Model Han Hye-jin tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday.

Han underwent testing after learning that former volleyball player Kim Yo-han had tested positive. Han and Kim were in close contact while filming for cable channel iHQ’s variety program “Leader’s Romance” (2021).

According to a spokesperson for “Leader’s Romance,” only Han and Kim tested postitive. “The other cast members and crew of the show, including entertainers Kim Gu-ra and Park Myung-soo, have tested negative,” the spokesperson said.

Meanwhile, the cast of cable channel JTBC’s “We Kick Together” (2021), another show that Kim Yo-han stars in, also tested positive for Covid-19 the same day: former judoka Yoon Dong-sik, swimmer Park Tae-hwan, speed skater Mo Tae-bum and tennis player Lee Hyung-taik.

A spokesperson for the show apologized for the inconvenience, and said that all crew members have undergone testing and are currently self-quarantining while waiting for the results.
