On February 15, 2022 Cube Entertainment released an official statement announcing that K-pop idol Eun-kwang tested positive for Covid-19. The agency stated that the singer was experiencing symptoms of a sore throat, so he took a precautionary self-test but tested negative on February 14, 2022.
For preventive measures, the idol visited a hospital and took a PCR test. The results came back positive as of February 15, 2022. The announcement read:
"This is Cube Entertainment. BTOB member Seo Eun-kwang tested positive for Covid-19 as of February 15, 2022. Seo Eunkwang experienced a sore throat, so he initially carried out a self-testing kit and checked that he was negative on February 14, 2022."
"Afterwards, as a preemptive measure, he visited the hospital to carry out a PCR test and the results came back positive on February 15, 2022."
The agency further stated that the other group members will preemptively take a PCR test and remain at home until the test results are known.
Cube Entertainment updated fans that Eun-kwang had completed his second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. All his current activities will be on a halt as he takes necessary measures accorded by the healthcare authorities.
The agency ended the message by assuring fans that they will do their best to keep the artists safe and will prioritize their health so that the idols can meet their fans soon.
