On March 13, 2025, Forbes reported that BTS’ SUGA is back on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart. His track Moonlight has re-entered at No. 8 on the latest 10-position ranking. Min Yoongi has been off the music scene for over a year. Just like other BTS members, SUGA is also currently serving in the military.

His latest album, D-Day, came out in 2023 — two years ago now. His service has paused his solo releases, but ARMYs continue to revisit his existing discography.

Fans reacted to the Bangtan Boy's latest achievement, with one X user commenting:

"Even in silence.🤭 i miss him so much."

Moonlight originally debuted and peaked at No. 5 on the World Digital Song Sales chart years ago and has now reappeared for the second time. This week, it is the only comeback track on the 10-position chart. While the list includes three new entries, no other previously charted songs have returned.

The track debuted on SUGA’s 2020 mixtape D-2 as its opening song. It was later included in his April 2023 solo album D-Day under the name Agust D. However, it didn’t achieve major chart positions.

SUGA releases solo music under the name Agust D. However, he doesn't use this name when performing with BTS, which separates his solo work from his group projects. Fans continue to engage with the song's success.

"A king will be charting with or without a new release," a fan remarked.
"AgustD on top. That’s how you know he’s the king of longevity in music with so many recent releases this year but still getting mentioned," a user mentioned.
