"Hello.

This is OUI Entertainment.

Our artist WEi’s Kim Yo Han has tested positive for COVID-19 on November 14.

On November 13, Kim Yo Han underwent a PCR test after a supporting actor he crossed paths with while filming KBS 2TV’s drama “School 2021” tested positive for COVID-19, and he was diagnosed as asymptomatic and positive on the morning of November 14.

His scheduled broadcasts and other activities are currently being rearranged, and he is taking the necessary measures according to the instructions of health authorities.

Our artists WEi’s Jang Dae Hyun, Kim Yo Han, Kang Seok Hwa, and Kim Jun Seo have been completely vaccinated with a second dose, and a week has passed since Yoo Yong Ha’s second dose. Kim Dong Han has received his first dose.

All members of WEi and related staff are classified as close contacts. We are currently awaiting our results after undergoing PCR tests, and we will actively cooperate with the instructions and measures of the health authorities.

Therefore, we inform you that all of WEi’s scheduled activities during the duration of the self-quarantine period will be canceled or postponed, and we ask fans and related personnel for their kind understanding.

We will announce the results of WEi’s tests as soon as possible through a notice.

Once again, we apologize for causing fans and many others to worry.

The agency will faithfully follow the guidelines set by health authorities and do our best for the sake of the health and safety of our artists.

Thank you."

The production team of “School 2021” has also released a statement to announce the postponement of the drama’s premiere. Read a translation below:

"A supporting actor from KBS 2TV’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama “School 2021” tested positive for COVID-19 on November 13. All members of the staff and cast immediately underwent a COVID-19 test, and actor Kim Yo Han tested positive. The other staff and cast all tested negative.

Actor Kim Yo Han is currently asymptomatic. It had been over two weeks since both the supporting actor and actor Kim Yo Han received their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and there was no close contact between the two people. Anyone who came in to close contact with the confirmed cases have entered self-quarantine according to the instructions of health authorities.

The production team continues to do its best for disease prevention through regular PCR tests and body temperature checks. We will keep a constant eye on the situation as we move forward so that there are no further issues.

The premiere date has been delayed a week to November 24, and the press conference will therefore also be pushed back a week.

We will do our utmost to prevent any other positive cases by ensuring the safety of the cast and staff through preventative measures. We apologize for causing you concern."

Starring Kim Yo Han, Cho Yi Hyun, Chu Young Woo, and Hwang Bo Reum Byul, “School 2021” was originally set to premiere on November 17. The drama will now begin on November 24.

We wish Kim Yo Han and the “School 2021” supporting actor a fast recovery.
