Despite being on sabbatical, K-pop boyband BTS continues to set records. NASA has chosen three of their songs for their forthcoming lunar expedition. Some of the band's members, including RM, are absent from the music scene owing to required military service. 

However, the 29-year-old South Korean rapper has made history yet again by including his solo tune Moonchild in NASA's The Moon Tunes Playlist.

In addition to Kim Nam-joon, a.k.a. RM's solo tune Moonchild, the space agency has chosen two BTS songs with a space theme. BTS' Mikrokosmos and 134340 will be in the Moon Tunes Playlist.
