BTS member Suga shared his first impressions of returning to fans after completing his defense obligations. Suga expressed gratitude towards his fans and stated that he had time to reflect on himself over the past two years.
On the 21st, Suga said on Weverse, "It's been about two years. How has everyone been? As of today, I have been discharged, so I am greeting you after a long time. It is a day I have been waiting for, and it’s really been a while, so I was very worried about how to greet you. Most importantly, I wanted to sincerely thank all the fans who have waited for me during this time. I really missed you all."
Suga conveyed, "I think I had time to think about myself over the past two years. Especially, I felt the need to step back and distance myself from the work I have been doing for a long time. I've been running forward without reflecting on myself, but this time has allowed me to reconsider it all."
He added, "Thank you to the ARMY for waiting, and I apologize for the disappointment and concern caused by the events of last year. Above all, I felt very upset about hurting the feelings of the fans. I was also sorry to the members who probably had heavy hearts in their respective positions because of me."
Suga said, "In the future, I will work harder to repay the love you have given me. I love you all, and I will communicate with you frequently."
Meanwhile, Suga was discharged on the 21st after completing his service as a social service worker. With Suga's discharge, all BTS members have completed their defense obligations.
