The famed South Korean composer and producer, EL CAPITXN, is reportedly planning to shift his focus on his talent agency, Vendors Production. EL CAPITXN will take a more active role in his agency, where he will now supervise and manage K-pop artists.
He would be in charge of managing emerging artists and monitoring record creation for them as they're sometimes overlooked in the highly competitive K-pop industry. Although his agency has existed for over 5 years now, the producer hasn't been its active part until now.

Most of the agency's attention is on composers and its operations aim to be diversified into more categories of music shortly. The agency has been involved in the development of significant albums, such as Sunmi's Noir, and That That (which features SUGA).
Vendors Production also composed and arranged Aphrodite by MAMAMOO's Wheein. Recently, they have also composed and arranged the first part of the soundtrack for the popular TV series Lovely Runner, as well as TripleS' most recent album, ASSEMBLE 24.
