Singer IU will be tested for COVID-19 on November 10th.

IU decided to take a preemptive test after singer Lim Chang-jung, who sang a congratulatory song at the wedding of Lee Ji-hoon and Ayane, was diagnosed with the virus the day before.

On the 10th, E-Daily , borrowing the words of an official from EDAM Entertainment, IU's agency, said, "On the day of the wedding, IU was the first to sing a congratulatory song while wearing a mask. We plan to inform you when the results of the tests are available at a later date."

Earlier, singer-actor Lee Ji-hoon's wedding was attended by IU, Im Chang-jung, musical actors Kai, and Son Jun-ho. Stars such as Bada, Hong Seok-cheon, Shim Jin-hwa, Jung Tae-woo, Kim Woo-ri, Kim So-hyun, and Kang Ye-bin attended as guests. Among them, the news of Im Chang-jung's confirmed case continued to raise concerns among fans. 

Lim Chang-jung sang while wearing a mask, but due to the nature of the enclosed space, it seems that those attending the wedding will also need to be tested for COVID-19.

It is known that the manager and staff, who were on the same track as Im Chang-jung, tested negative for COVID-19.

TWICE's Sana shared a funny but honest story about the time she thought about secretly flying home with fellow member Momo.

On the May 20 episode of SBS’s variety show Whenever We Get a Chance, TWICE’s Jihyo and Sana appeared as special guests. The two idols brought laughter with their stories and bright energy.

Jihyo and Sana joined hosts Yoo Jae Seok and Yoo Yeon Seok as “gap friends” for the show. Jihyo mentioned seeing Yoo Jae Seok at concerts before, saying, “We always run into each other at concerts. You even go to other idols’ shows!” Yoo Jae Seok laughed, confirming, “That’s true.”

Yoo Yeon Seok revealed it was his first time meeting the two TWICE members. But Jihyo surprised him by saying, “I’ve actually seen you before. A long time ago at a birthday party.” Yoo Yeon Seok smiled and recalled, “Oh, Seulong’s birthday party, right?” Yoo Jae Seok joked, “Jihyo really knows everyone. She’s a social butterfly.”

When Yoo Yeon Seok asked how Sana got her start, she explained, “I was cast and got invited to audition. After the audition, the company called my parents and asked, ‘Would you let your daughter go to Korea?’ At first, they said yes. But once we got home, they were unsure and said, ‘Maybe you shouldn’t go.’”

Sana also talked about how she wasn’t close with Jihyo back then. “Jihyo was close to debuting and even had separate lessons,” she said. “I couldn’t really talk to her because I didn’t speak Korean well.” Jihyo agreed, saying, “We couldn’t even have a conversation in the beginning.”

Sana then shared a moment that made everyone laugh. “There was a time I thought about secretly going home at dawn,” she said. “I even thought about how to quietly pull my suitcase out. But the company had our passports. I would’ve had to break in and get them, so it didn’t work out. If I could have, I would’ve left. Momo and I planned to go together.”

Fans praised the idols for their honesty and humor, showing once again why TWICE is so loved by many.
