Earlier today (Monday, 18th May), Korean news outlet Dispatch claimed that BTS’s Jungkook, SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu, NCT’s Jaehyun, and ASTRO’s Cha Eunwoo had spent a night out in Itaewon where a new Covid-19 cluster emerged recently.

According to the exclusive report, back on 25th April, the 4 idol friends visited a few places at the aforementioned location together, the same day that the Korean Center for Disease Control (KCDC) released their statement calling for people to practise social distancing.

Based on the photo above, the idols first had a meal session at a local restaurant (labelled A) before visiting “2 other entertainment facilities in Itaewon” (B and C). As requested by KCDC, those who have visited the district must undergo self-quarantine for 2 weeks until 10th May, regardless of being tested negative or positive for Covid-19.

Following Dispatch’s report, the home labels of each idol have already released official statements to address the issue. The agencies also assured everyone that the boys have all tested negative for Covid-19. This list is arranged according to the idols’ respective companies:

1. Jungkook – Big Hit Entertainment
