, so he cancelled his schedule and voluntarily went into self-quarantine. On February 11, he used a rapid antigen test and tested positive, and this morning (February 12), his PCR test results ultimately came back positive.
HaHa previously received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, and he has currently halted all scheduled activities and is taking all necessary measures in accordance with the guidelines of government health authorities.
We will make efforts to ensure HaHa’s treatment and speedy recovery, and we will continue to adhere to disease control guidelines in the future and do our utmost to ensure the health and safety of both our artists and everyone else.
Thank you.
Wishing all four “Running Man” members a speedy recovery!

Hello, this is Turbo JK Company.
We are informing you that our artist Kim Jong Kook has tested positive for COVID-19 today (February 10).
Kim Jong Kook felt mild cold symptoms on February 9, so he preemptively tested himself with a self-testing kit, and the results were positive. He then underwent PCR testing and was officially diagnosed with COVID-19 today.
Kim Jong Kook has completed two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, and he is currently not experiencing any major health problems. He has halted all his scheduled activities and is taking necessary measures according to the directions of the disease control authorities.
We will do our best for the treatment and rapid recovery of Kim Jong Kook, and we will continue to follow the guidelines of the disease control authorities and put the health and safety of our artists and staff members first.
SBS also commented about Kim Jong Kook’s variety programs “Running Man” and “My Little Old Boy,” saying, “Since there were no other recording schedules for the two programs before and after Kim Jong Kook tested positive [for COVID-19], it is expected that there will be no major disruptions in future broadcasting. The quarantine period has been shortened to seven days, and there is no recording scheduled within that time, so the broadcast [of the programs] will not be affected.”
Wishing Kim Jong Kook a speedy recovery!
