Like his fellow members Jin and J-Hope, Suga quietly enlisted without fanfare at the request of the BTS member and BIGHIT MUSIC out of respect for fellow recruits and their families.
Before enlisting, he left a heartfelt message for fans on Weverse, sharing his parting lines with ARMYs at the forefront as he hoped fans would take care of themselves while the seasons changed.
Hello. It’s Suga. I came to send my greetings! I was able to safely come this far thanks to ARMYs. And it’s finally time. I will come back after faithfully finishing my service. Please be careful as the seasons are changing to a chilly autumn. Let’s all stay healthy and meet again in 2025! ARMY!!!! I’m always thankful, and I always love you☺️
