[Notice] NINE.i VARI, SEOWON, TAEHUN Confirmation of COVID-19 and information on future schedules

Hello.

This is FirstOne Entertainment.

We inform you about VARI, SEOWON, and TAEHUN's COVID-19 confirmation and future schedule.

On the 17th (Thursday), VARI, SEOWON, and TAEHUN felt an abnormal condition, such as mild body aches, and preemptively conducted a rapid antigen test, and were confirmed with COVID-19.

Accordingly, in accordance with the recommendation of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to prevent the spread of infection, the patient will be moved to a separate facility and quarantined for up to 5 days from the test date (sample collection date).

NINE.i members, excluding VARI, SEOWON, and TAEHUN, currently do not have any special symptoms, but preemptively conducted a rapid antigen test and confirmed a negative response.

In addition, due to the confirmation of COVID-19, we will inform you of the unavoidably changed schedule. Considering the artist's health and safety as the top priority, we ask for your deep understanding from the fans for the changes.

Arirang TV's live broadcast and post-recording scheduled for the 21st (Mon) have been cancelled.

In addition, the fan signing event and video call event scheduled for the 17th (Thu) and 18th (Fri) will be postponed to a later date.

We tried to schedule with members who were not confirmed to be infected with COVID-19, but we ask for your understanding that the decision was made considering the incubation period and health condition.

Details regarding the postponed fan signing event will be individually notified to the winners later through the retailer.

We will do our best to support VARI, SEOWON, and TAEHUN so that they can recover their health as soon as possible.

Thank you.
