It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later! On 17 September, BIGHIT Music announced via Weverse that SUGA of K-pop mega-group BTS will begin mandatory military service on 22 September. “SUGA will be beginning his required service on 22 September” the agency wrote on the fan community platform. “There will not be any official events taking place on the day he starts his service or on the day he enters the training camp.” “We kindly ask fans to refrain from visiting Suga at his workplace during the period of his service. Please convey your warm regards and encouragement in your hearts only,” the statement continued. The statement concluded with the agency asking for the fans’ continued support until Suga finishes his military service: “We ask for your continued love and support for Suga until he completes his service and returns.
