BIGBANG joins Korea's space ambitions as 1st KASA ambassadors

Veteran K-pop group BIGBANG has been appointed as the first public relations ambassadors for Korea's burgeoning aerospace industry by the Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) on Friday. KASA aims to boost public interest in the nation's space and aviation initiatives and make its goals and projects more accessible to the public through the ambassadors.

This appointment comes as Korea gears up for the fifth launch of its Nuri space rocket and advances plans for lunar exploration, providing BIGBANG with the opportunity to bring these endeavors closer to the public through various communication activities, including the Dream Capsule project. The Dream Capsule project involves collecting the public's dreams and messages of support, which will be sent into space aboard the fifth Nuri launch, scheduled for the second half of this year.

KASA believes this project will give the launch a more personal dimension, transforming a technical milestone into a shared national event. BIGBANG expressed their excitement about being invited to participate in this meaningful endeavor.
