We’re glad to hear that JK is well and healthy. BTS’ Jungkook tested negative for coronavirus. The boy band’s management company, Big Hit Entertainment, confirmed in a statement that Jungkook was tested for COVID-19 after he visited a restaurant and a bar in the neighborhood of Itaewon in Seoul, South Korea, on April 25.

BTS has been spending downtime in South Korea after their Map of the Soul tour concerts were cancelled due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Although the Bangtan Boys have been spending time together, working on new music and hosting VLives to stay in touch with the ARMY, they are also using the period to indulge in activities that wouldn't have been possible if they were touring. For example, RM stepped out to enjoy a meal at a restaurant in South Korea's Gapyeong. 

Although the summer hasn't gone as per planned for BTS, Big Hit Entertainment has been making up for the cancelled concerts with numerous alternative plans. The South Korean agency threw an at-home concert with Bang Bang Con and RM, Jin, Jimin, Jungkook, V, J-Hope and Suga have been constantly interacting with the ARMY via VLives and Weverse.
