Solar of Mamamoo tests positive for COVID-19

Mamamoo member Solar has tested positive for COVID-19.

According to a Soompi report, her agency RBW said Solar was diagnosed after she came in close contact with a COVID-19 positive person on Thursday.

After testing positive on a self-testing kit, the K-pop singer received PCR testing on Friday, which yielded the same result.

RBW said Solar had received her third COVID-19 vaccine dose, and she had also halted her scheduled activities.

It said she was “taking the necessary measures as well as getting rest in keeping with guidelines set by government health authorities.”

“We apologize for causing concern to the fans. We will do our best for Solar’s quick recovery and consider the health and safety of the artist as a top priority,” said the agency.

Solar later assured her fans that she was okay.

“Thank you for worrying about me. I’ll take this [as a sign] to promote in a healthier way before my solo album comes out. I’ll take good care of myself and come back,” she wrote on her Instagram stories.

Solar is set to release her first solo mini album next month. – RC, GMA News
