Actress Song Ji-hyo tested negative for COVID-19, but still went into a 10-day quarantine as she has not been vaccinated.

According to Song's management company Creative Group ing Friday, the actress did not receive COVID-19 vaccination shots because she is "allergic to Western medicine."

"In 2011, Song felt short of breath and had blotches on her body after getting an intravenous injection (IV) to regain her strength," the agency said in a statement. "She was taken to the emergency room, but even after that, she continued to show abnormal reactions to antibiotics… So this time, she had no choice but to follow her doctor's advice and take a cautious approach to vaccination."

Song underwent COVID-19 testing Thursday, three days after filming SBS's variety show "Running Man" with Eunhyuk of K-pop boy group Super Junior, who tested positive on Thursday. Song, a regular cast member of the program, will not film "Running Man" on Jan. 24 and Jan. 25 due to her self-quarantine. All the other regular cast members of "Running Man," including comedian Yoo Jae-suk and actress Jeon So-min tested negative for COVID-19.

Song made her acting debut in the feature film, "Wishing Stairs" (2003) and has starred in a number of movies and dramas such as, "Jumong" (2006) and "Emergency Couple" (2014). She joined "Running Man" in 2010.
