During the live session, Suga introduced the cat as Tang, explaining that the name is derived from the Korean word 설탕/seoltang which translates to “Sugar” in English.

Addressing fans, he said, “Everyone, it’s cold, please take care of your health. In the near future, I’ll come back again.” The brief but personal message was widely shared by fans, many of whom described the broadcast as emotional after his extended absence.

Suga began his alternative military service on September 22, 2023, and completed his mandatory duties in June this year. His return comes as BTS members conclude their enlistments, bringing the group closer to a full reunion after more than two and a half years.

Suga’s unexpected live appearance has further fuelled anticipation among the BTS ARMY, as fans look ahead to the group’s next chapter following their long hiatus.
