According to YG Entertainment on August 14, BIGBANG (G-Dragon, Taeyang, Daesung) has been appointed as the first promotional ambassador of the Korea Aerospace Administration (KASA).
In the coming time, BIGBANG will help the public easily access the future vision and important policies of Korea in the field of aerospace, and play the role of a connecting partner with the public, accompanying the journey to make Korea a space power.
This is the first time KASA has appointed a promotion ambassador since this agency was established in 2024. With BIGBANG's global influence, the group is expected to contribute to expanding public interest and consensus for the aerospace field.
A representative of KASA said: "To join people in creating new challenges for the Korean aerospace industry, we have appointed BIGBANG as a promotion ambassador. In the near future, we will work with BIGBANG to implement many different exchange activities to expand public interest and participation in the aerospace field.
The name of the group BIGBANG, meaning "Big Bang" – the event of the birth of the universe – also adds a special symbolic meaning to this collaboration.
In particular, the group's 20th anniversary tour, "BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR", also takes space as the theme. Therefore, BIGBANG's 20-year journey and the new journey of the Korean aerospace industry have a natural connection.
BIGBANG will participate in a public program called "Dream Capsule", associated with important projects of KASA. This is a program that any citizen can participate in, in which BIGBANG will play a role in connecting the public with the universe.
Within the framework of the program, at 10 am on August 14, BIGBANG opened a special website to celebrate its 20th anniversary of launch, receiving memories and messages sent to the group from V.I.P (BIGBANG fan community) around the world. Fans' messages will be converted into encoded images inspired by "Arecibo Message", then uploaded to Nuriho No. 5 and launched into space.
Debuting in 2006, BIGBANG is one of the typical K-pop groups, having created many hit songs, affirming the musical color and unique style.
The group has made many unprecedented achievements in the global music market thanks to their outstanding music production ability and overwhelming performances. The members have also achieved many successes as solo artists.
At 6 PM on August 19, BIGBANG will release their new digital single "BiiiG" and begin their 20th anniversary tour "BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR ".
The tour will kick off with performances at Goyang Stadium from August 21-23, then continue with a total of 33 shows in 19 cities in North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia.
In particular, BIGBANG is expected to bring the "XX : COSMOS" concert to My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi, with two performance nights on October 24 and 25. This is the first time BIGBANG has returned to Vietnam after 9 years as a group.
