South Korean actor Song Joong-ki went into self-quarantine after coming into close contact with COVID-19 positive acquaintance. As a result, the filming of the movie 'Bogota,' starring Song Joong-ki, was also halted.
On the 2nd, Song Joong-ki's agency, History D&C, said, "On the 30th of last month, we received a call that a person close to Song Joong-ki was confirmed to have been diagnosed with COVID 19, so we immediately stopped all schedules and proceeded with preemptive testing. As a result, Song was tested negative, but he was classified as a close contact and was notified of self-quarantine."
Song Joong-ki's side explained, "We plan to suspend all scheduled schedules and continue taking measures in accordance with the guidelines of the quarantine authorities."
Filming for the movie 'Bogota', which resumed filming in Korea on the 21st of last month as Song Joong-ki entered self-quarantine, will be stopped for about two weeks. 'Bogota' was shoot n in Colombia in January last year, but staffs were withdrawn from the country in March as COVID 19 expanded. After that, it was decided to finish the rest of the filming in Korea for about three months based on the amount of existing filming. After that, filming began in Korea on June 21, but again was stopped as Song goes into self-quarantine.
