Group EXO's Suho has completed his military service.

On February 14, Suho released a letter written by himself through his social networking service (SNS), saying, “Finally, as of today, February 14, 2022, I have canceled my call.”

Suho said, “First of all, I want to tell you that I miss EXO-L the most. Although I was away from you for a little while during my service, it was a meaningful time that allowed me to think more about EXO-L thanks to you. During the period of 1 year and 9 months, I wanted to see you and the members so much that I even held a concert in my dreams...”.

“Because of this kind of time, I wonder if the waiting time deepened our hearts just like the saying ‘if waiting is happy, it is love’, ”, he said.

In particular, Suho revealed, “From now on, we are preparing a presentation for our EXO-L.” 

In May 2020, Suho entered the Nonsan Army Training Center in South Chungcheong Province, and after receiving basic military training for four weeks, he fulfilled his military duty as a social worker.

The following is the full text of Suho's translated handwritten letter.

Hello everyone.

This is EXO's leader, Suho, Kim Junmyeon.

Finally, as of today, February 14, 2022, I have been canceled!

First of all, I want to tell you that I miss EXO-L the most. It was a meaningful time that I was able to think more about EXO-L thanks to you, although I was away from you for a bit during my service period.

During the period of 1 year and 9 months, I wanted to see you and the members so much that I even held a concert in my dreams...hehe I must have wanted to get over this time and meet you on stage as soon as possible.

Still, there were times like this, so I wonder if the waiting time deepened our hearts as I said, 'If even waiting is happy, it's love'. But now, don't fall again! Goya, if I could hold you, I would hold you tight and not let you go????

From this moment on, I am preparing a presentation for our EXO-L. I hope that it will be a gift that makes the waiting for me feel worthwhile. As we haven't seen each other in a long time, we'll see you more often now Our promise!!!!!!

We are one EXO Let's love!

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
