BTS' SUGA breaks silence after DUI controversy with emotional 2025 FESTA message: 'Spending my time waiting...'
Since his military enlistment in 2023 and a subsequent DUI-related controversy that shook the fandom in 2024, SUGA has remained largely out of the spotlight. His absence, paired with the ongoing anticipation for a full BTS reunion, had left fans anxious. But now, with his emotional voice message during BTS Festa's VOICE ZONE segment, SUGA has made it clear: he's been missing ARMY just as much as they've missed him.
SUGA's touching message to fans
In his pre-recorded audio note, SUGA addressed fans with a tender sincerity that resonated deeply. He expressed, 'Hello, this is SUGA. I feel like it's been so long since I got to greet you. ARMY, have you been doing well? I've been spending my time waiting for the day I get to see you again. I miss you so much. I love you, everyone.'
This brief but heartfelt message marks his first direct communication with fans in months. Despite the simplicity of his words, the impact was immediate and profound. ARMY floods social media with emotional responses.
ARMY reacts
Within minutes of the voice note being released, ARMY took to platforms like X to express how much they had missed hearing from SUGA. Many noted that, although the message was brief, it brought overwhelming comfort.
Some even described it as one of the most meaningful moments of the entire BTS Festa. It's especially sweet as this came from a member who had not been much active since the start of his public service duties.
What's next for BTS and SUGA?
Currently, SUGA is serving as a public service worker and is expected to be discharged on June 21, 2025. With six members (RM, Jin, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook) now officially out of the military, fans are counting down the days until SUGA rejoins them. It's raising anticipation for a full-group BTS reunion.
With SUGA's heartfelt message and the group inching closer to a complete reunion, ARMY's excitement is at an all-time high. Whether BTS will return with new music, a concert tour, or another major announcement remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: SUGA's voice has rekindled a powerful flame of hope among fans.

Jin apologizes to J-Hope for FAILING to recognize him at solo concert, wonders if BTS would perform as backup dancers
BTS member Jin's solo Run Seokjin Ep Tour has been praised far and wide for its unique events and unconventional progression. During one of the parts where the star has to guess the name of a BTS song or any other keyword related to himself, as the fans perform charades, he ended up not being able to recognize one for fellow member J-Hope and during a post-concert livestream, ended up saying sorry for it. Replying to another fan's comment about having his teammates as his background dancers, the oldest from the team shared how it may not be possible to hire them due to their sky-high appearance fees. Jin is not one to shy away from challenges, and as a die-hard game lover, he thought what better than to start his solo concert shouting 'I challenge', and progress into a series of fun games that involved his fans in the audience. One of the most loved sessions during the gig is the charades game, where his fans act out the song or keyword written on the screen. During his July 30 concert in Newark, the singer had to guess J-Hope, and despite all the Killin' It Girl choreography and shirtless acting from the BTS ARMY, Jin was unable to figure out it was his teammate. During a post-concert livestream, J-Hope asked, 'Hahaha, why do you look so exhausted, Jin?' Spotting the comment, he replied, 'Someone's [among the members] here? J-Hope y bro. Today, the keyword to guess at Run Jin was J-Hop,e and I failed. Sorry, my bro! What's that thing you do every day? I'm sorry for my fault, I'm J-Hope something, yeah, that,' he ended up joking about it. BTS as backup dancers? Why not! In the same livestream, another fan asked if he would consider having his group mates as his dancers on tour, and the singer had the perfect response. 'Have the BTS members as back dancers for my tour? Wow, it'll cost us so much money to hire them. Would they do it for free?' We're sure Jin, the members would be more than happy to!

After egg photo, BTS' Jimin deletes Jungkook's caricature of him, plays with young cat despite allergy
BTS' Jimin is on a roll these days! After mostly being MIA during his military service and achieving impressive accolades, he's back on social media. Well on his way to prove why he's the funniest member, much like J-Hope said, he has been making the internet burst into laughter with every move. On July 31, the singer deleted another one of his iconic posts on Instagram, one that had become the fandom's recent favorites. It was a caricature of the singer himself drawn by teammate Jungkook. Just a couple of days ago, the Who singer went on his Instagram to delete the picture of a lonely egg he had shared before his military enlistment in November 2023. The sudden act left the fans surprised, but the singer defended himself and shared how he felt relieved to make his social media look better. Now, the hilarious marker drawing made of him by Jungkook, which had become a point of discussion among fans, has disappeared, and we think the singer may be laughing about it back in his room. BTS' Jimin and cats: A surprising match Earlier in the day, Jimin updated his Instagram story with a video of a tiny cat which he was seen petting. As a remark, he added that it was taken a month ago and was heard saying 'be well' to the adorable animal, calling it cute. A grey fur cat with black stripes, it appeared to be enjoying the scratches from the K-pop singer, unaware and uncaring of his global status. A previous video shared mere days ago showed Jimin following another kitten around as it waited for the BTS member to play with it. A story like no other, Jimin and cats share a special bond, as despite his allergy to their fur, the Korean singer finds himself going back to them. His song Serendipity specifically mentions a calico cat, which has always made fans link him to one.
