Coldplay’s Chris Martin also gave BTS’ Jin his favorite guitar.
Coldplay collaborated with K-pop phenomenon BTS to pre-release the song My Universe and performed a unique song at Harlem’s historic Apollo Theater as part of SiriusXM and Pandora’s Small Stage Series on September 24.
Chris Martin played the song on stage with his Coldplay colleagues without BTS present since the guys had already departed to return to South Korea.
Fans observed Chris Martin attempting to sing the Korean lyrics that are part of the chorus and are performed by Jungkook as he sang the song solo on stage.
The gesture moved fans, and many BTS fans compared Chris Martin to Halsey and Max, who attempted to memorize the Korean lyrics of the BTS songs on which they worked.
Coldplay and BTS are creating an admirable bond
On September 24, hours after the song’s release, Jin of BTS released a message on the group’s official Twitter account informing fans that he had met and became friends with his hero.
Older fans may recall that all members of BTS are big Coldplay fans, but Jin made his admiration for the band extremely clear.
Jin used to keep a picture card of Chris Martin on the back of his phone, which he kept inside the phone case. Not only that, but Jin had Coldplay songs in his YouTube and Spotify playlists, demonstrating to followers how much he loved their music.
Fans were thrilled to see the collaboration of the century and watch the connection between the two significant acts of music via social media as BTS and Coldplay collaborated on My Universe.
