BTS, the popular K-pop band, is known for their members' special bond and the love they share for each other. However, SUGA had to remain away from group schedules during one of the times due to his shoulder surgery. However, the artist’s bandmates did not forget about him and always included him during the activities.

When the group was invited to the MNET Asian Music Awards, and they won under the category Album of the Year category, the entire group went up on the stage to accept it. However, one member was missing from the lineup, and it was SUGA. Due to his shoulder surgery, the K-pop idol remained home and focused on his recovery. Nevertheless, during the acceptance speech, one of the members, Jimin, called SUGA on the phone. 

During the call, the member expressed how grateful he was to his fans for always being beside them. Hearing his voice made the other members tear up as they missed SUGA during the group schedules. Moreover, even while performing in various venues, the members made sure to keep space for their beloved brother and friend. These various instances show how close they are to one another; they are truly ‘seven’ wherever they go.


BTS is a South Korean K-pop band comprising seven members: RM, Suga, Jin, Jimin, Jungkook, V, and J-hope. Six members, except Jin, are currently serving in the military for their mandatory enlistment.
