Seventeen The First K-Pop Group To Launch Something Into Space!
One specific part of the fun-filled, colorful music video that many were wondering about was the scene of the custom microphone in space. Was it real?! Was it fake?! Carats were not kept waiting for the answer, as there was a special surprise of an answer provided by the company that made it all happen.
Music Video Production
The production company that worked with HYBE on the “God of Music” music video, Korean production company SL8, collaborated with the company SentIntoSpace, the leading provider of launches into “near space”, in order to launch their microphone and film it for the music video.
The studded, disco-ball-looking microphone, the only item that was not CGI in the space scene, was launched 113,000 feet in the air touching the edge of “near space”! This makes Seventeen the first ever K-pop group to launch anything into space!
More Record Breaking Moments
This comeback Seventeen has had great success, attaining record-breaking achievements. Their new album garnered 5.2 million pre-order sales, specifically 5,206,718 units, beating their previous record of 4.67 million pre-order sales held by the group for their 10th EP, “FML”. The 13-member group’s present record beat the previous record of 5.13 million pre-order sales held by the five-member group Stray Kids. This makes the album the most pre-ordered album in the history of the k-pop industry.
