Unlike some celebrity enlistments that come with fanfare, Suga's departure will be a low-key affair, with no official events being planned. BigHit Music has also requested fans to refrain from visiting him during his service.

In a statement issued on Weverse, BigHit Music said, “SUGA will be beginning his required service on September 22. There will not be any official events taking place on the day he starts his service or on the day he enters the training camp. We kindly ask fans to refrain from visiting SUGA at his workplace during the period of his service. Please convey your warm regards and encouragement in your hearts only,".

“Furthermore, please be mindful to avoid getting adversely affected by unauthorized tours or package products that illegally use the artist’s intellectual property. Our company will take appropriate measures against attempts at any commercial activity that make unauthorized use of artist IP. We ask for your continued love and support for SUGA until he completes his service and returns. Our company will also strive to provide all the support he needs during this time," the agency added.

This news has evoked an emotional response from fans, who have expressed their love and support for Suga. 

Despite his absence, fans have pledged to patiently await his return, showing the unwavering bond between BTS and their devoted ARMY.
