EL CAPITXN calls SUGA his ‘unrequited love', reveals BTS member's hilarious reaction to ‘I love you' drunk text
EL CAPITXN's unrequited love for SUGA
When a fan told EL CAPITXN that they loved SUGA more than they loved him, and asked him to hug the rapper in their stead, thanking him for taking care of the star, he said, 'Every time I do it, it takes me a lot of courage to hug Yoongi because he doesn't really like such actions (skinship). He's not fond of being touched by others. So, I'd have to muster up the courage to hug him each time. One time when I was drunk, I sent him a text message saying: 'Yoongi, I love you' but I didn't get a good response," breaking into a fit of laughter.
Adding how his one-sided love for the BTS star was tough, he made a remark, 'That's how life is, isn't it?' Same-aged friends, EL CAPITXN, even joined SUGA on his D-DAY tour as a DJ, where he had the opportunity to showcase his skills and declare his love, a sight deeply enjoyed by fans.
EL CAPITXN, being an in-house producer at HYBE, has credits in many songs of BTS, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ENHYPEN, and SEVENTEEN as well as outside artists including SUNMI, Eric Nam, PLAVE, tripleS, NCT U, BAEKHYUN, ZEROBASEONE, ARTMS, Doyoung, UNIS, STAY C, Jung Yong Hwa, Paul Kim, NOWZ, WHIB, BEWAVE, and Melody Day. Recently, he was also involved in the creation of the group AHOF, for which he has written multiple songs. Notably, he has also contributed in many tracks for SUGA, including Daechwita, Life Goes On and more on his D-2 and D-Day albums.

Not Jungkook or V, this BTS star alone powered HYBE's 85% North American revenue boost in Q1 2025
All seven BTS members reunited in June 2025 after wrapping up their mandatory military service. With each member now focused on solo careers, HYBE has been raking in profits from individual projects too, reporting a massive 133.25 billion KRW in Q1 2025 alone. Surprisingly though, this time the surge wasn't driven by names like like Kim Taehyung or Jeon Jungkook, who usually enjoy massive solo fandom in the West. It was J-Hope who stole the spotlight, his sold-out concerts pushing his popularity through the roof. J-Hope aka Jung Hoseok, the rapper of the seven member boy band, recently wrapped up his first world tour HOPE ON THE STAGE. According to Meritz Securities, his concerts played a huge role in helping HYBE record a massive 85.7% revenue jump in North America in the first quarter of 2025. According to a July 28 report, HYBE earned 133.25 billion KRW (about $102 million) during this period, one of the company's biggest quarterly spikes in recent years.

His musical setlist includes a mix of his old and new songs, alongside some of BTS' hits. The 31-year-old had released his solo album back in 2022 titled Jack in the Box, with lead tracks like 'Arson' and 'More'. In the meantime, he also collaborated with J. Cole for 'On the Street'. After returning from the military, he released 'Mona Lisa,' which was previewed during his tour, and more recently 'Sweet Dreams (feat. Miguel),' with both songs part of his Hope on the Street Vol.1 album. Reports said ticket sales were strong in every city, proving that BTS fandom remains loyal no matter who is performing.

HYBE reported a significant 85.7% increase in revenue in North America for the first quarter of 2025, reaching 133.25 billion KRW (approx. USD 102 million).

According to a July 28 report by MTN News, this marks one of the biggest quarterly boosts for the company in recent years.

Analysts estimate that fans at U.S. concerts spent an average of USD 60 on merchandise, with about 22% of attendees making purchases. Here's how the tour wrapped up with a special BTS moment The tour officially ended on June 14 at Goyang Stadium in South Korea.
