2AM Jo Kwon to be back on feet next week

Boy band 2AM leader Jo Kwon, who was diagnosed with the H1N1 influenza flu this week, is on his way to making a full recovery and is set to be back on his feet next week, according to an official at his agency on Friday.

"The doctor has said he has recovered, though he has yet to undergo a final checkup to receive a clean bill of health," a PR manager at JYP Entertainment told 10Asia over the phone.

She added that his entire schedule has been put to a halt for the rest of this week but will probably be able to resume his activities starting next week.

The 20-year-old singer had gone to the hospital after falling ill over the weekend. He was found to be infected with the flu on Wednesday although he had already been making a recovery.

Jo Kwon makes regular appearances on TV show "We are Married" as a make-believe married couple with Brown Eyed Girls member Ga-in.

His four-member group has been popular since their debut in 2008.
