Coldplay continues to win over BTS ARMY with their heartfelt admiration, love, and deep respect for Jin, the eldest member of BTS. On Saturday, April 19, fans were delighted by an emotional surprise reunion between Jin and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, two years after they first shared the stage during Coldplay’s 2022 concert in Argentina.
The band offered fans a rare behind-the-scenes look at this significant moment, sharing a joint Instagram post with Jin, 32, on Monday, April 21. The post featured a series of intimate photos from their reunion, which marked a full-circle moment in their friendship.
The cover image of the post captured Jin—whose full name is Kim Seok-jin—and Chris, 48, rehearsing together at Goyang Stadium. Dressed in a brown shirt layered under a rainproof transparent jacket and relaxed baggy pants, Jin appeared completely at ease and in his element as he rehearsed alongside Chris.
Among the photos, one especially touching image showed Jin just before stepping on stage, holding a sign that read, “My bro, can I sing The Astronaut with you?” and “Pick me pls.” This heartfelt, playful gesture was followed by Jin joining Chris on stage to perform The Astronaut and The Universe, with Chris offering a respectful bow before their duet.
Fans quickly flooded the comment section, expressing their gratitude and admiration for Coldplay’s continued affection toward Jin. One comment read, “Seeing Chris welcome him with so much love, the deep respect for BTS still so alive, and the genuine affection Jin has for this friendship… it was truly moving.”
This reunion was even more meaningful as it marked Jin’s final performance with Coldplay before his military enlistment, and now, two years later, his first stage appearance following his service is once again with the same band. Fans are particularly touched by this full-circle moment, further solidifying the deep bond between Coldplay and BTS.
