It is official – almost. Soon, all seven members of the massively popular K-pop group BTS will have completed South Korea’s mandatory military service.
Rapper Suga will be the last of the bandmates to be released, on Saturday, after fulfilling his duty as a social service agent, an alternative to serving in the military that he reportedly chose because of a shoulder injury.
BTS’ entertainment agency said no events are planned for Suga’s release out of concern for overcrowding.
The six others – RM, V, Jimin, Jungkook, Jin and J-Hope – served in the army. Four of them – RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook – were discharged earlier this month. Jin, the eldest BTS member, was discharged in June 2024, as was J-Hope in October.
