Suga Reportedly Among Early SpaceX Investors Before NYSE Listing
BTS's Suga is reportedly an early investor in SpaceX through a South Korean investment firm, holding shares since the company's pre-listing stage. HYBE declined to confirm details about individual members' investments.

Following BTS's recent chart achievements, reports emerged that Suga participated in an early investment round in SpaceX.
According to Edaily on June 29th, Suga invested in SpaceX during its pre-listing phase through Link Asset Partners, a South Korean investment institution that was the first domestic firm to back the aerospace company. An industry insider told the outlet that while the exact investment amount remains unconfirmed, Suga is believed to still hold shares in the company.
The timing offers perspective on the investment's potential growth. SpaceX's valuation stood at approximately $46 billion in 2020, before climbing to roughly $100 billion by 2021 following major funding rounds. This week, SpaceX went public on the New York Stock Exchange on June 12th, opening with a market capitalization of about $1.77 trillion based on an offering price of $135 per share.
When asked about Suga's involvement, HYBE kept details close to the vest. "We cannot confirm matters related to individual artists' investments," the label stated, effectively neither confirming nor denying the report.
The news adds another layer to understanding how BTS members manage their finances beyond music. Given the massive returns potential from early-stage SpaceX investment—particularly if Suga held shares through the company's explosive valuation growth—the investment represents a savvy financial move by the artist.
This revelation comes as BTS continues their strong 2026 run. Just yesterday, the group earned their 13th UK BRIT Silver certification with their latest track "SWIM," cementing their status as one of the most commercially successful acts in the British market.
Suga's investment portfolio interests follow similar revelations about other entertainment figures diversifying beyond their primary careers. While HYBE's refusal to comment prevents full confirmation, the report from Edaily and industry sources provides credible detail about Suga's early involvement in one of the world's most valuable private companies.
