WINNER's Kim Jin Woo Diagnosed With COVID-19 Amidst Comeback Promotions

Just one week into WINNER’s comeback, Kim Jin Woo has tested positive for COVID-19.

On July 12, YG Entertainment officially announced that Kim Jin Woo had cancelled all of his scheduled activities after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

The other three members of WINNER have all tested negative, and YG Entertainment has not yet come to a decision regarding their future activities.

Last week, WINNER made their return with the mini album “HOLIDAY” and its title track “I LOVE U,” marking their first comeback as a group in over two years. On July 11, the group temporarily halted music show promotions due to Kang Seung Yoon suffering an ankle injury during a performance.

YG Entertainment’s full statement regarding Kim Jin Woo is as follows:

This is YG Entertainment.

Today (July 12), WINNER member Kim Jin Woo tested positive on the [routine] COVID-19 test he underwent ahead of his [scheduled] radio appearance, and he therefore cancelled his scheduled activities.

The other three members (Kang Seung Yoon, Song Mino, and Lee Seung Hoon) all tested negative, and we will come to a decision on the future schedule of the WINNER members aside from Kim Jin Woo after monitoring various situations, in accordance with the guidelines of government health authorities.

Our agency considers our artist’s health our top priority, and we are giving him our unsparing support. We would be grateful if you rooted for Kim Jin Woo’s quick recovery.

Wishing Kim Jin Woo the speediest of recoveries!
