Jungkook is officially able to attend the 2022 Grammy Awards with his fellow BTS members. Because the BTS singer tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19) after arriving in Las Vegas, it was unclear if Jungkook would be able to attend the award show. On April 2, Big Hit Music published a new Weverse announcement to let fans know that Jungkook has recovered from the coronavirus and was cleared to attend the 2022 Grammy Awards.

Jungkook will be able to attend the 2022 Grammy Awards

Jungkook originally tested positive for the coronavirus after arriving in Las Vegas for the upcoming Grammy Awards. The BTS singer traveled ahead of his other bandmates on a separate flight.

The 2022 Grammy Awards are set to take place on April 3. Because Jungkook tested positive for the coronavirus so close to the event, it was uncertain if he would be able to attend and perform with BTS.

In the Weverse announcement, Big Hit Music confirmed that Jungkook will be at the 2022 Grammy Awards.

“Upon conclusion of the quarantine, Jung Kook took a rapid antigen test in the United States to join the schedule for the Grammy Awards. The result came back negative, and the awards organizer has approved of his Grammy Awards participation,” wrote Big Hit Music.
