South Korea's Military Service

In South Korea, military service is mandatory for all able-bodied men. It typically lasts for a little under two years. This means that by the time Suga completes his service and is discharged, Lisa, the fan who wrote the heartfelt message, might not be alive anymore.

A Message That Goes Viral

The Korean ARMY, the official fan club of BTS in Korea, noticed Lisa's post and translated it into Korean. They then shared it on Twitter, where it quickly went viral. The post started spreading across various community sites, with fans expressing their support for both Suga and Lisa.

“나는 암투병중이라당신이 돌아왔을 땐 내가 없을수도 있어요그러면 내 다음 생에 만나요다음엔 조금 더 일찍 만나요. 알겠죠마지막까지, 내 진심은 당신거예요.”
