CRAVITY Minhee recently underwent COVID-19 testing after his "The Show" co-host, Kep1er's Chaehyun, tested positive for the virus.
On Friday, Starship Entertainment released a statement confirming the results of Minhee's COVID-19 test. The management stated that they were informed one member of "The Show" tested positive for COVID-19 on Jan. 27.
Immediately after, they subjected Minhee to a PRC test. They later learned that he's negative for COVID-19.
Starship Entertainment also announced that Minhee is fully vaccinated and vowed to follow the guidelines set by health authorities to ensure the safety of their artists.

CRAVITY Minhee Replaces Jihan On 'The Show'
Earlier this month, Minhee also made headlines after he was cast as one of the hosts of the SBS MTV and SBS Fil's music program, "The Show," alongside Kep1er Chaehyun and ATEEZ's Yeosang.
Yeosang was part of the MC lineup last year, together with WEi's Kim Yo Han and Weeekly's Jihan. However, the latter decided to step down from the program last month.
Who Is CRAVITY Minhee?
Minhee made his first official debut with CRAVITY in April 2020. The group has since earned five rookie awards at different award ceremonies including the 2020 Asia Artis Awards.
Last year, CRAVITY released its first full-length album, which sold over 100,000 copies within the first week.
Prior to their album's release, Minhee revealed that the entire group spent the past New Year's together to prepare for their project. And their efforts certainly paid off. He also said that Wonjin's uncle fed them ribs for the new year.
When asked what would he be doing if he didn't become part of CRAVITY, Minhee said that he would probably be working as a model. Even though he doesn't think that he's good at dressing up, Minhee said that he's always been interested with modeling.
In 2020, CRAVITY talked about the release of their full-length album. When asked if he's really as confident as his song "Break All the Rules," Minhee admitted that he still has a long way to go.
He said that he's not as confident or as bold as the lyrics of their song. But he's trying his best to be as confident as he possibly can on stage. Luckily, being with the other members of CRAVITY has helped Minhee.
