J-Hope from BTS has recovered from COVID-19. On March 30 at 6 a.m. IST, BIGHIT MUSIC issued a statement announcing the news. J-Hope's quarantine was lifted on March 30 after he fully recovered from the infection, according to the statement. The BTS member is expected to leave South Korea to attend the Grammy Awards, and quarantine authorities have certified that there would be no issues.
J-Hope personally took to the global fan community and engagement site Weverse to comfort ARMYs prior to this official statement. “You all were worried right??," the BTS member wrote in his post. "I'm quite okay!!! Since I ate well~ and slept well~ during the quarantine period, I'm getting better quickly hehe!!! It wasn't a small worry because I tested positive at a time that is important due to various things..”
He continued, “As it was a situation that had already happened, I think I spent the quarantine time thinking that 'let's eat well and rest well! and recover quickly, and let's show my best self!' Above everything, I was concerned that the fans (you all) would be worried a lot!!! I'm sorry that I'm sending you my greetings only now, and now that the quarantine is over! I'll check accordingly with the procedures and rejoin quickly!!! ARMYs as well, during these days where the situation is different, take care of your health well and don't get sick!!!!!!!!!! Heart ppyong”
BTS' Jungkook, meanwhile, tested positive for COVID-19 on March 29 after arriving in Las Vegas earlier than the rest of the group to check on something related to the group's Grammy Awards performance. “I’m doing alright, this is not a big deal,” Jungkook wrote on his Instagram account.
BTS' youngest member soon followed up with another update on his own Instagram account, leaving ARMYs smiling. Jungkook sent a video to ARMYs while in self-quarantine, claiming, “Everyone, I’m doing well. So that my body doesn’t feel heavy, I’m continuing to move around. I’m eating and laying down, eating and laying down, so I’m worried that I’m going to gain weight. Anyways, I’m taking care of myself well so don’t worry too much! Let’s meet soon. Leggo!”
Jungkook then danced to close the video, prompting fellow BTS member V to remark, “Look at those those those dance moves. Corona lost to Jungkookie. I wasn't able to move a single bit.”
Because the quarantine time in the United States has been reduced to five days, fans are hoping to see all seven members of BTS on the Grammy Awards stage on April 4th.
