The management of K-pop boy band BTS has apologised after one member of the group went to a bar last month, ignoring government advice.
Jungkook visited a bar and restaurant in the Itaewon neighbourhood of Seoul on 25 April. Such establishments were permitted to open during this period but strict social distancing measures were required and the government had advised people to steer clear of them completely.
There was an outbreak of Covid-19 in the same area after lockdown measures were relaxed earlier this month.

“We have no excuse that we placed the artist’s personal life before we were able to emphasise the importance of social distancing. We bow our head in apology,” Big Hit Entertainment said.
“He is also deeply regretting on how he did not follow social distancing measures seriously.”
The star has since tested negative for the virus.
