Four members of the globally popular K-pop group BTS have been formally released from the military after completing their required service in recent days.
Only Suga, also known as Min Yoongi, remained in the South Korean military after two other members had been released earlier. Fans shouldn't worry, though, because his discharge date is quickly approaching.
When Will Suga Finish His Military Service?
Due to a shoulder injury, Suga started his military service on September 22, 2023, but he served as a public service employee instead of in combat. It is anticipated that his term will end on June 21, 2025. In order to accommodate his health condition and fulfil the nation's military obligations, it was decided to assign him to public service duties.
Suga's solo studio album D-Day, released under the name Agust D, was widely praised before he enlisted. Fans around the world are excitedly anticipating both his return to music and the much-anticipated BTS reunion, which many believe will happen later this year, as his release date approache
Why Is Military Service Mandatory for BTS Members?
All physically fit men between the ages of 18 and 35 in South Korea are legally obligated to serve in the military for 18 to 21 months.
In keeping with the civic and patriotic responsibilities deeply embedded in South Korean society, this conscription is intended to protect national security and preserve the nation's sovereignty.
In order to fulfil this national duty, BTS members—like all South Korean men—had to put their thriving careers on hold.
Fans, affectionately known as ARMY, are giddy with anticipation over BTS's future plans now that the majority of the group's members have finished their service. Astute fans recently spotted J-Hope wearing an ensemble that was reminiscent of the group's famous Run BTS series, leading to a lot of conjecture that some BTS members might soon accompany him on stage.
Now that only Suga is still serving, it doesn't seem impossible for the group to have a surprise reunion.
