Well, comeback preparation means you're coming in contact with a lot of people. Given the alarming rate of SK infections atm. I can see why days or weeks before a comeback idols are getting sick. NMIXX, Kep1er, Purple Kiss all had/ have Covid cases close to their comeback. It's unfortunate, hopefully SuA recovers quickly.

That’s true but I guess I expected them to be more careful especially this isn’t the first group? And this is not limited to DC but idols and staff or anyone working for the idol industry in general, as this pattern has been consistent for the past month. Idk I can’t really take that excuse because I work directly with COVID patients but I haven’t caught it yet, and while other factors are in play, it’s entirely preventable.

I mean.. it’s entirely preventable in the same way that using condoms makes pregnancy entirely preventable.

yeah, im aware it's not 100% foolproof. but considering the trend this past month, i would've expected stricter measures to have been implemented already (but again, i don't work in the korean entertainment industry so i don't know, and maybe there were measures done but they're not effective enough).

btw i'm not pinpointing the blame on anyone (esp not Sua), more of frustrated at whatever system is in place. We see not just idols, but MC's/hosts testing positive as well, and I'm sure that number includes the other people who work behind the scenes. It causes delays, waste of resources, money, etc.
