SEOUL : Kim Hyun Joong of popular South Korean boyband SS501 has been diagnosed with the H1N1 flu virus and is currently hospitalised in Tokyo, said his agency.
The “Boys Over Flowers” star who was in Japan to promote the hit drama series over the weekend, was down with a fever and a headache, and was forced to miss promotional activities on Sunday.
According to a statement by agency DSP Media, Kim was scheduled for a noon flight back to South Korea on Monday and had made it through immigration without any problems. But the singer was later taken to the emergency room when his health took a turn for the worse.
The 23-year-old was diagnosed with Influenza A (H1N1) and will remain in Japan for further observation.
Kim’s agent said other band members are well and will continue working on a new album which will be released in Japan.
