Woman Diagnosed With COVID-19 After Contact With SUPERNOVA's Yoon Hak; Reps Deny Rumors He Visited Adult Entertainment Establishment

Following the news that SUPERNOVA’s Yoon Hak was diagnosed with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), it has been reported that a woman he was in contact with has also been diagnosed with the virus.

On April 7, the outlet News1 reported that on March 26, Yoon Hak met with a woman (referred to as “A”) who works at an adult entertainment establishment in Gangnam. It was reported that she began to feel symptoms of COVID-19 on March 29 and she was diagnosed with COVID-19 on April 2.

A representative of Yoon Hak told outlet Newsen, “It’s true that the adult entertainment establishment worker ‘A’ who has tested positive is an acquaintance of Yoon Hak’s, however they just met at another location. Yoon Hak did not visit an adult entertainment establishment.”

Yoon Hak returned from Japan on March 24 and first felt symptoms of COVID-19 on March 27. He went to the hospital on March 31 and received a positive test result on April 1. He is receiving treatment in a medical center for mild symptoms. According to reports, Yoon Hak is currently receiving criticism for not spending two weeks in quarantine after returning from abroad.

Further reports state that a roommate and co-worker of “A” has also been diagnosed with COVID-19. It’s reported that “A” is Gangnam’s 44th case while the 51st case (hereafter referred to as “B”) is her roommate and co-worker at the adult entertainment establishment, and they are both in their early to mid-30s. “B” went into self-quarantine when “A” was diagnosed. Although she initially received a negative test result on April 2, a second test came back with a positive test result on April 6.

Some reports have stated that “B” also contracted COVID-19 after direct contact with Yoon Hak. However, the Korea Economic Daily writes that sources from the city of Seoul and the district of Gangnam have explained that this was due to an error in initial records put out by the city and the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The sources stated that Gangnam’s 44th case (“A”) contracted COVID-19 from Yoon Hak and the 55th case (“B”) is suspected to have contracted it from “A.”

After meeting Yoon Hak on March 26, “A” reportedly worked at the adult entertainment establishment from March 27 to the next morning. She went into self-isolation once she first felt symptoms on March 29. According to KBS, the district of Gangnam and epidemiological investigators are doing a survey of all the staff and guests at the establishment during that shift. It’s reported that the establishment is very large in scale, with over 100 staff members and over 500 guests on the day “A” was working while unaware she had contracted COVID-19.
