The entertainment industry was in a state of great turmoil, with Corona’s trend continuing. Some stars confirmed positive results after several self-diagnosis sessions. In some cases, a positive test was confirmed through a self-kit test, and then a negative test was received from the PCR test.
Actor Chae Jong-hyeop tested positive for the Corona 19 autokit test on the 18th and went to the PCR test. The results of the two tests were different. YNK Entertainment, a subsidiary of Chae Jong-hyeop, said in this paper, "We will do our best for the health of The Artist by complying with the guidelines of the health authorities."
Group Weekly member Lee Su-jin was negative in the self-kit test, but was confirmed by the PCR test that followed. IST Entertainment reported on the 15th that Lee Su-jin was infected. According to his agency, Lee Su-jin felt mild Flu symptoms and conducted a corona 19 test through a self-kit test to confirm the negative results. However, as Flu symptoms continued, PCR tests were conducted further; the results were positive.
The story about the broadcaster Jun Hyun-moo is also indispensable. On April 4, SM C & C, a subsidiary company, said, "Jun Hyun-moo confirmed three negative results in four rapid antigen tests conducted on March 3. However, the last test results led to suspicion of positive, and the PCR test that was conducted later was finally positive. "
Singer and actor Lee Ji-hoon also confirmed positive results after several self-kit tests; Lee Ji-hoon detected an abnormality in his physical condition and proceeded with isolation on his own. The test was conducted more than four times in isolation with a self-diagnosis kit, and negative reactions were made, but when the fever rose to 39 degrees, the PCR test was conducted on the 7th.
The confusion is growing as the results of the self-diagnosis kit test and the PCR test do not match, or the exact results are produced after several self-diagnosis. Officials are struggling for the safety of The Artist, including hastily cancelling the confirmed stars' schedules and trying to recover them.
