Amidst BTS member SUGA's ongoing DUI case, it seems like his best friend and producer EL CAPITXN subtly reassured fans of the former's well-being during his latest live session. Read on!

In a recent late-night live session on August 28, Jang Yi Jeong, aka EL CAPITXN, the renowned producer also dubbed as "the handsome DJ" by fans, provided a subtle but comforting gesture to BTS’ fans regarding SUGA’s well-being amidst his ongoing DUI case. During his live interaction from his recording studio, EL CAPITXN was asked by a fan to show a thumbs-up if SUGA was doing okay. With a smile, he complied, which has since been interpreted by fans as a reassuring sign of support for the BTS member.

EL CAPITXN’s supportive gesture comes at a time when SUGA, also known as Agust D, is dealing with legal complications stemming from a DUI incident on August 6. The incident occurred in Seoul's Hannam Dong area when SUGA, after a night out, was seen navigating an electric scooter and reportedly fell, prompting police assistance. His blood alcohol level at the time was reportedly 0.227%, significantly above the legal limit, leading to a criminal probe in South Korea. The situation was further complicated by conflicting media reports, but, a later CCTV footage clarified the circumstances, leading to an apology from a major K-media outlet.
In light of these developments, EL CAPITXN’s live session has been seen as a heartfelt gesture of solidarity. Fans have been vocal in their appreciation, thanking him for being a true friend and for providing a sense of reassurance during this challenging time for SUGA. They have also made efforts to ensure that EL CAPITXN’s own achievements as a producer and musician remain in the spotlight, apart from his association with SUGA.
