Members of girl-group Blackpink have been doing a lot recently for their respective brands as well as their personal music careers with Lisa blowing up internationally with her recently-released singles ‘Lalisa’ and ‘Money’ while also featuring in DJ Snake and Ozuna collaborative single ‘Sexy Girl’ alongside Megan Thee Stallion. However, while all was well just days ago, the rush of activities during the pandemic has led to some bad news.

The label also mentioned that fans need not worry about other members as they were not listed as close contacts with Lisa. The agency also noted that as a pre-emptive measure, the other three members of the group — Jisoo, Jennie, and Rose — have also undergone Covid testing and are currently awaiting their results.
