BIGHIT MUSIC has responded to reports of Suga's recruitment.
On December 13, it was reported that BTS member Suga would be hired to work as a public service worker. Specific recruiting plans such as when to enlist have not been disclosed.
In response to the reports, a BIGHIT MUSIC representative shared, “The BTS members plan to serve in the military sequentially according to their own plans. "It is difficult to confirm the personal information of artists."
