It’s official almost. Soon, all seven members of the massively popular K-pop group BTS will have completed South Korea’s mandatory military service.

Rapper Suga will be the last of the bandmates to be released on Saturday, after fulfilling his duty as a social service agent, an alternative to serving in the military that he reportedly chose due to a shoulder injury.

BTS’ entertainment agency said no events are planned for Suga’s release out of concern for overcrowding.

The six others, RM, V, Jimin, Jung Kook, Jin and j-hope, served in the army.
