On the 9th, the agency Starship Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as Starship) posted a notice on the official MONSTA X fan cafe and announced the news of Shownu’s self-isolation and schedule absence.

Starship said, “On the 8th, Shownu was preemptively tested for Corona 19 with the staff at the request of the team related to the schedule before proceeding with the upcoming personal schedule, and was judged’undecided’ by the inspection office on the afternoon of the 9th.” Afterwards, the retest was conducted immediately and self-containment was scheduled until the test results were confirmed.”
