Hello.

This is BIGHIT MUSIC.

We would like to inform you that BTS Member Jimin’s quarantine has concluded after his surgery for acute appendicitis as of this early morning (February 5).

Jimin was tested positive for COVID-19 and diagnosed with acute appendicitis on Sunday, January 30 and underwent surgery on Monday, January 31. He has since received inpatient care and tested negative on his PCR test before being discharged from the hospital.

Jimin showed no extraordinary symptoms during his hospital stay. He had a mild sore throat at the time of his admission but has since completely recovered. We also received word from the medical staff that his surgical site is quickly healing without any issues. Jimin is currently recuperating after being discharged from the hospital.

We would like to express our gratitude to all the fans who have shown concerns for the artist’s health as well as those in the medical field who are doing their best to overcome COVID-19.

We will continue to place the health of the artists as our top priority, and to vigilantly follow the health care guidelines.

Thank you.

BigHit Music adds that Jimin is currently recuperating after being discharged from hospital care. 

In a Weverse post earlier this week, Jimin dropped a note for ARMY (fans of BTS) to assure them that he is doing well and is eating three meals a day.

BTS are currently on an official "extended period of rest," and are gearing up for their return with an in-person concert in Seoul this March, as well as a brand new album to usher the GRAMMY-nominated act into a "new era".
