Boy group SF9 (SFN) members Polysomnography and HWI YOUNG were diagnosed with COVID-19 (new coronavirus Infection). Leader Young Bin's comments on vaccines have fallen into self-inflicted numbers.
According to SF9 agency FNC Entertainment on October 14, Polysomnography and HWI YOUNG were tested positive for COVID-19 on the day.
Polysomnography, HWI YOUNG, contacted the COVID-19 confirmation last weekend. It was confirmed after receiving a PCR test on the 13th that the staff who visited the office of the agency had been confirmed.
Member Kang Chan-hee, who met the confirmed person like Polysomnography and HWI YOUNG, received a final voice test after a PCR test. SF9 members, except for the three, were also tested at a preemptive level, but were not found to have COVID-19.
Polysomnography, HWI YOUNG will go into self-punciation in accordance with the guidelines of the anti-virus authorities and will concentrate on future treatment. The rest of the members have been judged negative, but are waiting for the results of the close contact classification. If it is judged that self-pricing is necessary, the schedule of each member will inevitably be disrupted. Members RO WOON are appearing on KBS 2TV New Moonhwa Drama 'Wind Moe', which was first broadcast on the 11th, and personality is ahead of musical 'Red Book' performance on the 24th.
The agency said, "We will consider The Artist's health and safety as a top priority and will cooperate with the guidelines and requests of the authorities. I apologize for the inconvenience to many people and I will do my best to make The Artist's quick recovery. "
Polysomnography, HWI YOUNG's COVID-19 confirmation confirms leader Young Bin's vaccine-related remarks are also being reexamined. Young Bin said in a live broadcast in September that he did not participate in the vaccination for COVID-19 prevention, saying, "I do not think I will get COVID-19 even if I do not get a vaccine. "Because it's not exposed to the risk of COVID-19," he said. However, two of the members of the same group were confirmed, making it difficult for Young Bin to avoid vaccine-related statements.
"Even if you're a vaccine, you get caught (COVID-19)," the statement also sparked controversy. As Young Bin mentioned, it is true that there are not many so-called "break-through Infection" cases in which COVID-19 vaccines are confirmed even after inoculation of all the recommended number of times by the authorities. According to the vaccination response team, the number of people who have completed domestic inoculation as of October 3 is estimated to be 13,860 (0.063 percent).
However, unlike Young Bin, many Koreans are nevertheless participating in the vaccination. This is because it is the best measure at this point to prevent the risk of widespread transmission to the unspecified number of people around you as well as their own health. If the vaccine is given, it is significantly lower likely that it will worsen or die even if it is infected by the virus.
"Infection that breaks through the Infection even after the completion of the vaccination is a phenomenon that can occur not only in the COVID-19 vaccine but also in any vaccine," the authorities said in a regular briefing on March 13. "As the number of vaccines increases, "He said.
Young Bin posted an apology to the official fan cafe on September 28 as criticism of the vaccine-related remarks grew. "I am sorry for the inconvenience to everyone with the vaccine-related remarks. I deeply reflect on the fact that many people spoke indiscreetly on the broadcasts and apologize. "
"I will be vaccinated soon, correct the wrong idea, and I will be more careful and careful about words and actions in the future. I am really sorry," he added.
Young Bin made his debut with SF9 in 2016. Over the past five years, he has gained popularity by announcing "Osolemio," "I've Spent," "Good Guy" (Good Guy), and "Tear Drop" (Tear Drop) with members. As many K-pop fans are interested and loved by many domestic and foreign K-pop fans, and represent the team and members as leaders, it is necessary to be more careful about the words and actions with this controversy.
