BTS V becomes the first Kpop idol whose name is sent to Mars aboard NASA's Mars 2020 rover mission

NASA is sending another rover to Mars next year which they named Mars 2020.

While it may be a few years until a human being sets foot on the planet, NASA is offering everyone an opportunity to send their names to our neighboring planet. People from all over the world can add their name to the growing list and get a souvenir boarding pass to Mars. 

A BTS ARMY grabbed the chance to send BTS V's real name "Kim Taehyung" as an early birthday gift to make his name memorable and known for any civilization to find on the red planet.

The rover will carry the name of "Kim Taehyung" among millions of people and is expected to launch on July 2020 from Cape Canaveral in Florida, and arrives on February 18, 2021.

Previously, fans bought a star for BTS V  and named it "December Sunshine" to celebrate his 24th birthday.

The scale of V's birthday projects became large and precedent. His name is dominating the earth, Mars, the moon, and beyond.

His influence is so great we couldn't keep it to earth alone. It goes beyond that.
