Lee Seung-gi Diagnosed with New Flu

Singer/actor Lee Seung-gi has been diagnosed with H1N1 influenza. Lee's representative said that the singer complained of high fever, headache, and coughs after shooting variety show "Two Days and One Night" last Saturday. He was rushed to a hospital emergency room Monday evening when the symptoms persisted and there he was tested for the new flu. He immediately notified the "Two Days and One Night" production team of his symptoms. The test confirmed of Lee's condition on Tuesday. The doctors prescribed Tamiflu and seven days of isolation and rest for Lee. He's known to have gotten much better after taking the anti-viral drug.

In the wake of the flu diagnosis, Lee has suspended all activities, including the Son Dam-bi & Lee Seung-gi Concert scheduled for Thursday, November 12th, in Los Angeles. However, "Two Days and One Night" and "Heart of Steel", two shows in which Lee is making regular appearance, are not affected by his absence, for they have already taped episodes for the following week.
