Suga is eligible for military service as he is a South Korean citizen who has turned 30 this year. He was granted a postponement of his service in 2020 due to his anxiety disorder. However, he has now decided to serve his country.

Suga’s fans have expressed their support for his decision. They have tweeted messages of love and encouragement, using the hashtag #ThankYouSuga.

Suga is the third BTS member to enlist in the military. Jin and J-Hope both enlisted earlier this year. The remaining members of BTS are expected to enlist in the coming years.

Read on to see BigHit Music’s official statement;

“Hello.This is BIG HIT MUSIC.

We ask you for your continued love and support for SUGA until he completes his military service and safely returns. Our company will spare no effort in providing support for our artist.
