It was a grand night at Seol, and what made it even more special was when BTS member Jin made a special appearance during British rock band Coldplay’s concert in Seoul, marking his first public performance since completing his mandatory military service in June last year.

Coincidentally, his last stage appearance before enlistment was also with Coldplay during their 2022 concert in Argentina.

Several videos from the show surfaced online and went viral quickly. One of the clips featured Jin arriving on stage holding a poster that read, “Pick me, please. Can I sing The Astronaut with you?”
Coldplay’s lead vocalist, Chris Martin, read the poster and knelt on stage. Jin returned the gesture by kneeling as well. Later, the duo performed The Astronaut and My Universe together.
In another video, Chris and Jin had a fun conversation. The Coldplay singer said, “We are Coldplay, the second-best band in the world. BTS may be number 1, I think!”. To which, Jin replied, “Oh no! I don’t think so”.

Chris continued, “We missed you, man, you’ve been in the military, but you still look so handsome. Look at this beautiful man. Ok, my brother. Well.. two years ago, or two and a half years.” Jin said, “We performed together 2 years ago. Before I went to the military, the last performance was Coldplay. And my first concert was Coldplay.”
