JAKARTA - Choi Siwon from the Super Junior group has become the latest public figure to be confirmed positive for COVID-19. This statement was shared by SM Entertainment's agency on Friday, December 10.
"Choi Siwon was confirmed positive for COVID-19 this morning (10/12) after carrying out a PCR test which was taken as a precautionary measure," SM quoted Newsen as saying.
Siwon is said to have done a PCR test before attending an event but because the results were positive, he was canceled as a guest.
In addition, Choi Siwon canceled all schedules and immediately self-quarantined. He also canceled attending the 2021 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) as a presenter on December 11.
In addition, the staff and members of Super Junior who had interacted with Siwon were also doing a COVID-19 test.
“Choi Siwon and we will follow the rules of the health authorities and do our best for a speedy recovery. We apologize for causing concern," concluded SM Entertainment's statement.
The agency also stated that the actor had been vaccinated twice last September. Previously in November, Shindong, a fellow Super Junior member, tested positive for COVID-19 but the group members did not undergo the test because they did not meet Shindong.
