SHINee leader Onew has recently been diagnosed with the H1N1 virus, more commonly known as the swine flu. Onew’s illness comes after his fellow SHINee member, Jong-hyun, was hospitalized with the flu last week.
Onew was sent to the hospital after developing a slight fever and is currently resting at home until he fully recovers. Since Onew is the second SHINee member to fall ill with the highly contagious virus, members Ki-bum, Tae-min and Min-ho have now also been tested for swine flu. As it stands, none of the other members currently have the virus.
Though their leader is currently out of commission, SHINee is still scheduled to perform on the November 8th taping of SBS “Inkigayo“. It is rumored that Super Junior leader Lee-teuk will fill in for Onew during the performance. Earlier this week, Super Junior’s Ye-sung had to replace SHINee member Jong-hyun (then ill with H1N1) during the group’s November 6th KBS “Music Bank” performance.
Onew is just another name on the the long list of celebrities who have fallen ill with the virus. Fortunately, his fellow member Jong-hyun was diagnosed and released within the week. Let’s hope Onew can recover just as quickly!
