According to a statement released by the agency, the idol began experiencing symptoms similar to a mild cold over the weekend.

Soon after, she was informed that she tested positive. She is currently following quarantine authorities' guidelines.
In response to the diagnosis, all Weeekly members and staff will be tested for the virus. IST plans to release another statement once they are notified of the results.
