“Wow, there are a lot of [BTS] & RM fans! Thanks for the submissions – we’ll add “Moonchild,” “Mikrokosmos” & “134340” to the playlist!” NASA said in a tweet.
“Mikrokosmos” is a song from BTS’s latest album Map of the Soul: Persona while “134340” is from their album Love Yourself: Tear. “Moonchild,” on the other hand, is from BTS leader RM’s solo mixtape Mono.
Following the announcement, a number of ARMYs jumped into the replies to celebrate.
