SUGA's service lasted 21 months, which is longer than his fellow BTS members. It is reportedly due to his designation as a public service worker, often assigned to individuals with past injuries or health conditions. He began his training quietly and away from the spotlight, unlike other members whose enlistments were more public.
His last official appearance before enlistment had been during a legal matter in 2024. Since then, he had maintained a low profile ever since. His reappearance at j-hope’s Hope On The Stage encore concert earlier this June took fans by surprise.
It was SUGA's first public outing in nearly two years, and he was spotted in the audience alongside RM, Jin, V, Jimin, and Jungkook.
The sight of all seven members attending the same event during their 12th anniversary week turned the moment into an emotional celebration. During the same FESTA period, voice messages from all members were released. SUGA’s note marked his first words to fans in a long time and brought many to tears.
Since 2022’s Proof, the group hasn’t released a full-group album. Now that all the members having completed military service, fans await for what's to come next. Jin and j-hope finished their services in June and October 2024, respectively.
Meanwhile, RM and V finished on the same day on June 10, 2025. A day later, Jimin and Jungkook were discharged on June 11, 2025.
