(Video) EXO Suho, TREASURE & CRAVITY Members Greeted By Fans After Arriving At KLIA
The end of May is truly an exciting time for K-pop fans. Earlier this year, it was announced that EXO leader Suho, and K-pop boy groups CRAVITY and TREASURE, will be making their appearances in Kuala Lumpur on Friday (30th May) and Saturday (31 May) respectively.
It now appears that the idols have safely arrived in Malaysia, with fans gathering at Kuala Lumpur International Airport to give them a warm welcome. Here's what went down:
Let's start with EXO's Suho. The singer safely landed at KLIA last night (Thursday, 29th May), where he was greeted by excited fans who had been eagerly awaiting his arrival for hours. The 34-year-old was seen waving to supporters while being escorted by security personnel to a buggy, which transported him to his vehicle. Suho is set to take the stage later tonight at Mega Star Arena for his 'Meet Your SUperstar' Falcon x SUHO Special Performance concert. This also marks his third SOLO return to Malaysia after performing here twice last year.
On the same day, TREASURE members Park Jeongwoo, Doyoung, Choi Hyunsuk and Haruto were also spotted at the airport. The boys will be making a special appearance later today for the Brice With TREASURE event at Sunway Pyramid. Early this morning, just before dawn, fans who had gathered at the airport since the wee hours spotted the members of CRAVITY shortly after they disembarked from their flight.
The boys were seen cheerfully waving to fans from the upper levels of the terminal as they made their way through the airport to their vehicle. For those who may not be aware, member Taeyoung previously lived in Malaysia for 4 years, making this visit something of a homecoming for the vocalist. The idol group is set to share the stage with ATEEZ for the 2025 KPop Masterz In Kuala Lumpur With ATEEZ And CRAVITY concert happening tomorrow. At the time of writing, there's no information on when ATEEZ themselves will arrive in KL, but we can assume that their flight will be later today.

Last member of K-pop megaband BTS to finish military service
K-pop band BTS members RM (left) and V react after being discharged from a mandatory military service in Chuncheon, South Korea, Tuesday, June 10, 2025. -- AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon SEOUL (AFP): SUGA, a member of the K-pop megaband BTS, will officially complete his mandatory military service on Saturday, marking the full return of all seven members of the global supergroup from duty. South Korea's most lucrative musical act has been on a self-described "hiatus" since 2022 as its members undertook the mandatory service required of all South Korean men under 30 due to tensions with the nuclear-armed North. SUGA will be the last to complete his service, ahead of the group's widely anticipated return to activities as a full unit. His final day concludes at 11:59:59 pm, according to the band's agency HYBE and South Korea's Military Manpower Administration. The rapper, who served as a social service agent -- an alternative form of military duty -- effectively completed his service on Wednesday after using up his remaining leave, according to his label. "Above all else, I wanted to .... sincerely thank our fans who waited for me all this time," SUGA told the group's fans -- collectively known as ARMY -- on the platform Weverse. "I've missed you so much." Before entering military service, the megaband generated more than 5.5 trillion won ($4 billion) in yearly economic impact, according to the Korea Culture and Tourism Institute. Analysts expect HYBE's operating profit to jump next year, driven in part by BTS's anticipated return to large-scale touring, with some projections forecasting a 71 percent year-on-year increase. "The importance of BTS's reunion to HYBE, K-pop and South Korea at large cannot be overstated. They are singular in their part of the Korean Wave," Grace Kao, a sociology professor at Yale University, told AFP. "I think their next tour will be their biggest yet." Since their release last week, band leader RM has appeared at Art Basel in Switzerland as the new global ambassador for Samsung's Art TV, while member V was spotted attending a piano recital in Seoul alongside "Old Boy" filmmaker Park Chan-wook. - Soft power - BTS has long been considered one of the best examples of South Korea's soft power reach, even making a White House visit in 2022. They have spoken candidly about mental health and anti-Asian crime and donated $1 million to the Black Lives Matter movement in 2019, inspiring fans to contribute the same amount. K-pop's surging popularity has also helped break down barriers for Asian artists, said Keung Yoon Bae, a Korean studies professor at Georgia Institute of Technology. "Singers such as Eric Nam, born and raised in Atlanta, have discussed before how they had to go to Korea because they felt that attaining a music career in the US as an Asian felt impossible," she said. "Today, groups such as BTS and Blackpink seem to be breaking down that sense of impossibility." Despite the widespread acclaim, SUGA was fined 15 million won ($10,933) for driving an electric scooter under the influence of alcohol last year. On Saturday, he once again apologised for the incident in a message posted on Weverse. "I'm sorry for the disappointment and concern I caused due to what happened last year. More than anything, knowing I caused pain to my fans broke my heart," he said. "I'll do my best to repay the love you've given me - now more than ever." - BTS

BTS' Suga completes military service, fans await reunion
SEOUL: K-pop group BTS member Suga was discharged from the South Korean military on Saturday, the seventh and final member to complete the country's mandatory national service amid expectations of the band's comeback from a hiatus. Suga finished his military tenure as a social service agent on Saturday with little fanfare as fans looked forward to his reunion with the rest of the band, a K-pop sensation since it started up in 2013. 'We confirm that Suga effectively completed his alternative service on June 18 by using his remaining leave. His official discharge date is June 21,' BTS' label, Big Hit Music, said in a statement. Unlike with his BTS bandmates, there was no public event planned to mark Suga's release because of overcrowding concerns. The seven members of the group put their global music careers on hold in 2022 to begin their military service, starting with Jin in December that year. South Korea's mandatory national service can be for terms of up to 18 months. Shortly after his official discharge, Suga posted a message on fan community platform Weverse, saying he was 'sorry for the disappointment and concern caused by what happened last year', and also apologizing to his bandmates. Last year, Suga was fined 15 million won ($11,500) by a court for drunk driving while on an electric scooter. The group is expected to hold its largest-ever world tour in 2026, an NH Securities entertainment analyst said in a report. Entertainment group HYBE, which manages BTS, is closely monitored by securities companies. Details of a reunion have not been released.
