BTS just finished their highly-successful virtual concert over the weekends. While ARMYs enjoyed every bit of the show, they couldn’t help but notice Suga struggling with his shoulder once again.
Suga had a shoulder injury in the past, and fans have been aware of it for years. When the BTS star was a trainee, he struggled financially and had to work part-time jobs. While working as a delivery man, Suga had an accident, and it damaged his shoulder.
But since the “Daechwita” rapper appeared to be all healed up in most of their music videos, appearances, performances, and more, ARMYs didn’t think about his shoulder injury anymore. However, there will be times that Suga would not raise his left arm while performing, making fans think that he is still in pain.
And on BTS‘s MAP OF THE SOUL ON:E online concert, ARMYs noticed that even though Suga didn’t miss a beat while performing, he couldn’t raise both of his arms. (Watch the clip here).
And when BTS did their bow in the end, Suga couldn’t stretch his arms up like the rest of the members. Jin and V seemed to be aware of this, and they didn’t force the rapper to stretch his arms. (Watch the clip here).
After the concert, ARMYs expressed their concern for Suga, and “Yoongi’s shoulder” began trending on Twitter. The rapper also posted selfies that confirmed the status of his injury.
Even though Suga was smiling in the snap, eagle-eyed ARMYs saw that he was wearing a shoulder brace underneath his shirt. (Check out the photo here).
After learning that ARMYs are worried about him, Suga left a short message during day two of BTS‘s MAP OF THE SOUL ON:E online concert to let them know that he’s okay. The 27-year-old rapper, songwriter, and record producer confirmed all speculations by admitting that his shoulder was “a bit uncomfortable during the opening performance.” Suga then assured the fans that he is feeling better, and there is nothing to worry about.
Suga also worried a lot of fans back in March when he altered the step during BTS’ “Black Swan” performance where they needed to raise both of their arms. Instead of doing so, Suga only raised his right arm while his left stayed low. (Check out the comparison clip here).
But just like in BTS‘s MAP OF THE SOUL ON:E online concert, Suga didn’t sit it out and opted to perform with the rest of his members.
