Reports Claim BTS' Suga Invested Early in SpaceX; HYBE Declines CommentPreviousNext

Reports suggest BTS member Suga invested in SpaceX before its public listing through Link Asset Partners, the first South Korean institutional investor in the company. The exact investment amount remains undisclosed, but sources indicate he still holds shares and may have seen significant returns. SpaceX's valuation rose from about $46 billion in 2020 to approximately $1.77 trillion at its June 2023 Nasdaq debut. HYBE, Suga's agency, has declined to confirm or deny these reports, and neither Suga nor Link Asset Partners have commented publicly.
