Doctors performed a “successful” surgery on the star. “Jimin is currently recuperating after his procedure,” Bit Hit Music said in the statement. “He will be receiving a few days of in-patient treatment for COVID-19 in conjunction with postoperative care.”

The label added that Jimin is still experiencing “a mild sore throat.” They also said he had “no contact with the other members during the infectious stage.”

“The company places the artists’ health as our top priority, and we will do everything we can to aid Jimin in his speedy recovery,” the statement continued. “We will also diligently cooperate with the requests and guidelines of the health care authorities.”

Fans sent Jimin messages on Twitter, wishing him well and using the hashtags #GetWellSoonJimin and #WeLoveYouJimin. “We all love you. Please rest easy, and take your time getting better,” one ARMY tweeted.

“Our precious Jimin, I hope you are better now and resting properly. Take care. We love you so much. I'm praying for [a] speedy recovery. Get well soon, my angel,” another fan wrote.
