Lee Seung-hoon of boy band Winner tested positive for Covid-19, his agency YG Entertainment said on Monday.

Prior to filming for a solo project, Lee, also known as Hoony, used a self-test kit which came back positive. He then took a PCR test which confirmed he had contracted the coronavirus.

The three other members of Winner — Kang Seung-yoon, Mino and Jinu — also took PCR tests which came back negative.

“Lee Seung-hoon is fully vaccinated and showed no particular symptoms before he tested positive,” said YG. “He is currently in good health. We will support him for a swift recovery.”

iKon members Kim Jin-hwan, Song Yun-heong and Kim Dong-hyuk, another boy band under YG Entertainment, also tested positive for Covid-19 the day prior.
