Anticipation is high in the K-pop industry as experts predict a bright future for BTS in 2025. The group has been voted the most anticipated artist next year after the members completed their mandatory military service.
As the members gradually complete their service, anticipation for the group's activities in 2025 is getting stronger. Jin was discharged in June 2024 and J-Hope in October 2024, while the remaining five members are expected to be discharged in June.
With only about 50 days left until the members' comeback, fans are excitedly counting down the days. They also want to see the members - who they haven't seen for the past 2 years, especially SUGA.
Since his enlistment, SUGA has barely shared any photos of himself on SNS, making fans miss him even more.
But not only are fans waiting for news from him, but even HYBE's performance director recently reminisced about memories with SUGA, мιѕѕιиg him so much that he shared a post on SNS.
In a recent post by Ko Ki Won, HYBE's performance director, he posted a poster from SUGA | Agust D TOUR 'D-DAY' in ѕιиgαρσяє with a notable caption: "It’s been a while".
SUGA's solo tour started in April 2023 and ended in August of the same year, some months before he started his alternative service path as a social worker.
Ko's statement moved netizens, who shared similar feelings. It has been 2 years since fans joined his vibrant concert. After the concert ended, ARMYs were also in a long period of silence until j-hope was the next member to go on a world tour.
Fans shared their thoughts when looking at SUGA's post:
- Dday tour is to be strong for ourselves. Hope on the stage tour is to be happy for ourselves. Thats how i feel. im at my happiest state and yes, im crying
- Still soooooo obsessed with this yoongi
- Everyone misses him so much
- Yoongi, you're so loved and we all miss you
- He knows. Yoongi come back in D55!
- we'll welcome him back warmly, lovingly and we'll be ready for whatever happens
- SUGA's tour was pure magic, unforgettable. Miss him so much
Meanwhile, the latest movement of SUGA that fans could find out about recently was through HYBE when he donated 100 million KRW through the кσяєαn Red Cross to support forest fire relief.
ARMYs have also seen signs of SUGA logging into his fancafe account a few times, but he has never made an official appearance on Weverse like the other members.
On the other hand, some fans are also buzzing after KATSEYE's Manon shared that she ran into a BTS member at HYBE headquarters recently. Manon initially mistook it for j-hope but was corrected by the other members of the group.
However, she later did not reveal the identity of the BTS member she met, although she denied fans' speculation that it was Jin. With Manon's reaction, fans speculated that she most likely met SUGA because he and j-hope have similar body types and have caused confusion in the past.
A little news about SUGA on this day makes fans even more eager for his discharge day to come soon!
