BTS member Jimin underwent emergency surgery for acute appendicitis on Sunday – and tested positive for COVID-19 while in hospital.
Big Hit Music said in a statement Monday that the 26-year-old singer was rushed to hospital while experiencing sudden abdominal pain.
“The surgery was successful and Jimin is currently recuperating,” read the statement. His COVID-19 symptoms are mild and he is expected to make a “speedy recovery.”
Jimin, whose real name is Park Ji-min, is fully vaccinated. Big Hit said he had "no contact with the other members during the infectious stage."
In December, Suga, Jin and RM tested positive for COVID-19.
The pop group is currently on an "extended period of rest."
