BTS' 'Dynamite' 1st K-pop song to be played in space, fans joke: 'Aliens will be blessed'

South Korea is the next country to expand space exploration by sending a lunar orbiter to space to look for extraterrestrial life

Fans already knew that BTS is taking over the world but it looks like they might now even branch out further. On May 17, it was announced that South Korea was working on its space program to further expand its reach in space with its lunar exploration project – Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO). The country is going all out for its latest project as it will be using SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket to launch the orbiter in space.

Taking the next step in space exploration for South Korea, the KPLO is set to go into space on August 1 and is expected to reach the moon’s orbit by January. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute and NASA plan to have the KPLO orbit the moon for a year and collect data with the help of cameras and spectrometers to study the moon’s surface. But it is the next task that has caught the attention of K-pop fans. KPLO also aims to reach out in space with deep-space communication technology to gauge extraterrestrial life. And one of the ways that it will be doing this is by playing BTS’ ‘Dynamite’.
