While details about their roles in the video are still under wraps, the news has sparked a wave of excitement among fans.

Jin and Chris Martin's artistic connection is well known among the fans of the British band and ARMY. In 2022, Coldplay wrote and produced The Astronaut for Jin, which became one of his most personal solo releases. The two also performed the song live together during Coldplay's concerts in Seoul. Long before that, BTS and Coldplay teamed up for My Universe in 2021, solidifying their musical bond.
Jin's appearances at Coldplay's shows and his ongoing friendship with Martin have only deepened fans' appreciation for their collaborations. With Chris now possibly appearing in Jin's new video, it feels like another chapter in their creative journey.

Ahead of BTS' much-anticipated reunion, Seoul goes bright purple with fan tributes; take a look
The city of Seoul has always pulsed with the rhythm of K-pop, and this June, it beats to the heart of seven brothers coming home. As BTS nears its long-awaited reunion, the streets of South Korea's capital have become a living love letter from ARMY to their idols. Towering banners flutter from rooftops, subway stations glow with purple hues, and the city breathes a message loud enough for the world to hear: 'BTS IS BACK.' Seoul's skyline is now dotted with tributes — some sleek and commercial, others handmade with glitter and heart. According to the numerous tweets and posts on social media, it's hard to take a walk through the city without seeing the band's smiling faces or a heartfelt slogan declaring things like: Golden Return, Jungkook, Jimin Is Back, and more. Even HYBE couldn't resist the energy. The label added its own seismic message: 'We Are Back.' Just three words that sent fan communities into joyful chaos. Another event looming on the horizon is BTS FESTA — an annual celebration that, this year, feels more like a resurrection. Set for June 13 and 14 at the KINTEX Exhibition Centre 2 in Goyang, the festival also happens to fall on the group's 12th anniversary. While no live member appearances have been confirmed, fans are reading between every line, every post, every beat. The official theme? Twelve O'Clock, drawn from BTS' popular ballad Zero O'Clock — a song about endings, beginnings, and the silent moment when everything resets. RM and V are due to return on June 10. Jimin and Jungkook will follow on June 11. And though SUGA's discharge on June 21 comes a little later, fans are already weaving him into the celebration.

Chris Martin is still a Dakota Johnson despite alleged breakup: And we've got proof!
8 years together, has to count for something. And Chris Martin is making sure the message comes through. The Coldplay front man, at the end of the band's Las Vegas concert, held last weekend, signed off with love — save for a little Hollywood twist at the end. Chris said, "Thank you, everybody! Be kind to each other!" — and the parting shot that's got the internet buzzing?: "Don't forget to go see Materialists!". And by buzzing, we mean, little, ache-y floodgates of emotions opening up from fans. Comments expressing this read, "This one makes me sad. I was rooting for them", "Awhn… I loved them together" and "Good for him! He's a class act.", to quote a few. Dakota, 35, and Chris, 48, were first linked together back in 2017 and have maintained a fairly low profile when it comes to their romance, save for a handful of headline-making public appearances — Chris' India trip for Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour earlier this year in January with Dakota in tow, being a prime example. The two reportedly got engaged back in 2020, though their dynamic has largely been on-again, off-again for a while now. This breakup however, comes across as final, seeing as the actor has been spotted sans her engagement ring, since news of the split went public. And what really sealed the deal, was Dakota's look for her appearance on Seth Meyers' late night show last week, nearly-unanimously dubbed, her take on the 'revenge dress', though the actor has made no such comment or acknowledgement when it comes to the Nensi Dojaka's Spring/Summer 2025 'naked dress'. Coming back to Materialists, besides Dakota, the film, set in New York, also stars Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans. The film is set for a release on June 13.
