ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo has tested positive for COVID-19, according to the company.

Fantagio, the agency representing ASTRO, issued the following statement on March 18:

Hello.

Fantagio is the name of the piece.

Earlier today (March 18), our agency's artist Cha Eun Woo confirmed that he had tested positive following a quick antigen test that he had performed as a precaution after beginning to feel sick.

Currently, Cha Eun Woo is experiencing no symptoms other than those of a slight cold, and he will be concentrating on treatment and recovery in accordance with the COVID-19 treatment and recovery standards established by the government health authorities.

Because it will be difficult for ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo to engage in his planned activities, we will provide you with an update on the artist's return to his scheduled activities in the future after determining when he will be freed from quarantine in the meanwhile.

We appreciate your understanding that we have caused concern to a large number of people, and the agency will continue to put the health of the artists and staff first, and will do everything in its power to expedite the artist's recovery while following the guidelines set forth by the government health authorities.

Thank you very much.

We wish Cha Eun Woo the best of luck in her recovery!
