yikes!!! :( yeah i hope they keep celebs away from those affected, that's a damn quick way to spread the disease (even more than it already has spread)

Oh knetz were right it was her staff :(

if they keep promoting like nothing happened it's just a matter of time before celebs start getting sick ... i find kinda irresponsable to go on with regular promotions, they just put both fans and idols in danger

my friends living in seul talked about many turistic attractions, churches, schools, etc closing to prevent corona virus. This other friend who likes clubbing(and works in a bar) says both itaewon and hongdae are looking lonely and kinda empty lately , they mentioned you mostly see foreigners going out because korean people are already voluntary recluding themselves 🤷 kpop companies should stop exposing idols

I agree about promotions. Even if there's no audience, there are still staff and other workers who have to make sure the show runs, and then they risk exposure to the virus.

To be fair, K-Pop has been super quiet the past months (since the new year). It's mostly rookies and mid-tier groups that are promoting. Not sure if it's because of BTS' comeback or Corona.
I do think that concerts and live shows will continue to get cancelled.

i agree that both concerts and live shows will continue to get cancelled. i think comebacks will still continue to happen - companies will just find a way to distribute comeback type content that doesn't require audiences or physical interaction between artists and fans. example: doing streaming showcases (like bts did) on v-live and youtube; releasing more behind the scenes videos; streaming q&a's, etc.

honesly any large gathering of people (in close proximity) should be avoided
But comeback could stil aoccur with maybe more digital/live stream content

FYI- Her staff caught it in Italy during Milan Fashion Week.

I hope that her staff has a speedy recovery. I know that I.U and Lisa (B.P) also went to Milan Fashion week too. I hope that nothing bad happened to them or their staff.
