BTS SUGA communicated with his fans to bid farewell ahead of his military enlistment.

As reported, SUGA's label took to Weverse and announced that the BTS member will be fulfilling his military duties beginning on September 22. On an online forum, netizens expressed a mix of sadness and admiration as they watched SUGA make poignant exchanges and reveal his new hairstyle on Weverse. During the livestream, SUGA spoke casually about his recent days.

He spoke: "I cut my hair. I think it's been about 40 days since I've come here, and I have gained some weight. I've rested and eaten well. Well...not really a rest, since there were some shoots."

"It's been a while you've seen me with a haircut, right? I'm also having difficulty getting used to it."

He also talked about how he was ill for sometime after his concerts and stayed mostly with his family. He said he did not want "the attention to disperse when V's album came out" and quietly spent time with his members. "A month passed by just like that. I was shocked. I haven't done anything for about 30-40 days...wow."

SUGA also gave a bittersweet notice that he naturally "won't be able to shoot Suchwita" but has already filmed a lot of episodes in advance for the fans to enjoy.

Lastly, he said: "It's nothing to cry about! Let's see each other in 2025."

His farewell for the time being led netizens to express their appreciation and words of care for SUGA.

Reactions include:

"I wish 2025 were tomorrow..."
"Stay healthy and see you soon, SUGA"
"Thank you so much for the tour, SUGA. Waiting for you is nothing as I relive those wonderful memories"
"Our previous SUGA...take care of your health!"
"It will be 2025 when he comes back...? OMG"
"Please don't get injured"
"It was so good to see your face today...thanks for everything"
