Pop idol Kim Hyun-joong of boy-band SS501 was confirmed Tuesday to have been infected with influenza A (H1N1) and is hospitalized in Tokyo, according to his agency. 

Kim is the first celebrity to be diagnosed with the disease that has already affected 6,214 people here. 

According to Japanese showbiz insiders, Kim visited a hospital in Yokohama Tuesday after suffering from a high fever. 

He was given the antiviral drug Tamiflu and placed in an isolation ward where he will stay for 15 days. 

Kim gained international fame after starring in the KBS smash hit ``Boys over Flowers'' as a handsome tycoon heir earlier this year. He was on a Japanese promotion for the drama from Saturday through Monday. 

Kim's agent said other band members are well and they will continue working on a new album to be released in Japan. 

ALLKPOP ARTICLE.


SS501 leader and Boys Over Flowers star, Kim Hyun Joong, has been diagnosed with swine flu. The singer turned actor was in Japan to promote his hit drama series on the 5th and the 6th. During the promotion he had shown signs of a fever and a headache, which caused him to miss his activities on the 6th.

A representative from DSP Media gave a formal statement saying, "Scheduled for a flight, at 12pm on the 7th of September, he had passed through immigration without any problems but later in the afternoon, due to a sudden change to his health, he was taken to the emergency room."

While in the ER, it was diagnosed that the star has swine flu, and the representative says that the star is being treated but has to remain under further observation to make any other report, thus causing him to remain in Japan. Kim Hyun Joong's manager has been sent to the hospital to check on the matter and will inform the public with more details when available.
