Jin of BTS performs with Coldplay at British band's Seoul concert
Fans were in for a treat when K-pop sensation BTS' Jin made a surprise appearance at British rock band Coldplay's Seoul concert on Saturday (Apr 19).
The concert was part of the six-night South Korean leg of the band's Music of the Spheres world tour, which started on Apr 16 and will end on Apr 25. Coldplay previously also held six sold-out shows in Singapore in January 2024.
On the third night of the band's concerts, Jin, who was hidden among the crowd at the Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi, held up a signboard that read 'Can I sing The Astronaut with you?'. The Astronaut is Jin's 2022 debut solo single which was co-written by Coldplay.
After Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin welcomed Jin on stage, the two sat at the piano where Martin joked: 'Coldplay is the second-best band in the world; BTS, maybe number one I think.'
He added: 'We miss you man. You've been in the military; you still look so handsome. Look at this beautiful man.' This was Jin's first time performing live since completing his mandatory military service, where he enlisted in 2022 and was discharged in June 2024.
Jin also addressed the crowd and said in Korean: "Before I went to the military, my last stage was Coldplay. Now, my first concert after my discharge is also Coldplay's." In 2022, Jin joined Coldplay at their Buenos Aires concert, where he performed The Astronaut for the first time.
Jin, together with Martin then performed the K-pop star's single, followed by My Universe, the 2021 collaborative song between Coldplay and BTS. The BTS member also posted pictures of him and Martin's performance on Instagram.

TikTok is not the reason we watch ‘slop', burnout is
Turning on a TV show or lying down and scrolling through a seemingly endless supply of videos on TikTok or Instagram has taken the place of drinking alcohol. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION: PEXELS Social media is often the scapegoat for just about everything wrong in modern society. The latest thing it's getting blamed for is 'slop'. Originally, the term refers to the pervasiveness of low-quality artificial intelligence-generated content that is flooding social feeds, but it has turned into a catch-all for much of today's subpar products and content. Laying all of this at the feet of social platforms is a mistake, though. Slop is not a new phenomenon. Each generation can point to moments in which the old guard decried that the latest media or gadget was brain-rotting sludge. In my lifetime, it's been everything from hip-hop and grunge music to the rise of reality television and violent video games, such as Call Of Duty or Grand Theft Auto, to the BlackBerry – which was so addictive it was nicknamed Crackberry.

Rita Ora celebrates her 'sexuality' in new single Heat , Entertainment News
Rita Ora's new music is about celebrating her "sexuality". The British pop star has just dropped her sizzling summer single Heat - the music video for which goes live at 5pm BST Friday (June 6) - and has explained that she wanted to embrace her womanhood and be "carefree and fun" after getting deep about married life to filmmaker spouse Taika Waititi on last album, You and I. Rita, 34, told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "I wanted to really celebrate my sexuality and the way I am as a woman. "My last album was so different, it was about my love life and getting married. "But with this next lot of music I wanted it to be so carefree and back to how I was coming up in the industry. "I wanted to celebrate everything I have become. "It's not super deep, just fun." The Hot Right Now hitmaker has been living in married bliss with Taika, 49, for three years now, and she insists she has never had a "type" and encourages her single pals to be open to everyone. She gushed: "I feel in a really great happy place right now." Rita added: "I have never really had a type, I have never really thought of it like that. "It's always been about the person. "I've never cancelled anyone out as they don't fit my perfect list of what I think's perfect. "You don't really know until you meet someone who takes you by surprise. Being open may surprise you. "That would be my advice. "It's helped a lot of my friends and now I see them and they are really happy, but admit they'd have never gone for that person." [[nid:687778]]
