One of the successful K-pop artists, Min Yoongi, also known as Suga, is all set to start his military duty after BTS members Jin and J-hope.
SUGA is scheduled to begin his mandatory military service on September 22. BTS is now in the chapter two era that is way more different than the first one, and the most important part is the military duty that every abled South Korean man has to perform.
In South Korea, all physically healthy men between the ages of 18 and 28 are required to serve in the military. This qualification includes a two-year minimum of military service. For the members of the well-known South Korean boy band BTS, there was an exception. They were permitted to put off their mandatory military service until they turned 30. Suga, one of the BTS members, who turned 30 on March 9, qualified for this exemption.
One after another, at the right time, members are fulfilling their duties.
This is the time for Suga after his successful album release and tours.
Moreover, the agency revealed the news with an official announcement as under,
BTS Min Yoongi Military Enlistment Announcement
The news was announced via an official statement on the global fan community forum Weverse.
The announcement has important details about the date and requests to fans to respect the day. Additionally, BigHit Music made it clear that neither the day BTS’ Suga starts his service nor the day he reports to the training camp will have any formal events planned.
They politely asked that during the service period, fans must not pay him a visit at work. It is good to let the artist have his own space and privacy while he performs his civic job.
Fans are asked to convey their love and support for BTS’ Suga in their hearts rather than by paying him a visit.
BigHit Music also cautioned fans to be mindful of unauthorized tours or package products that illegally use the artist’s intellectual property.
He would go just like a non-celebrated person and complete his mandatory duty for which he is fully capable. In the time of duty, he would not be allowed to do certain things as the whole focus is on the national service.
BTS members are world-famous K-pop artists and everything about them becomes an event. Fans admired them so much that a lot of times they tried to approach them in mass, even at unofficial events.
In the case of military duties that are an important and mandatory part of Korean society for men, everyone is treated equally and chaos is unacceptable.
Therefore, people and BTS ARMYs are said to stay calm and peaceful and pay him love and good wishes just.
Furthermore, Min Yoongi went live on Weverse to talk about his coming enrollment in the military in an emotional way and his connection with the BTS ARMY. He encouraged fans, stressing that military service is nothing to be sad about, and expressed confidence that the group would be reunited in 2025. Suga added a humorous element to the talk by making fun of how hard it is to recognize him with his new short hairstyle.
Fans of BTS find relief after hearing about the group’s plans to come back together around 2025 after completing their service obligations.
After BTS’ Suga, remaining BTS members like Kim Namjoon, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, and Jeon Jungkook would go for their duties within time limitations. It is said that all the members would be united after the fulfillment of duties.
Nonetheless, Min Yoongi is about to serve in the military and his fans have shown mixed emotions about his going. No matter their comprehensive success, the country’s rules and laws are for everyone.
