Will SUGA have military discharge ceremony like RM, Jin, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook? All we know about BTS reunion
BTS member SUGA is all set to complete his mandatory military duty on June 21, making him the seventh and final one from the group to do so. Following this, the rapper will not have to return for his alternative work, which was awarded to him as part of the social service enlistment arm of ROK military enlistment laws. A Military Manpower Administration exam resulted in this type of service, which would entail 21 months of work in areas like welfare centers, community service centers, or post offices. SUGA's alternative service BTS members RM, Jin, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook served as active duty soldiers in the military, having to enlist for 18 months. Meanwhile, the second oldest, SUGA, received a grade 4 in his physical exam, which is held before his military enlistment. It meant he had to opt for an alternative service. It is believed that the level was given owing to his shoulder injury, for which the rapper has previously undergone surgery, even taking a break from official promotions. Post his discharge, it is said that the singer will reunite with his bandmates. A livestream is expected from the seven, which J-Hope has previously hinted at via an undisclosed Killin' It Girl promotional schedule planned for June 21. It is likely that no separate discharge ceremony will be held for the Daechwita singer, and he will only stop logging in to his workplace where he had been assigned to work for the past 1 year and 9 months. Most recently, all members of the group were present in the audience on their debut anniversary concert of J-Hope's HOPE ON THE STAGE World Tour. It came to an end with final encore concerts on June 13 and 14 in Goyang, attended by over 50,000 BTS ARMY from around the globe. SUGA cheerfully waved at his fans when the camera panned to the members in the audience, alongside fellow bandmates. It marked the Haegeum singer's first public outing with the group since his enlistment on September 22, 2023, as well as his electric scooter DUI case, which happened on August 6, 2024. While he had been very lowkey ever since entering his military phase, SUGA went absolutely silent post the latter. BTS is expected to release a new album, as well as go on a world tour following the group's reunion on June 21, Saturday.

BTS' J-Hope opens up about feeling ‘pressure' during solo HOPE ON THE STREET tour: ‘Had to handle that immense energy'
For BTS' J-Hope, going solo wasn't just about stepping into the spotlight—it was about stepping into the unknown. Seven months after completing his military service, J-Hope didn't rest. He went straight to what he loves - Performing on stage. His tracks like LV Bag, Sweet Dream, and Mona Lisa are climbing the charts from Billboard to iTunes. But beyond the success, there's a deeper story: one of self-doubt, pressure, and personal growth.. While on his HOPE ON THE STAGE World Tour 2025, J-Hope sat down with Billboard for an interview. During the conversation, he opened up about one of the most intense parts of this new chapter—wondering whether he could carry the energy and pressure of a full solo world tour. 'Having performed at countless stadiums with BTS, I was always part of a seven-member team filling the stage,' J-Hope said. 'This time, I was on my own, and honestly, I wondered if I could handle that immense energy and pressure by myself,' J-Hope added. This wasn't just about nerves, it was about carrying the weight of expectation, fans, production, and performance, all without the familiar support of his group. He admitted that the thought alone was overwhelming. It's hard to describe. But J-Hope didn't let the pressure defeat him. 'But I pulled it off and that means a lot to me — it's a milestone I'll always cherish.' More than just performing, the HOPE ON STAGE tour became a way for him to embrace his identity on a deeper level. Known for his iconic introduction, 'I'm your hope, you're my hope, I'm J-Hope,' he explained that those words now carry more meaning than ever. 'I've come to realize that being 'Hope' isn't just a nickname—it's a message. And I want to express that with sincerity in everything I do.' BTS' J-Hope's HOPE ON THE STAGE solo tour will wrap up with two encore concerts in Goyang Stadium, South Korea, on June 12 and 13, 2025. The tour, which began in February, marks not just a musical achievement, but a personal one—a journey through fear, pressure, and ultimately, belief in himself.
