The band had canceled tours, the singers were always careful – but three of the BTS singers are now infected with the corona virus, as management has now reported.
The South Korean pop band BTS was on the road to success for years when the corona pandemic changed the world. At the height of their career, the seven musicians had to cancel tours and performances, award ceremonies and video shoots. Jin, Suga, RM, Jimin, Yungkook, J-Hope and V made the most of it and took all necessary precautions to not endanger themselves or their fans. But now the virus caught the band anyway.
Fortunately, not the entire seven-piece band is affected – only three members are sick. Jin, rapper Suga and RM got infected. Apparently all three, independently of one another, came into contact with Corona while traveling to the USA. Corona tests only showed a positive result on the return trip to Korea. All three were double-vaccinated but had not yet received a booster.
BTS members probably got infected in the USA
Fortunately, none of the singers suffered from severe symptoms, probably thanks to the vaccination. Jin, 29, said she felt like she had the flu. He is now sparing himself for the time being and is healing himself. RM and Suga also remain in quarantine and take it easy, but so far they are completely symptom-free and feel good. All of your band mates have not been tested corona-positive.
If the three people affected get too annoyed about having been caught by Corona after almost two years of pandemic despite all caution, it might help them to remember their gigantic successes of recent times: With the mega hit “Butter” they stormed the charts worldwide, in the “Billboard Top 100” they were represented with several numbers right at the top, and also at the MTV Music Awards, where they also performed live (also together with the British band Coldplay), BTS immediately cleared awards in several coveted categories.
