Touted as one of the biggest bands in the world, BTS kept busy since November last year as they held their first in-person concert-- Permission To Dance On Stage- Los Angeles-- since the pandemic started. After delivering a grand show at LA's SoFi stadium, the band returned to South Korea to prepare for their PTD On Stage concerts in Seoul. Upon returning, band member Suga contracted COVID- 19 and was asked to self-isolate to recover.
In the statement issued by BTS' managing company, Big Hit Entertainment, it was mentioned that the rapper did not experience any symptoms and is on the path to a speedy recovery. However, in a recent BTS VLive, it appears to be a completely different case as Suga, real name Min Yoon Gi, revealed that he was, in fact, experiencing COVID-19 symptoms but chose to hide it from the fans.
BTS Suga reveals why he hid COVID symptoms from fans
In a recent VLive by the band members--Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook-- the 28-year-old rapper revealed that he was experiencing mild symptoms after contracting the novel coronavirus. However, he asked his team to conceal this information from the ARMY as he did not want to make them worry about his health. Check out the video here.

Yoongi said that when he was positive for COVID, he did have symptoms! But he requested (the staff) to write in the article that he was asymptomatic because he was afraid we'd be worried 😭 @BTS_twt #COVID19 #SUGA #MinYoongi #BTSSUGA #YOONGI #AGUSTD pic.twitter.com/1dEO6Krd7j
