How many surgeries has Suga had?
- He had emergency surgery to take out his appendix in December 2013.
Suga once revealed that when he was working in Japan in Dec. 2013, his appendix burst. He was flown back to Korea and had surgery on December 9, while hospitalized, other BTS members also visit him.
He stated that he’d been feeling ill and was in pain for a few days before he was taken to the hospital after his fever got too high.
The surgery went well and he healed completely and is doing well to this day.
His other surgery was less major.
- In 2016 Suga tripped over a door and injured his ear. He was rushed to the plastic surgeon and was told by the surgeon that he could not do any activities that could cause irritation to the injuries ear.
- In 2017 Suga has a blue tape on his knee and that tape is called kinesiology tape.
This tape is an elastic piece of cotton that helps reduce the pain, it’s used to treat pain on the body and helps the person to move freely.
During Suga’s trainee days he injured his shoulder. He was at an intersection when he crashed into a car on a motorcycle. He was working part-time as a delivery person when he broke his shoulder. He still has pain in his shoulder even now.
