G-Dragon Becomes the First Korean Artist to Send Music to Space, Following The Beatles

Kapanlagi.com - G-Dragon has just made history as the first Korean artist to send music and a music video (MV) to space, following in the footsteps of The Beatles, who previously did the same. On April 9, 2025, G-Dragon collaborated with KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) to launch this project, using advanced technology from Azure OpenAI’s Sora provided by the Microsoft Azure platform. This is a significant step that combines the worlds of music, space technology, and artificial intelligence.

G-Dragon, who is also a guest professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST, aims to bridge the worlds of space science and entertainment. Through this project, G-Dragon hopes to pave the way for the development of entertainment technology in the future. This project is also related to NASA's SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) initiative, which previously sent The Beatles' music into space.

G-Dragon is now part of this historic project, making him the first artist from Korea to send his work into space, while also taking K-pop music further. Here are the step-by-step details of this unique project.
