Almost all of Enhypen tested positive while Jin Goo – who starred in K-drama Descendants of the Sun with Song Hye-kyo and Song Joong-ki – went into isolation this month

Around the world, attempts to restart the music industry have had mixed results as a wave of stars continue to contract the virus.

Now Lalisa Manoban – better known as Blackpink’s Lisa – has become the latest to join the list of celebrities in South Korea who have tested positive for Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.

The singer is reportedly asymptomatic and has already been vaccinated, as have her bandmates. But as we already know, Covid-19 makes no concessions for the most famous among us – not even global megastars with legions of fans.

Here’s who else has tested positive for Covid-19 in South Korea so far.

Jin Goo

Jin Goo, who starred alongside Song Hye-kyo and Song Joong-ki in Descendants of the Sun, tested positive for Covid-19 on November 2.

The agency of the 41-year-old actor – who most recently starred in Korean film You’re So Precious To Me – confirmed that although he was asymptomatic, he still received treatment in the country’s isolation facilities.
