BTS' Suga has finally has finally been discharged from his mandatory military service. The rapper's military service was a bit longer than his fellow BTS members due to his duty as a public service worker. Because of his shoulder surgery which he had in 2020, Suga aka Min Yoongi was deemed unfit for regular combat duty. It is pertinent to note that the Kpop idol started his military service earlier than his bandmates.
BTS' Suga returns
Suga's military discharge was confirmed by BIGHIT Music to be on June 21, 2025, with no early release mentioned. In fact, his management team requested fans not to gather at the discharge site due to safety concerns and overcrowding issues. Unlike his bandmates, Suga did not have a public event marking his release.
After completing 21 months of service as a social worker, Suga officially reunites with BTS, ending the group's 2.5-year hiatus. The septet is expected to focus on their full-group comeback, with Jhope hinting at a world tour and new music.
As Min Yoongi has returned from the military, ARMYs are celebrating it in the best possible ways. Here is a look at it:
