BigHit Music, the agency behind BTS, has officially confirmed that Suga will be discharged from his mandatory military service on June 21, 2025.
Serving as a social service worker due to previous health concerns, Suga’s discharge marks the end of BTS’s nearly three-year-long military hiatus. This milestone completes the group’s full reunion, with all seven members now ready to resume group activities.
In the official statement, BigHit Music urged fans to refrain from visiting the discharge site to prevent overcrowding and ensure everyone’s safety. The agency confirmed that no formal event or public appearance will take place on the discharge day. Fans are encouraged to send their well wishes remotely and respect the privacy of the members.
Suga enlisted in September 2023 for alternative military service due to a prior shoulder surgery and related health issues. His service period was longer than some of his bandmates, who served active duty.
Other BTS members completed their military service as follows: Jin in June 2024, J-Hope in October 2024, and RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook in early June 2025.
BigHit Music highlighted the significance of this discharge, noting that BTS’s full group activities will resume after this period, with plans for new music and a world tour expected in 2026.
Ahead of his discharge, Suga sent a heartfelt voice message to ARMY via the 2025 BTS FESTA Voice Zone, expressing his deep feelings after the long separation:
“Hello, this is SUGA. It feels like it’s been so long since I got to greet you. ARMY, have you all been doing well? I’ve been spending my time waiting for the day I get to see you again. I miss you so much. I love you, everyone.”
The announcement comes shortly after BTS’s rare full-group appearance during J-Hope’s “Hope on the Stage” concert in Seoul on June 13, 2025, celebrating their 12th debut anniversary and signaling the group’s upcoming return to the spotlight.
