According to BigHit Music, the singer did not exhibit any particular symptoms during his quarantine.

"He had a slight fever when he first began treatment at home but has since made a full recovery."

In response to a concerned fan's post on Weverse last Thursday, V had written "I am feeling good." 

When the agency announced V's diagnosis, they said the singer was in contact with the other members of the band but everyone was wearing masks.

Last December, fellow BTS members Suga, group leader RM, Jin also tested positive for the virus.

In January 2021, BTS member Jimin went through surgery for acute appendicitis while also recovering from COVID-19.
