BTS member Suga / Xportsnews

Suga of BTS has reportedly emerged as an early investor in SpaceX, with industry sources estimating that his investment has generated returns of at least 20 times its original value.

According to an Edaily report published Monday, Suga invested in the private space company through Link Asset Partners, a Korean investment firm that became the first domestic institutional investor to back SpaceX before it was publicly traded.

Citing investment banking industry sources, the report said Suga continues to hold his stake and has earned "overwhelming" gains from the investment.

The report said Suga invested before 2022, estimating a conservative return of around 20 times his initial investment. If he entered around 2020, the return could be closer to 40 times, according to the report.
