The singer must receive several days of hospital treatment for covid-19 along with post-operative care, according to the statement.
The operation was successful and Jimin is recovering after the operation,” said Big Hit Music, adding that he was “recovering quickly” from the COVID-19 infection.
Jimin, 26, is the fourth member of the seven-member group to test positive for coronavirus.
Rappers RM and Suga and vocalist Jin tested positive in December, shortly after the group returned from a series of concerts in the United States.
The US concerts were BTS’s first in the country since 2019, when they toured Asia, Europe and North America.
