On Friday, Feb. 11, several sources revealed that Jo Kwon tested positive for COVID-19 after experiencing minor symptoms.

Cube Entertainment confirmed that Jo Kwon already received his booster shot, but he still tested positive for COVID-19.

2AM Jo Kwon Labels Himself as Genderless

In July 2020, Jo Kwon surprised his fans when he revealed during an interview that he identifies himself as genderless or neutral.

Jo Kwon said that it took him years to accept people's views of him. In the past, some people would say that he looks like a girl, and he would be offended. But more recently, he has learned to look at this as more of a blessing rather than a curse.

At the time, Jo Kwon was starring in the musical "Jamie," where he plays the role of a drag queen. A lot of people criticized the performer for his appearance, but Jo Kwon hopes that one day more people would be able to accept the fact that some men can also be feminine.

In 2012, Jo Kwon signed as a solo artist for Big Hit Entertainment. The CEO asked Jo Kwon if he has a concept for his promotions, and he told Bang Si Hyuk that his idea is inspired by Lady Gaga.

Even though the concept sounds controversial, Bang Si Hyuk allowed Jo Kwon to express himself as an artist.

In fact, Bang Si Hyuk was also the one that gave Jo Kwon his first-ever pair of high heels.
