Other Members Got Sick And Had Covid
J-Hope is not the first member of the group to get covid. Jimin got covid around the time when he was operated on for appendicitis. Kim was the latest member to get covid. After that, Jin hurt his finger and had to undergo a small surgery.
The group of boys was very excited to perform live after the pandemic. For two years now, they had been doing concerts online. According to sources, they were sick and tired of going online to meet fans virtually. The septet band said that they ‘didn’t know how precious it was to see each other in person and to jump together! I feel like we took a giant step. We’re really home now. It was so meaningful to us.’
Neither J-Hope nor any other members of the group have made any statement regarding the news or their upcoming performance. So the fans don’t know yet whether he will be able to join the band for the Grammys or not.
They might have to perform without Hope or they might even cancel. For now, the fans await any kind of news from the boys and pray for Hope’s quick recovery.
