BTS‘s maknae Jungkook is truly an avid Netflix binge-watcher!
Jungkook tested positive for COVID-19 shortly after arriving in Las Vegas, Nevada. BIGHIT MUSIC updated ARMYs on his condition in an English statement on Weverse.
Hello this is BIGHIT MUSIC. We would like to provide you with some information on BTS member Jung Kook being diagnosed with COVID-19.
Jung Kook was tested negative on a PCR test in Korea, and he departed for the United States on Sunday, March 27 (KST) in preparation for the Grammy Awards performance.
After arriving in Las Vegas, he felt a slight discomfort in his throat and promptly took a rapid PCR test (COVID-19 molecular PCR test) and a standard PCR test (COVID-19 quantitative PCR test) on the afternoon of Sunday, March 27 (PT).
While being under self-quarantine as a proactive measure, the result of both tests came back positive, and Jung Kook was confirmed with COVID-19 on Monday, March 28 (PT).
Jung Kook has been currently under self-quarantine and treatment, following the guidelines of health authorities in the United States. He is not exhibiting any symptoms other than a mild sore throat, and we will attentively monitor his health during the quarantine.
Jung Kook’s participation in the later schedule in the United States will be determined by the local regulations on COVID-19, while we are actively in discussion with the awards organizer.
We would like to extend our sincerest apologies to our fans for causing you concern despite our effort to take all necessary measures for our artists’ health prior to and throughout the schedule in the United States. We ask for your generous understanding and support from all our fans.
We will continue to provide support for the rapid recovery of Jung Kook, placing our highest priority on the health and safety of our artists. We will also continue to fully cooperate with the requests and guidelines of healthcare authorities. Thank you.

Naturally, ARMYs were concerned. Yet, Jungkook has let no time go to waste, reassuring them that he is doing well despite the negative announcement. Shortly after BIGHIT MUSIC’s statement, he quickly shared a personal update on Instagram Stories, so ARMYs could hear his voice say, “I’m okay. It’s nothing much.”

Being quite active, Jungkook is also already getting quite restless in quarantine. He shared another update recently, dancing to “Winter blossom” by Dept(뎁트), Ashley Alisha, and nobody likes you pat.
Everyone, I’m doing well. I’m taking care of myself well so don’t worry too much! Let’s meet soon. Leggo!
— Jungkook
In the video, he might have been jamming out to “Winter blossom,” but he referenced Rain‘s song, “Gang,” by using lyrics in the caption. Jungkook also had his own personal nightclub by bringing his self-designed Mikrokosmos mood lamp!

Even V was especially impressed that Jungkook was still active despite being sick. V has experienced COVID himself, so he knows firsthand just how much of a struggle it can be. Jungkook really is a “Super Antibody!”
Jungkook: The bright lights surround me
V: Look at those dance moves. COVID has lost to Jungkook. I couldn’t even move when I had COVID.
Now, BTS’s resident K-Drama lover is looking for something new to watch to pass the time.
Jungkook held another Q&A on Instagram Stories. It might have been after 6 AM in Las Vegas, but he was up and looking for a new binge!
Netflix recommendations let’s get it

ARMY’s first suggestion was Netflix’s hit American period drama Bridgerton. A second season may have just been released, but Jungkook has already watched it!
