According to her production firm, Lalisa Manoban, a global megastar who acts as Lisa in the K-pop group Blackpink, tested positive for the coronavirus on Wednesday. YG Entertainment, the production business, stated in an emailed statement on Thursday that the other members of Blackpink — Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé — had all tested negative for the virus. YG said that all four members of the band had been vaccinated against Covid-19 and that the band's production crew, security workers, and acquaintances had also tested negative.

Ms. Manoban, 24, had not addressed her roughly 68 million Instagram followers about the positive test as of Thursday morning local time. YG, on the other hand, claimed she was "symptom-free and in excellent health."
