Suga was the first to test positive. The star took a PCR test upon returning on Thursday, which resulted in a positive notification on Friday morning. As per restrictions in South Korea, Suga went into quarantine after getting tested, and did not come in contact with other BTS band members, BIGHIT Music said in an earlier statement.
