Overview

  • Jin joined Coldplay on April 19, 2025, at Goyang Stadium in Seoul, performing 'The Astronaut' and 'My Universe' with Chris Martin in a heartfelt reunion.
  • This surprise appearance was Jin’s first live performance since completing mandatory military service in June 2024, creating a full-circle moment as his last stage before enlistment was also with Coldplay in 2022.
  • Chris Martin and Jin exchanged bows on stage as a gesture of mutual respect, with Martin jokingly calling BTS 'the best band in the world' and Coldplay 'second-best.'
  • The concert is part of Coldplay’s six-night record-breaking Korean leg of their Music of the Spheres world tour, expected to draw 300,000 attendees—the highest ever for a foreign act in South Korea.
