WAKE ONE Entertainment Shares Update on ZEROBASEONE’s Zhang Hao’s Health

On August 25, WAKEONE Entertainment issued a statement regarding Zhang Hao’s health. According to the agency, they immediately noticed that the ZEROBASEONE member was unwell.

“Zhang Hao’s condition was abnormal, and he suffered from light body aches,” the statement read. “After preemptively taking a rapid antigen test, he was confirmed to have COVID-19.”

Zhang Hao has been reported to be experiencing only a minor symptom of a sore throat, and as a precautionary measure, he is undergoing a five-day isolation period to minimize the risk of infection transmission. In a positive development, all other members of ZEROBASEONE have undergone testing, and their results have come back negative, indicating they are currently free from infection.

Additionally, the video call event initially planned for the 26th of August has been postponed to a later date. The group and organizers are also prioritizing the safety and well-being of all involved. In line with this, further updates will be provided as Zhang Hao’s condition evolves.
