COVID-19 Affects Several K-Pop Artists
As the COVID-19 still dominates the whole world, the music industry is being affected as well, not only with halted concerts and live shows but the artists have been affected as well.
Recently, five members of the seven-member boy group ENHYPEN were diagnosed with COVID-19 all at once.

The agency declared that Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Jungwon, and Sunghoon all tested positive for COVID-19; and they are now in self-isolation.
BeLift Lab also apologized to the fans that were waiting for ENHYPEN's appearance. They assured that they will be putting all of their efforts to help the members recover soon.
Meanwhile last August 28, Starship Entertainment announced that two IZ*ONE members, An Yu Jin and Jang Won Young received a note that their schedules overlapped because an external staff member had been tested positive for COVID-19.

Jang Won Young is currently taking the necessary measures according to the disease control department's guidelines and is also in self-quarantine. Even though An Yu Jin's test was negative, she will still be suspending her schedules until further notice in order to take preventive measures and to go into self-quarantine as well.
