Suga was last seen in public on June 13, attending J-Hope’s encore solo concert finale at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium, which coincided with BTS' annual Festa celebration.

All BTS members have now completed military service

Now that SUGA has officially completed his military service, BTS is finally seven again. The long-awaited full reunion is no longer a distant dream, marking the end of an era where fans had to cheer on the members one enlistment at a time. Jin was the first to return in June 2024, followed by J-Hope in October. This month, RM and V were discharged together on June 10, while Jimin and Jungkook came back just a day later on June 11. And with SUGA finishing up his duties ahead of schedule on June 18, the group is now officially complete for the first time since late 2022.

With the emotional wave of BTS FESTA 2025 still fresh, and the members now reunited and reenergised, fans are now looking forward to what’s next. A HYBE official recently confirmed that the group will release new music in March 2026, but an official announcement is awaited.
