BLINKs would have to wait for a couple of days or weeks before they get to see BLACKPINK Rosé again.
Read below to know what happened.
BLACKPINK Rosé Health Update
On Monday, Feb. 28, YG Entertainment released a statement announcing that BLACKPINK Rosé tested positive for COVID-19.
The agency revealed that Roséwas preparing for her departure overseas so she had to take a COVID-19 test. The K-pop idol later learned that she was positive for the virus.
As a result, BLACKPINK Rosé canceled some of her overseas activities. The agency also confirmed that the other members of BLACKPINK all tested negative for COVID-19. The BLACKPINK members are all vaccinated.

The agency also revealed that BLACKPINK Lisa did not experience any symptoms just like BLACKPINK Rosé.
Back then, BLACKPINK Jisoo, Jennie, and Rosé tested negative for COVID-19.
