Suga’s letter on Weverse
안녕하세요. 슈가입니다. 공지가 나가고 많은 분들이 걱정을 해주셔서 죄송하고 정말 감사합니다..! 정말 다행히 수술은 잘 되었고요. 지금 상태는 통증이 있지만 마음은 상당히 후련한 상태입니다. 업이 무대를 하는 사람인지라 재활과 주사로 최대한 수술만은 안 하려고 버텨봤는데 무대만 서면 다시 상태가 악화되는 상황이 계속 반복되니 저도 두렵더라고요. 그래서 네 곳의 병원 중 세 곳의 병원에서 이 정도 상태면 수술을 하는 게 좋겠다 하셔서 진행하게 되었습니다.. (진짜 고민 많이 했어요..!) 아무쪼록 당분간 스케줄을 함께 하지 못해 멤버들에게도 미안하고 아미 여러분들께도 죄송합니다. 저도 많이 아쉽네요… 최대한 빠른 회복을 위해 잠시 떨어져 있지만 금방 다시 돌아오겠습니다. 그리 길진 않을 거예요! 다시 한번 죄송하고 감사합니다 아미! _ Suga
“Hello. This is Suga. I am sorry and very grateful that the notice has gone out and many people are worried...! Fortunately, the surgery went well. I’m in pain now, but I’m quite relieved. Fortunately, the surgery went well. Since I’m a performer I tried to avoid surgery as much as possible with rehabilitation and injections, but I was afraid that my condition would get worse again and again when I was on stage. So, three of the four hospitals said that it would be better to perform surgery at this level, so I proceeded… (I really gave it a lot of thought..!) That’s why I’m doing it. I’m sorry to the members and ARMY for not being able to work with us for a while. I feel sorry for you too… I’ll be right back. I’ll be right back. It won’t be that long! I’m sorry and thank you again. ARMY!” SUGA
SUGA’s shoulder problems date back to a motorcycle accident that happened before his debut with BTS. The incident occurred during his trainee years under Big Hit Entertainment. While the injury initially seemed like a minor one, it later became a persistent source of discomfort and pain for the artist, affecting both his daily life and his performances. Despite this, SUGA continued to push through, delivering powerful performances on stage, producing music, and working hard with BTS as they climbed to the top of the global music charts. In recent years, however, the pain in his shoulder worsened, prompting the need for surgery. It was later revealed that SUGA had been suffering from a condition called a torn labrum, which refers to damage to the shoulder's cartilage. As his pain intensified, the decision was made for him to undergo surgery to prevent further complications and to improve his overall quality of life.
In November 2020, Big Hit Entertainment released an official statement confirming that SUGA had undergone surgery to repair the damage to his shoulder. They also mentioned that the decision to proceed with surgery was carefully considered after consulting medical professionals, and it was recommended to ensure SUGA’s long-term health. Following the surgery, it was announced that SUGA would be taking time off from group activities to recover, as his rehabilitation process would take some time.
In typical SUGA fashion, the rapper didn’t leave his fans in the dark for long. Shortly after the news of his surgery broke, SUGA posted a heartfelt message to ARMY, reassuring them that he was doing well and was focused on his recovery. Despite being known for his sometimes reserved and introverted personality, SUGA has always maintained a close connection with his fans, and this time was no different. On the Weverse platform, where BTS members often interact with their fans, SUGA shared an update, expressing his gratitude for the outpouring of love and support he received from ARMY around the world. He explained that while he had been experiencing pain for a long time, the decision to undergo surgery was not made lightly, and he hoped that the procedure would allow him to fully heal.
His reassurance immediately brought comfort to millions of ARMY members, many of whom had been concerned about his well-being. The hashtag #GetWellSoonYoongi began trending on social media shortly after the news broke, with fans expressing their love and support for the rapper, as well as their hopes for his swift recovery. SUGA’s absence from BTS activities left a noticeable void, as he is not only one of the group’s rappers but also a key producer and songwriter. His contributions to the group’s music have been pivotal in shaping BTS’s unique sound and lyrical depth, often drawing from his own experiences to create powerful songs that resonate with fans worldwide.
However, BTS and ARMY have always been a close-knit family, and the remaining six members of BTS have rallied around SUGA during his recovery period. During BTS’s promotions for their BE album, SUGA’s absence was felt, but the members frequently mentioned him in interviews and performances, reminding fans that he was still very much a part of the group even while resting. For example, during the group's appearance on various music shows and their virtual concerts, the remaining members made it clear that they were thinking of SUGA. They even left space for him during performances, showing solidarity and love for their injured bandmate. Despite being absent physically, SUGA’s presence was deeply felt in every BTS activity, with his influence continuing to shape their music and performances.
One of the most remarkable aspects of SUGA’s recovery period has been the unwavering support from ARMY.

It’s this honesty and vulnerability that has endeared him to millions of fans, who see him as not only a talented musician but also as a source of comfort and inspiration.
