“Enhypen member Ni-Ki has been diagnosed as positive for Covid-19 while undergoing self-quarantine,” Belift stated, assuring Ni-Ki is being closely monitored with daily testing.

“He began showing symptoms of coughing on Friday, [Sept] 3, and on the following day was diagnosed as positive for Covid-19,” the label added.
