BIGBANG T.O.P is bound to make another history!

BIGBANG Top Rumored To Go To Space In 2013 – 2 Hints You Probably Overlooked

According to the Korean media outlet E-Daily report on December 6, BIGBANG T.O.P is one of the prospective artists who will be joining the space travel project, "dearMoon" by Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa.

In particular, Yusaku Maezawa drew attention by announcing through the "dearMoon" project in 2018 that he would be the first commercial passenger to board Elon Musk's SpaceX spacecraft and tour the moon.

Based on the report, one hint that was dropped teasing T.O.P's travel to space was when the Japanese billionaire flaunted his constant friendship with the K-pop idol on social media. In September, the two celebrities along with veteran actor Lee Byung Hun showed off their close relationship by uploading a photo of them posing with hearts.

Due to this, it was claimed that the two were considered strong participants who will join the "dearMoon" project. Among them, T.O.P. is reported to have been selected as the space exploration partner of Yusaku Maezawa.

When the news was dropped, fans reacted positively to it, conveying how amazed they are with how vast BIGBANG T.O.P's connection is. Aside from his impact on the music scene, the idol is also influential in terms of the fashion scene, business world and art industry. Now, T.O.P is set to embark on space in 2023.

K-pop fans and internet users then looked back at the singer's individual concept photo when the group released their latest digital single, "Still Life" in April.

In the photo, T.O.P represented winter in their "four seasons" concept, but looking closely, the photo seemed to be filmed in space. In the MV, it was then revealed that was indeed in space and was seen looking at the Earth while standing in a place filled with snow.

People are assuming that it was actually a hint from the idol himself, teasing fans about his future plan.

If the report is true, BIGBANG T.O.P will make new history as the first K-pop idol and Korean celebrity to challenge space travel.

Meanwhile, the "dearMoon" project was first announced in 2018 and was described as the first-ever civilian mission to the Moon, set to be fulfilled in 2023.

It was revealed ahead that the participants were selected based on talented and influential people across the globe that could positively contribute to the human race.

It was also emphasized that "dearMoon" is not a space trip like a tourist tour, but a project to realize peace through art, leaving inspiration from taking artists into space and looking at the Earth from space.

Maezawa Yusaku pledged to pay for the travel expenses of the eight selected artists. In return, the participating artists should be able to grow significantly through space travel, help humanity and society, and support their "passengers."

On the other hand, Yusaku Maezawa is the founder of the e-commerce company Start Today and the founder of ZozoTown, one of Japan's largest online shopping malls. He's also called the "Elon Musk" of Japan, who drew attention last year when he won a bid for $162,500 (about 180 million won) for the costume BTS wore in the music video of "Dynamite."
