BTS's Suga is recovering from an emergency appendectomy

BTS's Suga underwent emergency surgery on December 9 after he was reported to have appendicitis on December 8.

Suga was in Japan to complete an overseas schedule when he went to the hospital to examine a stomachache.  After it was revealed to be appendicitis, he quickly returned to Korea on December 8 and went into surgery early morning on December 9.  He is currently recovering from the appendectomy.

His agency Big Hit Entertainment told Newsen, "Suga had surgery early in the morning.  After his recovery, his progress will be monitored and then he will return to following the schedule."

It appears Suga will be unable to take part in the fan signing from December 11 to 13. While disappointing for fans, most of them undoubtedly understand that he needs time to recover and rest.  Hopefully, though, Suga will feel better soon and can greet his fans once again!
