Suga of BTS recently completed the process of canceling his deferral for mandatory military service and is expected to enlist in the winter of 2023.
Big Hit Music announced through Weverse, a communication platform for fans, that Suga has begun the procedure for fulfilling his military duty and that further updates regarding his enlistment will be provided later. The agency requested warm support and unchanging love for Suga as he fulfills his military duty and returns in good health.
Suga, who received the Order of Cultural Merit along with other BTS members, was eligible for a deferral of enlistment until the end of 2023. If he cancels the deferral, he will receive his enlistment notice within approximately 3 months.
Suga will be the third BTS member to fulfill his military obligation. Previously, the eldest member Jin enlisted in December 2022, and J-Hope enlisted in April 2023, each serving their military duties.
Before his enlistment, Suga released his solo album "D-Day" in April, which achieved global success by reaching 2nd place on the Billboard 200 chart. He also wrapped up a successful solo world tour concert recently.
