BTS member Suga aka Yoongi has undergone a shoulder surgery. The singer has now addressed his worried fans and given them a health update, while also informing that the surgery had become absolutely necessary.
"Hello. This is Suga. After the announcement released, a lot of people worried about me and I'm sorry and really thankful..! Really thankful the surgery went well. Current state, I feel pain but I feel very relieved. As my occupation deals with performing on stage, I tried not to get the surgery and hold it with rehab and injections but as the condition repeatedly got worse every time I got on stage, I got worried," Yoongi shared in his statement.
Suga feels regretful for not being able to be there for his ARMY (fans) at the moment. "So, I decided to get surgery after hearing from three of the hospitals out of four, who said in the current state, it is recommended to get surgery... (I thought about it a lot..!) So, for the time being, I can't be on schedule. I feel sorry to my members and I feel sorry to ARMY too. It's very regretful to me also...," he shared.
Yoongi assured ARMY, "Although we will be apart for a short time being for fast recovery, I'll come back as fast as possible. It won't be too long! I apologise once again and thank you ARMY."
Previously, BTS' agency Big Hit Entertainment released a statement informing of the condition. It read, "Suga underwent surgery to repair his torn shoulder labrum on November 3. The surgery, to address a problem that had constantly been a health and wellness issue for Suga, was completed successfully, and he is currently resting and recovering following his physician's advice that Suga must undergo a strict and unhindered period of recovery."
"As many fans know, Suga has long suffered from shoulder-related health issues. His shoulder issues began when he was injured in an accident that occurred in 2012 before his debut, and he was diagnosed with a dislocated shoulder in 2013. Shoulder pains continued until he was further diagnosed in 2019 with 'posterior labral tear of his left shoulder', which means that the cartilage around his left shoulder joint has been torn. Since then, he has continued to receive various treatment to prevent his injury from affecting his activities," the statement continued.
