South Korean singer Jisoo, one of the members of the popular band BLACKPINK, has tested covid positive, following which she will be skipping the group’s concert shows in Japan. In a statement shared on the fan community Weverse, agency YG Entertainment said Jisoo tested positive, two days after showing mild cold symptoms.

“We would like to inform you that BLACKPINK member JISOO was confirmed positive for COVID-19 on June 1st. JISOO took a self-test on May 30 after showing mild cold symptoms. At first, she initially tested negative but ultimately tested positive on June 1st,” the agency said in the statement.

“JISOO was determined to perform, wanting to keep her promise with BLACKPINK fans who have been waiting for a long time, but decided not to participate in the concert for the artist’s health and the safety of all.

“Therefore, only three members, Jennie, Lisa, and Rose, will participate in the [BORN PINK] World Tour concerts held in Osaka, Japan on June 3rd and 4th. We understand the anticipation and how much fans have been waiting for the performance and will do our best to present the concert as planned.
