In a bittersweet moment for BTS and ARMY, the talented rapper-songwriter of Suga, also known as Min Yoongi, is preparing to embark on his mandatory military service on September 22. But before temporarily bidding farewell to fans, Suga went live on Weverse on September 17, delivering a heartfelt message and assurance of his safe return.
Suga’s military service will see him serving as a social worker, extending his tenure to 21 months instead of the standard 18-month service period. With this announcement looming over the BTS fandom, Suga took to Weverse to comfort his devoted followers.
During his live session, Suga reassured fans with a warm message: “There’s no need to cry, we said we’ll meet in 2025, right??? We promised, right? Let’s see each other in 2025…” These words provided solace to fans, reminding them that this farewell is temporary and that they can look forward to reuniting with Suga in the future. He also shared a line from his song from the ‘D-Day’ album, emphasizing that the future holds promise and hope.
Reflecting on his solo tour, Suga expressed his satisfaction with how it had unfolded. He even revealed that he intentionally postponed his enlistment by a few days to ensure that fellow BTS member Taehyung’s album promotions would not be affected.

Suga’s Weverse live session held a heartwarming surprise as Jin and J-hope, who are currently in the military, made a special appearance. They offered words of encouragement and strength to Suga, expressing their support for him during this significant life transition.
The BTS ARMY has found it challenging to bid farewell to yet another member of the beloved group as they prepare to fulfill their military service obligations. This journey began in October 2022 when BigHit Music confirmed BTS members’ intentions to proceed with their enlistment. Jin, the eldest member of the group, led the way in December, followed by J-hope in April.
As fans cherish the memories created by Suga and eagerly await his return, the BTS leader, Kim Namjoon, is likely to be the next member to enlist, followed by the maknae line, including Jimin, V, and Jungkook. The BTS journey continues, marked by milestones of growth, service, and unwavering support from their dedicated fanbase.
