There may be more trouble on the horizon for embattled BTS member Suga. The idol is facing an investigation by the Korean military, according to recent news. The investigation is said to be related to issues concerning his ongoing military service, though specific details remain unclear.
Suga began his mandatory military service in September 2023. He was ruled unfit for regular combat duty due to a shoulder injury he sustained in 2020, and began serving as a social service agent. According to reports, the investigation will focus on whether Suga has committed any violations, or was given any preferential treatment during his service.
This development has caused significant concern among fans, as Suga has been an integral part of BTS’ success and continues to hold a strong influence in the global music scene.

Concerns for Suga’s military service
South Korea mandates that all able-bodied men serve for a period of time, typically between 18 and 21 months. Suga’s enlistment was closely watched by both fans and media, with many expressing support for the artist as he fulfilled this national duty.
However, the news of the investigation has introduced uncertainty, sparking a wave of speculation across social media platforms. Many have expressed concerns that this may impact his service, which is due to end sometime in mid-2025.
Fans of Suga have rallied behind him, expressing their unwavering support and hoping for a positive resolution. The specifics of the investigation are still under wraps. Currently, it is unclear how this will impact Suga’s military service or his career in the future.
Investigation into Suga’s DUI incident ongoing
This new development comes right after South Korean police announced they will continue investigating his recent DUI incident. On August 6, Suga was driving home on his electric scooter when he suffered a minor accident and fell. Police officers coming to his aid noticed the smell of alcohol on Suga’s breath. A breathalyzer test later revealed that his blood alcohol level was over the legal limit.
According to South Korean law, operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher is punishable by a fine of up to 10 million KRW or a prison sentence of up to two years.
Fans and the public will be keeping a close eye on any developments regarding Suga’s situation. This incident highlights the pressures and scrutiny that high-profile individuals face even during their military service.
