Pentagon Kino tests Covid positive a day after Blackpink Lisa, fans say 'rest well'

Following Blackpink Lisa and Pentagon Kino's positive result, Girls' Generation's Yuri has also undergone a Covid-19 test

Looks like we are once again witnessing a Covid-19 outbreak in the K-pop industry. In the middle of 2021, due to the constant activity among K-pop artists, a lot of our favorite idols ended up testing positive for the virus. We had members of BTOB, Ateez, Dreamcatcher, Astro, SF9 and Enhypen getting Covid-19. Offline concerts and events were canceled with Seoul implementing a lockdown. With the situation getting better, scheduled gigs once again resumed. But Pentagon’s Kino is the latest idol to test positive for Covid-19.

A day before, on November 24, it was reported that Blackpink’s Lisa had tested positive for Covid-19. The rest of the Blackpink members had tested negative but would get themselves tested from time to time. An hour before Pentagon Kino’s news, it was also announced that Girls’ Generation’s Yuri had gotten into trouble. She had come in close contact with a positive patient and so had to halt her activities and press conferences for the day. She had gotten tested and was now awaiting the results.
