BIGBANG’s T.O.P is reportedly traveling to outer space with Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa in 2023.
The 35-year-old K-pop star will be one of eight people participating in the project #dearmoon, which is spearheaded by Maezawa and Elon Musk’s SpaceX, according to reports.
First announced in 2018, the ambitious project aims to send accomplished individuals from around the globe to outer space. Maezawa is reportedly funding the artists’ six-day trip next year.
In September, Maezawa posted a photo of him with T.O.P and South Korean actor Lee Byung Hun on Twitter.
On Monday, the Japanese billionaire tweeted about a meeting with Musk and an upcoming “major announcement,” writing, “Online meeting with Elon @elonmusk is done. I can make a major announcement about space around the noon of December 8, PST. It’s another new announcement on the anniversary of exactly one year since the day I went to ISS last year.”
