SEVENTEEN’s Dino greets fans on Weverse after recovery, Mingyu still in quarantine

SEVENTEEN’s youngest member, Dino, has finally recovered from COVID-19 and has completed his quarantine period. The artist contracted the virus on August 17 and suffered from a mild sore throat, as per the agency’s statement released on the same day.

The youngest member even posted a comment on Weverse with the word “released” after PLEDIS Entertainment uploaded the announcement.

As the Face the Sun group has been in the United States for their world tour, Dino had to forgo participation in two concert stops and a talk show. The remaining 12 members, after testing negative for COVID-19, continued their concerts in Los Angeles on August 17 and Houston on August 20 without him. He was also absent from Jimmy Kimmel Live! on August 18.

While the youngest member can now enjoy group activities and meet fans at the remaining concerts, SEVENTEEN will still be performing with 12 members.

25-year-old Mingyu tested COVID-19 positive two days after Dino, on August 19. The idol immediately went into self-quarantine in Los Angeles. Thus, he was absent from Houston (August 20) and Fort Worth (August 23) shows.

How SEVENTEEN and CARAT made sure Dino and Mingyu were with them

At the concert stops where Dino and Mingyu were absent, the 11 remaining members and the thousands of CARATs in the audience made sure to remember them. There were numerous instances where the group and fans came together to fill in the hole left by the two members.

Wonwoo suggested that the audience sing Dino’s parts. Fans chanted his name, sang along for his part, saw members improvise dance moves that included him and Mingyu, and sent them both wishes for a speedy recovery too.

The next BE THE SUN tour stop for SEVENTEEN is Fort Worth on August 23. The group will perform with 12 members, as Mingyu will still be in quarantine.
