As we did with the earlier confirmed cases, we have been taking preemptive measures beyond the requirements of the quarantine guidlines.
Regardless of whether there was close contact, we are continuing to have our artists and employees undergo COVID-19 tests and also disinfect their residential spaces.
We plan to quickly inform you of our situation in the future, and will continue to take all necessary measures to restore the health of our artists to prevent the spread of COVID-19."
Get well Junhoe and Yoshi!!! 🙏
