BTS's Suga Shares Heartfelt Update After Completing Military Service

BTS member Suga has personally shared an update with fans following his discharge from military service.

On the 21st, after being officially discharged, Suga took to the fan communication platform Weverse to express his thoughts, saying, "It's a day I've been waiting for, and it's been so long that I was unsure how to greet you. Above all, I wanted to sincerely thank the fans who have waited for me." Suga completed his service as a social service agent on the 18th, using his remaining leave.

Suga continued, "I think I've had time to reflect on myself over the past two years," adding, "I've been running forward without looking back, and this period allowed me to take a step back and reflect on myself."

Additionally, Suga apologized for last year's incident involving drunk driving. In August of last year, he was summarily indicted for riding an electric scooter under the influence in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. His blood alcohol content was reported to be 0.227%, about three times the legal limit for license revocation, and he received a summary order to pay a fine of KRW 15 million.

Suga expressed, "I'm sorry for causing disappointment and concern with last year's incident. It was especially upsetting to have hurt the fans' feelings," and added, "I also feel sorry to the members who might have felt burdened because of me."

Below is Suga's full message.

Hello everyone, nice to see you. This is Suga.
It's been about two years. How have you all been?
As of today, I've been discharged, and I'm greeting you after a long time.
It's a day I've been waiting for, and it's been so long that I was unsure how to greet you.
Above all, I wanted to sincerely thank the fans who have waited for me.
I've really missed you.

I think I've had time to reflect on myself over the past two years.
I especially felt the need to step back from the work I've been doing for so long and take a step back.
I've been running forward without looking back, and this period allowed me to take a step back and reflect on myself.

ARMY, thank you for waiting and thank you.
I'm sorry for causing disappointment and concern with last year's incident.
It was especially upsetting to have hurt the fans' feelings.
I also feel sorry to the members who might have felt burdened because of me.

I will strive to repay the love you've given me even more in the future.
I love you. I'll keep in touch from time to time.
