Korean entertainment agencies are apologizing for their K-pop stars' night out in the fresh hotspot of Seoul's COVID-19 outbreak. Big Hit Entertainment expressed regret and belatedly admitted to one BTS member, Jungkook's visit to Itaewon along with other celebrities NCT's Jaehyun, Astro's Cha Eun-woo and Seventeen's Mingyu in late April. As the agencies confirmed the stars' nightout took place, they also announced that all the stars involved have tested negative for COVID-19. The companies apologized for the mismanagement of their artists who did not abide by social distancing guidelines. Their night out took place about a week before the first case of the second wave of infections was confirmed in South Korea.
