BTS’ Suga
BTS member Jin was officially discharged from the military on June 12, 2024, and was welcomed by his bandmates outside the base. However, Suga (Min Yoongi) was noticeably absent, sparking speculation that he was waiting in a car due to his different enlistment category as a social service employee, which requires a 21-month service period. However, the Kpop idol appeared during the cake-cutting ceremony of Jin, pics of which went viral on social media.
