BTS Jin joins Coldplay for a surprise at final Korea concert

One thing no one can deny is the love, bond, and camaraderie that the two biggest bands in the world—BTS and Coldplay—share and have for each other. From BTS performing Fix You, to their collaboration on My Universe, and Chris Martin helping Kim Seokjin aka Jin co-write The Astronaut as his farewell song before his military enlistment, everything between the two is filled with mutual respect.

In fact, just days ago, when Coldplay began their South Korea tour, fans were treated to a special surprise when Jin joined Coldplay on stage at their concert in Seoul. Now, on the final day of their 6-day concert, after public demand, Jin returned for a memorable appearance. As expected, the two artists did not disappoint.

BTS Jin joins Coldplay as a surprise

During the fifth show, Chris Martin noticed a placard in the audience that read, "Please bring Jin back," to which he responded, "Okay, we'll do that tomorrow," sending BTS' fans called ARMY into a frenzy of excitement.

True to his word, Jin returned during the Songbook section of the show, and the crowd went wild. Jin performed The Astronaut once again with Chris, and also sang My Universe, which had the entire crowd singing together.

Coldplay's love for BTS

While Jin and Chris were preparing to perform The Astronaut, Chris said, "Well, Jin, Coldplay is leaving Korea, but soon BTS will come back, so that’s good. Everybody’s only watching our show because you guys are unavailable right now.”

ARMY couldn't help but praise Coldplay for being one of the best mentors BTS has had. Fans are now hopeful for a Coldplay collaboration on Jin's upcoming second album, Echo.

BTS RM attends Coldplay concert

While all this was happening, fans noticed that the leader of BTS, Kim Namjoon (aka RM), also attended the final concert. The rapper is still serving his time in the South Korean military and will be relieved of his duties by June 2025.

Not just RM, many fans even claimed that V, aka Kim Taehyung, was also present at the concert. This comes from the fact that Chris Martin mentioned the names of these two members before starting the My Universe performance.
