BTS Takes a Pandemic Pause: Two Star Members Catch COVID
Quick Snapshot
- RM (27) – got the sniffles on the way back to Korea.
- Jin (29) – tested negative once, but his symptoms said otherwise.
- Suga – the trailblazer was the first to show up with the bug.
- All three had their second vaccine shots in August.
The Big Gig
Picture this: a band that burst onto the world stage in 2013 now headlining America’s stage for the first time since 2019. Fans were cheering, the lights were blazing, and RM was humming along. The next day, in a plot twist that feels like a reality‑TV episode, RM and Jin discovered they were part of the front row.
No Symptoms, Just Panic
RM, who’s been taking the hype seriously since he left quarantine, is showing no symptoms. Big Hit Music says he’s healthy enough to keep the world’s preachers dancing. Jin, on the other hand, waded through mild symptoms after the apparent “bug‑barrage” – but that’s nothing compared to his usual chest beat.
All Is Mild, All Is Quiet
After their countryreise, the two didn’t have any close contact with the other BTS members — no backstage sneezes, no shared microphone mic‑drops. So, at least the rest of the crew stayed squeaky clean for now.
One Big Lesson
Even the biggest pop icons aren’t immune to the COVID breeze. BTS still hammers home their message: hope, resilience, and a shot of humor can keep the beat alive. And thanks to the two shots, they’re ready to return to the world’s stage, a little more cautious, a lot more determined.
