BTS' Suga's first post after military discharge

Suga wrote, "Hello, armys, nice to meet you. It's me, Suga. It's been like 2 years. How have you all been doing. I'm greeting you all after a long time since I'll be officially completing my service today. It's also a day I've been waiting for, and since it's been a really long time, I thought a lot about how to greet you. First of all, before anything, I'd like to say sincerely thank you very much to you all for waiting till now. I really missed you."

He also shared that he had spent the past 2 years thinking deeply about himself and felt the need to take a step back, especially from the work he had been doing for so long and distance himself. "All this time, I've only been focused on moving forward, barely taking the time to look at myself, but this period gave me the opportunity and time to look back at myself," he added.

Towards the end of his post, Suga also thanked the BTS ARMY and apologised for causing disappointment and worries with last year's incident. "More than anything, I was upset by the fact that I hurt you all. I was also very sorry to the members who had to go through a heavy heart in each of their positions because of me," he added.

The 32-year-old ended his note with the promise that he will work hard to repay all the love fans have given him.

About Suga’s Drunk Driving Case

In August 2024, Suga landed into controversy when it was revealed that he was involved in a drunk driving case while riding an e-scooter. He was taken to the police station and was tested for alcohol. Reportedly, his blood alcohol level was 0.227%, due to which his licence was revoked.

A district court in Seoul imposed a fine of 15 million won ($11,500; £8,600), as per reports.

Post the incident, Suga faced severe backlash on social media- some even protested against him and asked him to leave BTS.
