BTS' SUGA makes Instagram comeback after 2 years, supports Jin's solo concert with Jimin and Jungkook
BTS member Jin held Day 2 of his RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR concert in South Korea at the Goyang stadium, and it looked like another fun-filled occasion for the fans of the group. After V, RM, and J-Hope attended day 1, it was time for SUGA, Jimin, and Jungkook to ensure their support reached the oldest member. They cheered, laughed, and had a jolly time at what is being called one of the most fun gigs fans have ever experienced. SUGA returns to the public eye after DUI and completing military service It was member Min Yoongi's first time at an official event following the completion of his alternative military service, where he worked as social service personnel for 21 months, unlike the 18 months in active duty, which the other 6 were a part of. SUGA soon took to his personal Instagram account with 50 million followers to share a photo of his attendance at the Jin concert. The BTS ARMY was delighted and celebrated his return to social media after a break of over 2 years, where he chose to be silent during his mandatory duty. Jimin and Jungkook accompanied the Agust D singer as the three arrived in casual fits, faces covered with masks, to enjoy the Jin solo concert. The Promise star also shared a clip from the show, revealing Epiphany as his favorite track from the BTS member. He added how only hyung could have done the performance, complimenting the time he had at the event with 'I had a great time watching your show.' Meanwhile, Jungkook had a blast laughing while watching the fans try to sing along to the high-note songs. He soon changed into official merch from the tour, making it another must-have item from the list. TOMORROW X TOGETHER member Beomgyu also attended the concert and shared that it was fun to be there, with Ref Velvet's Wendy joining Jin on the stage for a live performance of their collaboration track Heart on the Window. Jin is set to tour multiple cities around the world next, with the last stop set for August.

Who is BTS' Suga? Inside the K-pop star's $40M rise as he returns from military service today
BTS star Suga is officially done with his military service. After his return, attention is turning not only to his comeback to the global stage but also to the impressive fortune he has built during his career. With an estimated net worth of $30 to $40 million, Suga—real name Min Yoon-gi—has quietly become one of the most financially successful K-pop artists of his generation. Born in Daegu, South Korea, in 1993, Suga began writing music at the age of 13 and joined Big Hit Entertainment in 2010. He debuted with BTS in 2013 and soon emerged as a leading creative force in the group. Known for his introspective lyrics and emotional storytelling, Suga has written and produced over 160 songs, including many under his solo alias Agust D. Music remains the cornerstone. As part of BTS and through his solo albums 'Agust D', 'D-2', and 'D-Day', as well as a successful world tour, Suga has generated substantial revenue from album sales, streaming, and concerts. He also earns copyright royalties through his membership with the Korea Music Copyright Association, further securing his long-term financial position. Brand deals have become a significant contributor. Suga has been appointed a global ambassador for Valentino, leading its Maison Valentino Essentials campaign. He also partnered with the NBA as a global ambassador, tapping into his long-time passion for basketball. Suga's collaborations with artists such as PSY, IU, and Halsey have broadened his international appeal and brought in additional revenue. His taste for luxury is evident. He owns a Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy SUV, and his Seoul apartment in UN Village, one of the city's most exclusive neighbourhoods, is valued at approximately $3 million. The gated community is often dubbed 'Seoul's Beverly Hills' and houses several Korean celebrities. Suga is also known for his luxury watch collection, which includes a Rolex Datejust 36 worth $10,000 and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding priced around $17,750. His sneaker collection, featuring limited edition Air Jordans and collaborations with Travis Scott, adds flair to his public image, especially during NBA appearances. Though his journey has not been without controversy—most notably a drink-driving incident in 2024 and a previous issue over music sampling—Suga's public apologies and continued fan support have sustained his standing. With his military service nearing completion, all eyes are on what the multitalented artist will do next. He recently took a break from his social service and attended his fellow band-member J-Hope's 'Hope on the Stage' concert. Whether returning with BTS or exploring further solo ventures, Suga's wealth, work ethic, and cultural influence put him firmly in the league of global music elites.

BTS Reunion 2025: Why SUGA Served As Social Worker While Others Joined Combat Duty In Military
Last Updated: With SUGA's return imminent and March 2026 firmly on the horizon, ARMY can finally look forward to seeing BTS reunited on stage once again. BTS fans around the world are preparing for SUGA's military discharge, marking the end of an era and setting the stage for BTS' highly anticipated comeback. Following Jin, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, SUGA is now the final member of BTS to complete his mandatory military service. In a post shared on WeVerse, BTS' label Big Hit Music announced, 'We are excited to bring you the news of SUGA's upcoming Social Work discharge. SUGA is close to completing his service as a Social Work Personnel and will soon be discharged." The label also urged fans to refrain from visiting the discharge site, citing safety concerns, and encouraged them to send their support through heartfelt messages instead. 'No special events are planned on the day of SUGA's discharge. Overcrowding can pose safety risks, and we sincerely request our fans not to visit the sites in person," Big Hit stated. 'Please convey your warm regards and encouragement in your hearts." Due to ongoing health concerns, including surgeries on his shoulder and ear, Suga was reportedly deemed 'unfit for regular combat duty" and was assigned a less physically demanding role in the South Korean military. Rather than serving on the front lines in the event of a conflict, he contributed in an alternative capacity. Following the conclusion of his Agust D world tour on August 7, 2023, Suga officially began his mandatory military service as a social service agent on September 22, 2023. This announcement comes hot on the heels of multiple reports indicating BTS is planning a full group comeback in March 2026. The Korea Herald cited a HYBE official confirming the timeline, which would mark almost four years since the group announced a hiatus to fulfill military obligations and focus on solo projects. J-Hope, who completed his service in October 2024, reflected on the transformative journey in an interview with Rolling Stone: 'The thoughts I had during those times have become an inseparable part of me… They have influenced the stories I tell, the music I aspire to create." As excitement builds, longtime BTS producer Pdogg spoke about the process behind the group's music. 'I communicate directly with the members as their tracks and albums often center around their personal stories," he told Rolling Stone. 'I spend a lot of time talking to each member and communicating about what they're thinking." However, producer Slow Rabbit, a regular collaborator, confirmed he won't be involved in the upcoming BTS album. 'I am also looking forward to BTS' comeback, but I will be focusing on my role as the main producer for TOMORROW X TOGETHER," he said. With SUGA's return imminent and March 2026 firmly on the horizon, ARMY can finally look forward to seeing BTS reunited on stage once again. First Published:
