Company statement
Thank you very much for always supporting JO1.
JO1 was scheduled to appear at "KCON 2022 LA" to be held in Los Angeles, USA on Sunday, August 21, but Takumi Kawanishi, Sukai Kinjo, Junki Kono, Keigo Sato, Issei Mamehara. Due to the fact that five members of JO1 were infected with the new coronavirus, we decided to cancel the appearance.
Sato complained of his sore throat and poor physical condition on the 12th (Friday) of this month, so he received a PCR test and was confirmed to be positive for the new coronavirus. Along with Sato's positive diagnosis, all the remaining members also underwent a PCR test, and the above four were diagnosed as positive. From now on, I will recuperate according to the instructions of the medical institution.
Regarding "KCON 2022 LA", we have decided to cancel the appearance as a result of complying with the guidelines for the new coronavirus infection in Japan, South Korea, and the United States. We apologize for the inconvenience and concern caused to everyone who was looking forward to the performance and to everyone involved, and we ask for your understanding.
Our first priority is to ensure the safety of our artists, staff, and everyone involved, and we will continue to thoroughly implement measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
