“Jun. K has completed three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. He currently has symptoms of a mild sore throat, so he halted all scheduled activities, and he will focus on treatment in keeping with the government health authorities’ guidelines,” the company said.

JYP Entertainment added that it would put the artist’s health as its priority and pledged to help him have a speedy recovery.

Jun. K’s diagnosis came weeks after Lee Junho also suffered from the same disease on March 29. The Red Sleeve actor reportedly experienced a slight cold and sore throat.

Jun. K Still Has Upcoming Event

Earlier this month, the agency revealed that Jun.K would have a fan concert – which would be more like a fan meeting – at Blue Square’s Mastercard Hall on April 30 and May 1 with his 2PM co-member, Wooyoung. The event will be reportedly broadcast via Beyond LIVE.

The company launched the show to celebrate Jun K. and Wooyoung’s birthdays.

JYP Entertainment has not confirmed whether Jun. K’s diagnosis would affect his schedule.
