Yoo was confirmed to have the virus after receiving the second polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test in the morning, Antenna said.
He initially tested negative after being notified as a close contact of a confirmed patient Saturday.
The 49-year-old comedian received his second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in late September, according to the agency.
