NASA goes K-pop with Stray Kids and aespa in recent post

NASA just dropped a cosmic bombshell brilliantly referencing Stray Kids’ “Chk Chk Boom” and aespa’s “Supernova“! The Space Administration took to social media to explain how remnants of a supernova, located 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, are helping scientists understand the universe’s past.

The playful post read “Chk Chk Boom” at the beginning, referencing the bombastic feel of a supernova. Then, the post went on to mention “su-su-su-supernova,” thrilling aespa fans with the reference to their hit song. What’s more, NASA even added “#Kpop” at the end of the post, proving that they’re all about mixing their scientific purposes with some idol magic.

And guess what? NASA’s playful K-pop references didn’t go unnoticed, as fans quickly flooded the comments with excitement, approving of the references. This post mirrors a similar event from June 23, 2020, when NASA’s tweet about BTS’ Jin sparked a buzz. And that’s how science meets K-pop in the best way possible!
