A trip to the moon by TOP (real name Choi Seung Hyun), former member of BIGBANG, has been canceled.
“Unfortunately, the first private lunar orbit project “Dear Moon” has been canceled,” the 1st said the “Dear Moon” project on its official account, adding: “We would like to thank everyone for their support.”
“As you may have heard, the “Dear Moon” project has unfortunately been canceled,” TOP also said on its social media, adding, “I am deeply grateful to Professor Yusaku Maezawa for conceptualizing the project.” Dear Moon.”
“It was the biggest and most beautiful artistic project for the development of humanity that no one in the world could have imagined, and the courage to attempt this mission was a truly extraordinary step,” he said, promising to follow him.
“Being selected as a member of the crew of “Dear Moon” is one of the greatest honors of my life. As a Korean artist, this experience has deeply affected my life and the music I make. My body and my soul, connected to the moon and space, have already inspired me to compose a lot of new music, and I can’t wait to share some of them soon.” said T.O.P.
“Dear Moon” is a lunar tour project of SpaceX, an American space exploration company founded by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. It was planned and financed by Japanese businessman Yusaku Maezawa. When TOP’s arrival in 2022 became known, it attracted a lot of attention. Eight crew members, including TOP, were scheduled to orbit the Moon for about seven days aboard a spacecraft developed by SpaceX. Its launch was planned for the end of 2023, but has been postponed.
