According to an Associated Press story, Suga, the rapper and songwriter for BTS, has formally finished his required military duty, signaling the release of all seven members of the K-pop group from South Korea's conscription system. Big Hit Entertainment, BTS's label, which is now part of Hybe, confirmed that Suga finished his alternative service responsibilities on Wednesday after utilizing his remaining vacation days. He was formally released on June 21, which was a Saturday. The report also said that the agency did not plan any public events for the day due to worries about overcrowding.

The last person to finish his military duty was Suga

Due to his previous shoulder surgery, the Associated Press reported that Suga, whose real name is Min Yoongi, worked as a social service agent. The final member of the group to fulfill his national obligation was August D, as he was sometimes called. His alternative service included civilian labor, unlike the army service of his bandmates.

With Suga's release from required duty, BTS may now reunite as a group and prepare for a complete return in 2026.

The group's head, RM, was released from the hospital last week

Four of the group's seven members were released from the military last week. RM, also known as Kim Namjoon, and V, also known as Kim Taehyung, were discharged on June 10, while Jimin and Jungkook followed a day later. In December 2023, all four started their military service.

In December 2022, Jin, the oldest member, became the first to join the army; he was released in June 2024. J-Hope, also known as Jung Hoseok, finished his service in October 2024.

The Military Service Act of South Korea

Every man between the ages of 18 and 28 who is physically fit is required to serve 18 to 21 months in the military under South Korea's compulsory conscription legislation. According to the AP report, K-pop idols were not granted any exceptions despite their worldwide impact, whereas Olympic athletes and classical musicians were.

However, the South Korean government updated its Military Service Act in 2020, enabling well-known artists such BTS to postpone their enrollment until they turned 30. Before serving, this allowed the party more time to keep expanding its worldwide success.

Rumors about likely exemptions for BTS, though, sparked heated public discussion in 2022, with mixed viewpoints. The agency and the band members eventually declared in October 2022 that all seven members will carry out their responsibilities without requesting any exceptions.

Now that their military duties are over, fans all over the world may anticipate the eagerly awaited reunion of BTS and the next installment of their extraordinary adventure.
