On March 21, 2025, BTS member Suga, also known as Min Yoongi, was reportedly seen visiting the BTS official fan cafe, much to the delight of ARMY. Fans monitoring the fan cafe noticed that Suga’s login count had increased from 8 to 9, confirming his visit.
His brief appearance comes after months of fans expressing their longing for any update regarding his well-being during his military service. This marks his first sign of activity on a fan platform since August 6, 2024, when he shared a heartfelt apology regarding his DUI incident.
Though Min Yoongi did not leave a new post, the login itself was enough to spark excitement among ARMY. Many took to social media to share their joy, leaving messages of love and support for the artist on the fan cafe. One ARMY (BTS fandom name) wrote,
"WE GOT YOONGI UPDATE !!!!! Yoongi visited BTS fancafe again, he's checking in us.. I hope he saw all the beautiful messages from army's, how much loved he's truly & we are eagerly waiting for his come back WE LOVE YOU YOONGI WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU YOONGI."
"Yoongi logged into BTS Fan Cafe again!!! His visit changed from 8 to 9, which means he's still checking in on us. time to go leave more love for him!!" said a netizen.
"I just logged into the BTS fancafe (got a notif which shocked me but it was re an old board/post someone just posted on) BUT then decided to check logins and, idk when, but Yoongi logged onto the cafe again. Last I checked, back in Jan, he’d been online 8 times, now it’s at 9," shared an X user.

BTS' Suga maintains silence amid military service following DUI incident
BTS member Suga is currently fulfilling his mandatory military service as a public service worker due to a pre-existing shoulder injury. He began his enlistment on September 22, 2023.
While serving, Suga faced legal consequences for driving an electric scooter under the influence. On August 6, 2024, he was stopped by authorities after falling near his apartment building.
A breathalyzer test confirmed an elevated blood alcohol level, leading to his license being revoked. Suga later addressed the incident in a Weverse post, admitting he had consumed alcohol with friends before riding home, unaware of the legal implications. On September 30, 2024, a Seoul court fined him KRW 15 million ($11,500) for the offense.
Since then, Suga has remained largely out of the public eye, refraining from social media updates or appearances in BTS members’ posts and live broadcasts. While six BTS members extended New Year’s greetings to fans, Suga did not do the same. Unlike his bandmates, who occasionally updated fans with news of their military promotions or daily life, Suga chose to stay away from that too.
One of the few recent mentions of him came from j-hope on March 7, 2025. During an interview with American monthly magazine Rolling Stone, j-hope revealed that he had sought advice from Suga, offering fans a glimpse of the rapper connecting with the group.
Suga’s silence has fueled concern among fans, with many longing for any sign of how he’s doing. Others continue to wait patiently, looking forward to his comeback and seeing him active again.
Suga is scheduled to complete his mandatory service and return in June 2025, alongside fellow BTS members RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, who are also currently enlisted.
