Chungha’s agency MNH Entertainment shared that the ‘Stay Tonight’ singer voluntarily got tested after she came in contact with a confirmed case. Chungha, who was currently preparing for her latest comeback, ‘Querencia’, her first full-length album, will be halting all promotional activities for now.

The agency’s artistes and staff who have crossed paths with Chungha have been tested or will be tested, and we will take follow-up measures as necessary once we [receive the results].
