Global K-pop group Ateez is gaining international recognition as their space-themed track “NASA” was officially selected by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) as background music for an Instagram post about the groundbreaking Artemis II mission.
The captivating single is a B-side track featured on the octet’s highly successful 13th EP, “Golden Hour: Part 4,” which was released in February. The prestigious US space agency further highlighted the song by borrowing a memorable phrase, “Shoot for the stars like,” when uploading a stunning picture of a star collection shortly after the album’s debut.
Ateez’s “Golden Hour: Part 4” demonstrated significant commercial success, spending an impressive five consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 chart and peaking at a remarkable No. 3. The mini-album also achieved a major milestone by selling over 1.5 million copies in its first week alone, solidifying Ateez’s status with their sixth million-selling album.
Meanwhile, the eight members recently concluded the Asia Pacific leg of their highly anticipated international tour, “In Your Fantasy,” with a dynamic live concert held in Bangkok last week, much to the delight of their global fanbase.
