ENHYPEN member Jake has tested positive for COVID-19.
On July 21, Belift Lab released an official statement, revealing that Jake has been diagnosed with COVID-19. On the same day, the group's label also confirmed that his fellow member Jay also tested positive for COVID-19.
Belift Lab's statement is as follows:
"Hello.
This is BELIFT LAB.
We would like to provide you with some information on ENHYPEN member JAKE's COVID-19 confirmation and adjustments in his activities.
JAKE tested positive from a rapid antigen test on the afternoon of the 21st (Thursday). He is currently showing symptoms like mild body ache and is currently being treated at home away from the other members.
All other ENHYPEN members other than JAY and JAKE also preemptively took self-tests on the morning of the 21st and rapid antigen tests on the afternoon of the 21st, Thursday, which all resulted in negative.
As such, JAKE will not be able to participate in ENHYPEN's engagements for the time being. We will continue to provide an update on his plans on resuming his activities. ENHYPEN will not be participating in this week's 'Music Bank,' 'Inkigayo,' and 'The Show.'
The company places the artists' health as our top priority, and we will do everything we can to aid JAKE in his speedy recovery. In addition, we will faithfully comply with the quarantine authorities' requests and guidelines.
Thank you."
We wish Jake and Jay a speedy recovery.
Get well soon as well, Jake!
