Suga said that in that time the group would have a break of two and a half years to complete their whole military service; however, no one expected the COVID-19 pandemic to last as long as it actually did, and for that reason they did not enlist in November 2020.
For their part, on social networks, many fans have commented about how different it would be if the boys had enlisted before, due to how many fans around the world discovered the group in these days for their hit songs ‘Dynamite’ (2020), ‘Butter’ (2021), and ‘Permission to Dance’ (2021), and the achievements they got that led them to be a global phenomenon.
it must have been such a frustrating thing to see their plans destroyed but i’m so glad they stayed as i only found them when i needed them most bc they were here…the thought of them not being in my life is terrifying and i can’t thank them enough for that choice to be with us https://t.co/ziL7i5Na28
