As Idol group members have been informed of the new coronavirus Infection (COVID-19) tested positive news, there is a growing concern about COVID-19 group Infection in the entertainment industry.
The group EnhyPEN is in isolation because all members except Sunwoo are infected with COVID-19 while receiving COVID-19 tested positive judgment from Jung Won, Hee Seung, Jay, Jake, and Sung Hoon to Dolph Ziggler. Dolph Ziggler was diagnosed with COVID-19 positive after he had cough symptoms during self-pricing after being tested positive by other members.
Earlier, Enhage was classified as a close contact with the COVID-19 tested positive that occurred on August 25th. After the tested positive judgment of the members of Enhyip, the agency, Billy Prab, said, "We will do our best to help The Artists recover healthy. I will cooperate faithfully with the requests and guidelines of the anti-virus authorities. "
Jang Won-young and Ahn Yu-jin, who are from Starship Entertainment, were also tested positive for COVID-19. On August 28, Ahn Yu-jin and Jang Won-young overlapped the movement with the tested positive external staff on COVID-19, and the PCR (gene amplification) test showed that Jang Won-young was first tested positive for COVID-19. Ahn Yu-jin, who was diagnosed with negative symptoms at the time, was tested with COVID-19 as a result of re-examination due to sore throat and fever.
The band N.Flying took an emergency as it received COVID-19 tested positive judgment from Kim Jaehyeon following Lee Seung-hyeop, Yoo Hoe-seung and Seo Dong-sung. On September 4, the FNC said, "After Lee Seung-hyeop, Yoo Seung-seung, and Seo Dong-sung, Kim Jaehyeon is also receiving self-price and necessary measures in accordance with the guidelines of the anti-virus authorities. Cha Hoon also went into self-discipline yesterday," he said.
Trot Singer Song Ga-in also reported on the COVID-19 tested positive news on August 29. "Song Ga-in was tested for corona as a result of a medical examination on August 28 because he was not well," said Song Ga-in's agency Pocket Stone Studio. "We are moving to an isolation facility on the afternoon of the 29th. I would like to ask your fans to understand that they have caused their troubles, and we will do our best for the health and safety of our artist by thoroughly complying with the guidelines for prevention. "
Idol groups, which have not high annual rates, have a high risk of Infection among members because most of them live together in one hostel. In addition, the schedule of music broadcasts that participate as a group should be shared by hundreds of performers and staff. PCR inspection, disInfection, and fever checks were periodically performed, but due to the nature of the recording scene where you have to take off your microphone and sing, you have to have a hole in the prevention.
The biggest concern is the Infection that occurs at the music broadcasting site. Enhyphen and N.Flying are highly contagious when they are in close contact as all members except one in the group are tested COVID-19. Enhyphen members, Jang Won-young and Ahn Yu-jin were also tested positive for COVID-19 after close contact with the shooting site staff. Ahn Yu-jin, who was in charge of SBS music broadcast Inkigayo' MC, did not attend Inkigayo' live broadcast on September 5 after tested positive. Last month, MC Treasure Jihoon did not attend Inkigayo' as he entered the self-determination with the COVID-19 tested positive decision of member Do Young and So Jung Hwan.
Broadcasting production and transmission can be collected without restriction of personnel if necessary for essential management activities and official affairs of the company, and it is not affected by restriction of number of persons prohibited by time zone. In addition, according to the amendment bill of "Mask Wearing Mandatory - Penalty Imposition" announced by the Central Anti-Disaster Headquarters, broadcasts and performance performers are excluded from wearing masks. It is also an undeniable fact that the concern about group Infection is growing because of the measures considering the specificity of broadcasting and performance industry.
