BIGBANG Reaches for the Stars as KASA’s First Honorary Ambassadors!
BIGBANG, the legendary K-Pop group, is officially reaching for the stars! The iconic act has been appointed as the first-ever honorary ambassadors for the Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA), marking a groundbreaking partnership that will promote Korea’s ambitious space vision to the world.
A Cosmic Connection: Why BIGBANG for KASA?
According to YG Entertainment’s announcement on the 14th, this historic appointment means BIGBANG will serve as a vital public communication partner, introducing KASA’s future vision and major aerospace policies to a broader audience. This is an incredibly special moment, as BIGBANG is the very first ambassador selected since KASA’s launch in 2024. With their unparalleled global influence, the group is perfectly positioned to ignite public interest and foster empathy for aerospace exploration across all generations and borders.
KASA expressed their excitement, stating, “We appointed BIGBANG as ambassadors to create new challenges for Korea’s aerospace together with the public.” They added, “Going forward, through various communication activities with BIGBANG, we will expand the public’s interest and participation in aerospace.”
The symbolism doesn’t end there! The group’s very name, ‘BIGBANG,’ which refers to the birth of the universe, adds an extra layer of cosmic significance to this partnership. Furthermore, their highly anticipated 20th debut anniversary world tour, ‘BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR < XX : COSMOS >,’ is also themed around space. This creates a powerful and natural interweaving of BIGBANG’s two-decade-long narrative with Korea’s exciting new journey into the stars.
V.I.P, Send Your Messages to Space with ‘Dream Capsule’!
Fans, get ready to be part of this cosmic adventure! BIGBANG will be actively participating in ‘Dream Capsule,’ a public participation program linked to major aerospace projects. This program invites everyone to connect with space, and as KASA ambassadors, BIGBANG will be at the forefront. As part of this, at 10 AM that day, they opened a special 20th debut anniversary microsite, inviting V.I.P (BIGBANG’s beloved fandom) from around the globe to share their cherished memories and messages. These heartfelt fan messages will undergo a transformation, converting into unique code images inspired by the famous ‘Arecibo message,’ and are set to be launched into space aboard the Nuri rocket No. 5! This initiative promises not just a special participatory experience for fans but aims to significantly boost public interest and engagement in Korea’s monumental space challenge.
New Music & Global Tour On The Horizon
And that’s not all the excitement brewing! BIGBANG is also gearing up for the release of their new digital single [BiiiG] on the 19th at 6 PM. This release will kick off their spectacular 20th-anniversary world tour, ‘BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR < XX : COSMOS >.’ The grand journey begins with electrifying performances at Goyang Sports Complex from the 21st to the 23rd, followed by an epic schedule of 33 shows across 19 cities worldwide, spanning North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia.
