SUGA debuts new haircut before military enlistment and bids fans heartfelt goodbye
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.”

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.”
