On the 20th, the New Era Project, which is in charge of Kim Hee-jae-I's management, announced that Kim Hee-jae-I was confirmed positive as a result of the COVID-19 re-examination.

Earlier on the 13th, Kim Hee-jae-I self-quaranteed himself when Park Tae-hwan and Mo Tae-beom, who recording a TV program with him, were confirmed with COVID-19. He tested negative at that time, but was later confirmed by real-time re-examination.

Ahn Hee-yeon, a member of EXID, was also confirmed with the virus. "We were aware of the confirmation of the COVID-19 of a staff who was working together, so we conducted a pre-emptive test and were notified of a positive result", the agency said. "We are currently implementing the government's guidelines and taking necessary measures".

Ahn Hee-yeon recently decided to appear in JTBC's new drama "IDOL: The Coup". "IDOL: The Coup" canceled the main filming schedule due to Ahn Hee-yeon's confirmation of COVID-19, and all staff members who had overlapping movements or suspected contact carried out COVID-19 tests.

Actress Yoon Jung-hee-I, who belongs to the same agency as Ahn Hee-yeon, was also confirmed with the virus. Yoon Jung-hee-I's agency said, "The COVID-19 test was conducted periodically in case of a possible situation and she tested positive in one of them".

Yoon Jung-hee-I will appear on SBS's "Now, We Are Breaking Up" which is scheduled to air in the second half of this year, but otherwise this will not affect her work.
