When the footage went viral, many fans recalled that Suga suffered an accident in 2012 that dislocated his shoulder, causing him significant pain throughout his career. After years of complications, he underwent surgery in 2020.
On social media, fans discussed how such injuries can continue to cause discomfort years later, expressed concern that this injury might cause the BTS member pain again, and offered their best wishes for his health.
“Yoongi cutely stretching at Mexico soundcheck day 1 🤏
He was seen holding his left shoulder… hoping he’s doing well and not in pain 🥺”
“im trying to say this calmly but I remember when yoongi said that when his shoulder hurts he holds the mic with his right hand… he holds mic with his left so it mustn’t hurt much.. i hope so, pleeease.”
“Of course he won’t heal completely 😞 yoongi left the tearing from 2013 to 2020 he used to dance every day on it …”
“As horribly it hurts to see, Yoongi will probably always feel pain in this shoulder. Surgeries heal but don’t make miracles, and with age body only forgives less. I still feel the leg I broke as little child acting on bad weather. Yoongi had this shoulder crushed”
“He had shoulder surgery, it’s gonna ache for the rest of his life, especially after a lot of dancing. Please stop creating panic”
