BTS' SUGA pens a heartfelt letter to fans following his return from the mandatory military enlistment

BTS' SUGA or Min Yoon-gi enlisted in the military in September 2023 as a public social worker. This enlistment is an alternative to the mandatory service as an active soldier if the person is deemed unfit due to health and other related reasons. SUGA served under the same due to his shoulder injury.

Following SUGA's return from the military enlistment on June 21, the idol greeted his fans with a heartfelt letter. Here's what the letter read:

"It's been about two years. How have you all been. It's been a long time since I was called off today. It's a day I've been waiting for and it's been a long time, so I had a lot of thoughts on how to say hello. First of all, I wanted to say thank you to the fans who have been waiting for us. I really missed you. I think I had two years to think about myself. "

SUGA continued,

"In particular, I wanted to take a step away from what I had been doing for a long time. In the meantime, I have not been able to look back on myself because I have been running forward, but this time has been an opportunity to look back on myself. In the future, we will try our best to repay the love you have given us. I love you. Everyone, I'll keep you posted from time to time."
