BTS 12th anniversary: Why Suga’s emotional return means so much to ARMY — and other OT7 surprises at J-Hope's show

BTS’s Suga made an appearance, completing the family reunion at J-Hope’s concert. Jungkook took the stage to perform, while RM, Jimin, V, and Suga were spotted dancing, cheering, laughing, and pulling playful pranks on each other. One standout moment: Jin sneakily pulled out a chair just as V was about to sit, classic BTS chaos. So much for V's nonchalance of 'not tolerating any nonsense'.

Moreover, it was special, because fans weren't sure whether they would see Suga, but they did. They got to see him excitedly bopping his head to the songs, and all the members cheering on their famous Mic Drop. They also got to see touch his heart, when the band's famous Spring Day played.

They haven't heard from him since 2023, ever since he left for military service. Earlier in the day, he shared how much he missed and loved them. That OT7 selfie is yet to drop.

As part of the FESTA' celebrations, he said in his message, "Hello, this is Suga. I feel like it's been so long since I got to greet you. ARMY, have you been doing well? I've been spending my time, waiting for the day, I get to see you again. I miss you so much. I love you, everyone."

Needless to say, this sent a flood of emotions across the fandom, with many tweeting, "He came home. He visited the cafe again, this is his way of letting us know he is here!" Others noted, "When was the last time, we heard his laugh?"

The surprises aren't over yet: J-Hope has just released his new song, Killin It Girl too; and more is awaited. Perhaps, the best gift for ARMY is to just wake up and see content from their members, just like it was in 2022. The concert is on, fans are exciting and the timeline looks purple again.
