"Following Quarantine Guidelines and Procedures During Self-Isolation"
Actors Oh Man-seok (46) and Seo Yi-sook (53) tested negative for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
Oh's agency Good Friends stated on the 21st, "Although there was no positive result, he has entered self-quarantine in accordance with government and related agencies' quarantine guidelines and procedures." Oh was classified as a close contact after a makeup artist he had been in contact with for about two hours on the 17th tested positive for COVID-19. The makeup artist was confirmed to be Oh's amateur baseball team colleague and the makeup artist for the play 'Jjamppong.' Previously, actors Seo Seong-jong, Heo Dong-won, and Kim Won-hae, who prepared for 'Jjamppong,' tested positive for COVID-19.
Oh realized he was classified as a close contact while filming 'Genre Only Comedy' at the JTBC building in Sangam-dong. He immediately shared the information with the production team and stopped filming. Oh wrote on Twitter, "I apologize for causing concern and worry. I am sorry to the production team for causing disruption to the filming."
