BTS‘s Suga has initiated the military enlistment process.

BTS’s Suga

Suga has concluded his SUGA | Agust D “D-DAY” world tour after four months and 28 phenomenal shows. The final show proved extra meaningful as ARMYs noticed details that symbolized the rapper finding healing.

Yet, they did not expect that they would have to say goodbye so soon…

Following the concert, Suga held a live broadcast via Weverse. He implied that we might not see him until 2025, the year that BTS previously said would be when the group could make a full comeback after each member returns from fulfilling their mandatory enlistment.

: "If I say (see you/let's meet) soon, it'll feel like a lie. Let's see each other next in 2025, okay? Please wait a short while. 2025…let's see each other then. You worked hard. Bye!"pic.twitter.com/iGEMBBTSQR

Sure enough, BIGHIT MUSIC shared an update later. Suga had officially withdrawn his military postponement request.

Hello.
This is BIGHIT MUSIC.

We would like to inform our fans that SUGA has initiated the military enlistment process by applying for the termination of his enlistment postponement.

We will inform you of further updates in due course.

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.

Thank you.

ARMYs were taken off guard by the announcement. They had enjoyed all the recent activity, from Suga’s concerts and live broadcasts to member reunions, not to mention Suga’s show Suchwita.

This is not the news they wanted. Some wished BIGHIT MUSIC would change its introductions.

ARMYs are dreading the day that Suga receives his buzzcut. Over the past year, his hair had grown so long.

Yet, ARMYs are also using humor as a coping mechanism. They joked that Suga is joining J-Hope and Jin, but the younger members are now left unsupervised.

Some are in straight-up denial, wishing that Suga wouldn’t have to go. But they know deep down that the sooner he goes, the sooner he can return.

Some have made reference to Agust D’s iconic line “Future’s gonna be okay” from his song “D-Day.”

“future’s gonna be okay” yeah it is because i’m taking yoongi with me pic.twitter.com/HtZkzys9mr

And speaking of Agust D… While Suga is enlisting, does this include Agust D?

No but they only said Suga was enlisting they didn't say anything about AgustD.

Previously, ARMYs speculated that RM would be the next member to enlist. Read his response below.
