As the COVID pandemic continues to wreak havoc worldwide, even after two years since first being reported, several national, as well as international celebrities, have fallen prey to the coronavirus. Among the more recent celebrities to be infected by the coronavirus is Super Junior's Eunhyuk, who tested COVID positive during a rapid antigen detection test.

After getting tested for the virus through a RAT Test, the Super Junior singer went to the hospital to get a follow-up PCR test, which confirmed that he was infected by the coronavirus.

He went to the hospital to get a follow-up PCR test and was told this evening that he was confirmed to have tested positive."

The statement further informed that Eunhyuk had completed the third dose of his COVID-19 vaccine in December, so he currently has very minor symptoms.

"All of his scheduled activities have been put on pause, and he is resting safely while following the directions of the disease control authorities. We have confirmed that Eunhyuk had no recent close contact with any of the other Super Junior members. Just in case, however, all of the members and their related staff are being tested," a part of Lable SJ's statement read.
