(Frazer Harrison, Getty Images for The Recording Academy/TNS)(Tribune News Service) — BTS star Suga will begin his mandatory military service in South Korea, and it seems the group’s dedicated ARMY fan base may need to give him some space. Bighit Music, the group’s label, said announced in a news release Monday that Suga — the second eldest BTS member — will begin his “required service” on Friday. Fans have previously gathered at military bases to see off BTS members. South Korean law requires all able-bodied men to complete about 18 months of military service between the ages of 18 and 35. Bighit Music announced in October 2022 that BTS members would be joining the army.
