STAYC Cancels Fan Meeting After 5 Out of 6 Members Test Positive for COVID-19

K-pop girl group STAYC has canceled the group's fan meeting after five out of six members testing positive for COVID-19.

On August 8, STAYC's management agency HIGH-UP Entertainment announced that Sumin, Sieun, ISA, Seeun, and J have been diagnosed with COVID-19.

Yoon is the only member who has been tested negative for COVID-19.
According to the agency, all members initially tested negative through the self-testing kits they used before attending their scheduled activities.

However, on the early morning of August 8, Sieun had a sore throat and used another self-testing kit, which came out positive.

Sumin, Isa, Seeun, and J also tested positive on the rapid antigen test that they took after the self-testing.
The agency informed that all six members of STAYC have completed their third vaccinations, and the members are showing no severe symptoms other than a sore throat.

As almost all members of STAYC have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the group's first fan meeting 'STAY COOL PARTY', which was scheduled to take place on August 13, has also been temporarily postponed.
