Because it\u2019s a day I\u2019ve been waiting for, and it\u2019s also been such a long time, I pondered a lot about how to greet you. First, above all else, I wanted to sincerely thank my fans for waiting for me until now. I really missed you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tEarlier this week, BTS\u2019 label Big Hit announced that Suga had finished his two-year military tenure as a social service agent, though the official date of completion was June 21.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cI think that over the past two years, I took time to think about myself,\u201d Suga continued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cIn particular, I also felt that I needed to temporarily distance myself and step back from the work I\u2019d been doing for a long time. Before, I\u2019d only been racing forward without looking back on myself, but this time gave me the opportunity to reflect on myself once again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAlthough all seven members of BTS have now completed their mandatory military service, there are no immediate plans for the K-pop group\u2019s reunion; Big Hit also refrained from any \u201cspecial events\u201d to celebrate Suga\u2019s discharge, as \u201covercrowding can pose safety risks, and we sincerely request our fans not to visit the sites in person. Please convey your warm regards and encouragement in your hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIn his message to fans, Suga also apologized for his the incident where he operated an electric scooter under the influence in Seoul in August 2024, \u201cI apologize for disappointing you and giving you cause for concern through the incident from last year.
