Suga, a member of the group BTS, has been discharged and expressed his gratitude and apologies to fans.
On this day, Suga communicated with fans through the platform Weverse, saying, "I am discharged today and it's been a while since I greeted you," and added, "First of all, I want to sincerely thank the fans who have been waiting for me. I really missed you."
He continued, "I think I had time to reflect on myself over the past two years. In particular, I felt the need to step back and take a moment away from the work I have been doing for a long time," and said, "I have been running forward without looking back at myself, but this time has become an opportunity for me to reflect on myself again. Thank you, ARMY (the fandom name), for waiting and thank you."
Suga also said, "I am sorry for the disappointment and concerns caused by what happened last year. Above all, I was very upset that I hurt the feelings of the fans. I also felt sorry for the members who must have had heavy hearts in their respective places because of me."
Suga was classified as a social service agent in 2022 due to a shoulder injury from a past traffic accident. He began alternative service as a social service agent in September 2023 and was discharged today.
During the alternative service period, there was a drunk driving controversy in August of last year. At that time, he was charged with drunk driving for operating an electric scooter while intoxicated and received a summary order with a fine of 15 million won.
