JAKARTA - Suga BTS and the agency announced the departure date for their military service. Previously, the agency BIGHIT MUSIC confirmed that Suga had prepared for his military service after completing a world tour.

Suga became the third BTS member to fulfill his obligations after Jin and J-Hope. The agency stated that the singer whose real name is Min Yoon Gi will depart on 22 September.

Suga akan wajib militer pada 22 September. Tidak ada acara resmi ketika ia memulai kegiatannya atau ketika dia masuk kampel training, kata BIGHIT MUSIC pada Minggu, 17 September.

The agency asked fans not to visit Suga during the military service period. They also hope that fans will not buy Suga-themed products from being released from unofficial companies.

"Be careful to receive advertisements from unofficial tours or illegal products that use artist intellectual property. Our company will explore commercial activities that use artist IPs," he said again.

In that statement, the agency also expected support for Suga so that he could finish his military period well.

We ask for support and love for Suga until he completes and returns. Our company will also provide the support he needs. Thank you," the agency said.

Suga BTS started his solo tour titled Agust D since last April in Belmont, United States. The tour continues to several cities in the United States, then Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, and South Korea.

Concerts in South Korea were held for five days, namely on June 24 and 25 as well as 4 to August 6, 2023. Suga set a record by selling all his tickets as a solo artist as well as a member of BTS.

Before serving in the military, BTS members submitted to postpone the military and then registered for the division they wanted. This was also done by J-Hope which ended the delay in February and departed in April.

The military delay is one of the benefits given by the South Korean government for the success of BTS globally which has also had an impact on South Korea's economy and tourism.
