Fans of K-pop boy band BTS, known as ARMY, are urging Spotify and BigHit, BTS's label, to include a profile description for member Suga on his Spotify page. They have also noticed that his single "Song Request" is no longer available on Spotify, despite being featured on his profile until Wednesday (June 28).

ARMY members are known for their unwavering support for the entire group as well as individual artists. While fans requested a profile description for Suga, they noticed that only three out of the seven BTS members (RM, Jungkook, and J-Hope) have descriptions on their Spotify profiles.

Suga has a dedicated fanbase for his album "AgustD," which boasts 5.4 million monthly listeners, while his solo singles gather 5.1 million monthly listeners. However, these solo songs are still credited to his group, BTS.

Expressing their frustration, Suga's fans have taken to Twitter to call out Spotify and BigHit, requesting the addition of a profile description for Suga and the reinstatement of his single "Song Request" on his profile.

Additionally, Suga's "AgustD" album has surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify, and his profiles have accumulated a total of 2.4 billion streams, making him the most-streamed K-pop soloist on the platform.

BTS's "Proof" has achieved a remarkable milestone, surpassing 12.9 billion streams on Spotify, making it the first album by a Korean act and a group to reach this feat. Furthermore, Jungkook's "Stay Alive (Prod. SUGA of BTS)" has amassed over 236 million streams on Spotify.

Fans are also celebrating Jungkook's 25th birthday, as South Korea has officially transitioned away from the traditional age system.

Furthermore, M Countdown, a Korean platform that ranks the top 10 musicians based on sales and fan votes, will be conducting live voting today at 6:15 KST (Korean Standard Time), indicating that BTS has a strong chance of winning.
