BTS’ Suga Pens Letter to ARMYs After Military Discharge, Apologises for DUI Case

In his first post after being discharged from social work, BTS member Min Yoongi, also known as Suga, penned a long, heartfelt note for ARMYs. He was serving his mandatory military duty as a public service worker, which is an alternative form of military service.

He thanked ARMY for waiting for so long and also apologised to them. The rapper wrote, “Hello, armys, nice to meet you. It’s me, Suga. It’s been like 2 years. How have you all been doing. I’m greeting you all after a long time since I’ll be officially completing my service today. It’s also a day I’ve been waiting for, and since it’s been a really long time, I thought a lot about how to greet you. First of all, before anything, I’d like to say sincerely thank you very much to you all for waiting till now. I really missed you.”

Suga shared that over the past two years, he has done a lot of self-reflection and also felt the need to take a step back. He continued, “I’ve spent the past 2 years thinking deeply about myself. I also felt the need to take a step back— especially from the work I’d been doing for so long and distance myself (and look at it). All this time, I’ve only been focused on moving forward, barely taking the time to look at myself, but this period gave me the opportunity and time to look back at myself. Armys, thank you and thank you again for waiting.”

He also indirectly referred to the drinking under the influence (DUI) case last year and shared, “And I’m sorry for causing disappointment and worries with the incident last year. More than anything, I was upset by the fact that I hurt you all. I was also very sorry to the members who had to go through a heavy heart in each of their positions because of me. I’ll work hard even more to repay all the love you’ve given me. I love you. I’ll keep you guys posted time to time.”

As soon as the letter was published, fans rushed in Yoongi’s defence and reassured him that he doesn’t need to apologise. One fan wrote, “YOONGI DID NOT DISAPPOINT ARMYS”. Another comment on X read, “Today was suppose to be a happy day, why is he apologizing again? but that just him. Min Yoongi. Our kind heart Min Yoongi.” “you didn’t disappoint us yoongi”, wrote another ARMY.
