Three members of K-pop boy group iKON tested positive for COVID-19.

On January 23, YG Entertainment released a statement announcing that iKON members Jinhwan, Yunhyeong, and Donghyuk have contracted the virus.

"On January 22, they experienced mild cold symptoms, so they used COVID-19 self-test kits to test themselves, and their initial results were positive," the agency stated.

The entire group then underwent PCR testing, with Bobby, Junhoe, and Chanwoo being found negative for COVID-19.

"We will diligently cooperate with health authorities' epidemiological surveillance while taking all measures necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19," YG added.

iKON was created from the survival show Mix & Match. The six-member group debuted on September 15, 2015 under YG Entertainment.
