Days
after
Jimin
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
and
underwent
an
emergency
surgery
for
acute
appendicitis,
the
BTS
member
shared
a
health
update
early
Thursday
morning
assuring
fans
that
he
is
on
the
road
to
recovery.
The
26-year-old
singer-dancer
told
ARMY,
the
fan
group
of
the
South
Korean
music
sensation
BTS,
that
he
will
be
discharged
from
the
hospital
soon.
"I'm
sorry
for
the
concern.
I'll
be
able
to
leave
the
hospital
soon!
I'm
recovering
well," Jimin
said
in
a
post
on
the
fan
community
forum
Weverse.
"I
also
ate
three
meals
of
rice,"
he
wrote,
promising
fans
that
he
will
also
recover
"my
skills"
soon.
BigHit
Music,
the
management
agency
of
the
group,
on
Monday
said
Jimin
experienced
sudden
abdominal
pain
along
with
a
mild
sore
throat
on
January
30
in
the
afternoon.
"He
visited
a
hospital
emergency
room
for
thorough
examination,
and
also
took
a
PCR
test.
Jimin
was
diagnosed
with
acute
appendicitis,
and
was
tested
positive
for
COVID-19.
He
underwent
surgery
following
physician
advice
early
morning
on
Monday,
January
31," the
agency
had
said
in
the
statement.
The
member,
whose
full

Ji-min,
will
receive
a
few
days
of
in-patient
treatment
for
COVID-19
in

care,
BigHit
Music
had
said.
Jimin
had
"no

in-person
concerts
in
Los
Angeles,

late
last
year.
