On Monday, July 7, BTS' Suga was spotted at the Incheon International Airport alongside BTS' Jungkook and Jimin. The three members were departing for Los Angeles, and according to Dispatch, all the BTS members will be staying in the USA for 2 months to concentrate on their group comeback, which is scheduled to be released in Spring 2026.
However, as the idol made his way through the airport, many reporters, especially those from the South Korean media, approached the members.

BTS' Suga pens a heartfelt letter to ARMYs following military discharge
On June 21, BTS' Suga was discharged from his mandatory military service after successfully completing his enlistment as a public service worker. However, unlike the other BTS members, he didn't hold an official discharge ceremony or a Weverse livestream at HYBE headquarters.
As an alternative, he wrote a letter on Weverse to ARMYs, conveying that he had missed them during his service and is excited to meet them. Additionally, he also indirectly mentioned the DUI incident that unfolded last year. For those who are unaware, Suga was charged with DUI for riding an electric scooter while being under the influence.
The police spotted him after he fell off his scooter while making a turn towards his home. While no one was harmed during the incident, after a series of investigations, the idol had to pay a fine of 15 million KRW. Though the idol already apologized for the incident back in December, he mentioned it once more in his recent letter to ARMYs.
Here's what the letter read:
"First, above all else, I wanted to sincerely thank my fans for waiting for me until now. I really missed you. I think that over the past two years, I took time to think about myself. In particular, I also felt that I needed to temporarily distance myself and step back from the work I’d been doing for a long time."
Suga continued:
"Before, I’d only been racing forward without looking back on myself, but this time gave me the opportunity to reflect on myself once again. ARMY, thank you, and thank you again for waiting for me. Also, I apologize for disappointing you and giving you cause for concern through the incident from last year."
The idol concluded his letter by apologizing to his fans for "hurting their hearts" and conveyed that he would work even harder to repay the love that he had received.
Therefore, fans and netizens have been thrilled about the idol's return to the industry and have been eagerly awaiting BTS' comeback and other related content.
