Today marks the 33rd birthday of Min Yoongi, but from early in the day, fans around the world had already begun celebrating the special occasion with birthday projects in Seoul and many major cities across the globe. ARMYs also flooded social media with birthday wishes for him from the start of the day.

Meanwhile, SUGA himself spent a memorable birthday with the members and staff of BTS. A video shared by j-hope on Instagram captured an adorable moment: when the staff turned on their phone flashes and sang “Happy Birthday,” SUGA appeared shy, smiling and looking slightly embarrαѕѕed by all the attention.

Not long after, the rapper continued celebrating with fans worldwide through a live broadcast. During the livestream, he sang the birthday song and blew out the candles on two cakes that had been prepared in front of the camera. At the same time, he chatted with fans about BTS’s upcoming comeback and world tour, remarking: “There's only 11 days until the album comes out, less than 2 weeks. Time really flies.”

Notably, during the conversation with fans, SUGA shared an υиєχρє¢тє∂ piece of TMI. After reading a comment from a fan asking, “Did you lose weight?”, he confirmed: “I ℓσѕт a lot of weight now. I weigh 59 kg. 59 kg.” This brief statement quickly spread across social media and became a hot topic of discussion.

In reality, fans are not unfamiliar with idols losing weight when a group is preparing for new activities. Many idols begin controlling their weight weeks or even months before a comeback in order to look their best on camera or on stage. Within BTS itself, members such as Jungkook and Jimin have previously talked about following rather strict ∂ιєts to reach their desired weight before each comeback.

Moreover, SUGA also revealed that his current schedule and the group’s activities are quite intense, as they are simultaneously preparing for their comeback and rehearsing for upcoming concerts. During the broadcast, he shared: “I'm preparing for the comeback show right now, and at the same time, I have to prepare for the concert too. I'm so overwhelmed. It's not easy…” The heavy workload and demanding rehearsals partly explain why the rapper may have ℓσѕт weight quickly in recent times.

Even so, the number 59 kg still surprised many fans. With a height of around 1.74 meters, this weight is considered quite slim for a male artist. Some ARMYs also noted that SUGA’s face has recently appeared noticeably slimmer, even losing the familiar “chipmunk cheeks” that once gave him a youthful and adorable look.

Interestingly, in another moment during the livestream, SUGA suddenly mentioned fans who were observing Ramadan. He said: “Some of you are observing Ramadan. They say they're fasting. But as far as I know, you can eat once the sun goes down. Is that right? It must be. I'm also just having my first meal after sunset.” This remark amused many fans, as even though he is not Muslim, SUGA’s current eating routine seems somewhat similar to those fasting during Ramadan.

Understanding that weight loss may be part of the preparation for BTS’s upcoming comeback, many fans still expressed concern for the rapper’s health. Alongside their excitement for the group’s future projects, ARMYs also hope that SUGA will take good care of himself, eat well, and not be overly strict with his ∂ιєt during this busy period:
