BTS star Suga will begin his mandatory military service in South Korea, and it seems the group's dedicated ARMY fan base may need to give him some space.

Bighit Music, the group's label, said announced in a news release Monday that Suga - the second eldest BTS member - will begin his "required service" on Friday. The label said "there will not be any official events" marking the start of his enlistment or his first day at training camp.
