Because Min Yoongi doesn’t know how to rest, apparently.
While some artists are out here debating which brand deal to accept next, Suga is reportedly investing in a Major League Baseball team. Yes, you read that correctly. Suga. Of BTS. Is looking to buy into the Oakland Athletics. Because producing hits, selling out world tours, dropping critically acclaimed albums, and redefining live performance standards clearly wasn’t enough for him.
According to reports, Suga and Korean baseball legend Park Chan Ho are teaming up, working with a South Korean company to potentially acquire a stake in the Athletics, who are planning to relocate from Oakland to Las Vegas in 2028.
If you didn’t know, Suga is a massive baseball fan, having grown up loving the sport and even dreaming of becoming a baseball player before music claimed him (thank you, destiny). This move feels less like a flex and more like Yoongi living his best life while building generational wealth and supporting the sport he loves.
And let’s be real: Suga getting involved in sports investments is peak “quietly taking over the world” energy. He’s not here for flashy social media stunts or loud bragging. He’s making moves that secure his future and reflect his genuine passions, all while maintaining that calm, savage aura that screams, “I know exactly what I’m doing.”
ARMYs, naturally, are losing it—in the best way. The timeline is filled with, “Investor Yoongi,” “CEO Yoongi,” and “MLB owner Yoongi” edits because, of course, we will hype our king in his billionaire era. It’s also a beautiful reminder that BTS’s impact goes beyond stages and music charts. They are expanding into cultural, business, and now sports spheres, taking their influence global in the most organic, meaningful ways.
And while this potential deal is still in its early stages, it’s clear that if anyone is going to make baseball cool for Gen Z and bring a wave of global attention to the Athletics, it’s Min Yoongi, the man who can sell out a world tour while doing sound checks in a hoodie and sipping iced coffee.
It’s also worth noting that the Athletics’ move to Las Vegas is a huge shift for MLB, and having a global star like Suga tied to the team could open doors for K-pop fans to get into baseball and for MLB to see an influx of international attention. Let’s be honest: if Yoongi shows up at a game, ARMYs will fill the stadium, lightsticks in hand, ready to support his newest adventure.
So here’s to Suga, who keeps proving that there’s no box he can be placed in, no industry he can’t touch, and no dream too big for him to chase. From Daegu to the world, to MLB stadiums—this is the kind of legacy we love to see.
Investor Yoongi era? We’re here for it.
