Suga, 30, became the group's third member to start carrying out their military duties. The two others, Jin and J-Hope, are already performing active service at army bases.

Individuals with physical and mental issues can instead carry out their duties at non-military facilities such as welfare centers, community service centers and post offices for 21 months.
