His quiet discharge on Saturday, June 21, wraps up a major chapter for the band, setting the stage for a long-anticipated reunion.
Big Hit Music, BTS’ management label, confirmed in a statement: “We confirm that Suga effectively completed his alternative service on June 18 by using his remaining leave. His official discharge date is June 21.”
Unlike the public fanfare that surrounded some of his fellow members’ releases, Suga opted for a low-key exit from service due to concerns over crowd control.
The rapper and producer served as a social service agent—an alternative to active duty—following a prior shoulder surgery. He’s been on hiatus with BTS since the group paused collective activities in 2022, when Jin first enlisted.
What's next for BTS?
With all seven members—RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—now free of military obligations, the road is wide open for a massive comeback. According to an NH Securities report, the band’s biggest-ever world tour is expected to launch in 2026, although Big Hit has yet to confirm any dates.
Shortly after his discharge, Suga took to Weverse to thank fans and offer a heartfelt apology, referencing a drunk-driving incident in 2023 that led to a court-imposed fine of 15 million won (around AED 40,000). “I’m sorry for the disappointment and concern caused by what happened last year,” he wrote.
Fans across the globe are already gearing up for what could be a historic return. One thing’s clear—ARMY’s wait might finally be coming to an end.
