His diagnosis came after the band landed in Las Vegas to prepare for their performance. Moreover, Jeon Jungkook tested positive a week after bandmate J-Hope had tested positive for the virus. 

Before this, Jin, RM, Suga, Jimin and V recovered from COVID-19 after testing positive on separate occasions.
