BTS rapper Suga held his last concert in Seoul on Sunday. The official dates of his military enlistment are yet to be announced.

A day after concluding his D-Day concert, BTS member Suga announced his plans for military enlistment. Taking to Weverse, BTS agency BigHit Music shared a post on Monday. It said that Suga started the process by applying for the termination of his enlistment postponement. The official dates are yet to be announced, reports Hindustan times.

The statement read, "Hello. This is BigHit Music. We would like to inform our fans that Suga has initiated the military enlistment process by applying for the termination of his enlistment postponement. We will inform you of further updates in due course."

It also added, "We ask you for your continued love and support for Suga until he completes his military service and safely returns. Our company will spare no effort in providing support for our artist. Thank you."

At his concert on Sunday, Suga was seen crying while performing. He later took to Weverse and held a live session. As translated by Twitter user @ryuminating, Suga said, “I really am not the type to cry, but starting from Snooze, I felt it. The members were there and my sunbaenims came too. Before, I had dreams while watching many sunbaenims and now I have become someone’s sunbae. And those 10 years flew past me. And that’s when the tears came."

He hinted that the Seoul concert was his last performance on stage. He also talked about getting reunited with the other BTS members RM, Jin, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook in 2025. “If I say 'soon', that feels like a lie. So let’s see each other again in 2025. All right? Please wait a bit. 2025, let’s see each other then. You did great. Bye!" Suga said.

BTS fans react

Reacting to the news, a fan wrote on Twitter (now X), "We love you Yoongi! We will wait for you always. Please be safe and take care of your health." A comment read, "I am crying." A Twitter user wrote, "Man, I don't even know what to say. Wasn't the thump of yesterday's show not enough???? I just wanted to hug my boy and not let go." "This breaks my heart. Stay safe Yoongi," tweeted another person.
