Coldplay’s third night in Seoul turned into something unforgettable when Jin from BTS stepped onto the stage alongside Chris Martin to perform The Astronaut live. And it was just as magical, emotional, and heart-melting as ARMY had imagined. Coldplay and Jin had collaborated for The Astronaut in October 2022. The British band had previously collaborated with the K-pop septet for My Universe in 2021.

Jin and Coldplay reunite on stage

On April 19, 2025, BTS' Jin joined Coldplay at Goyang Stadium, Seoul, for a performance of their collaboration song The Astronaut. Jin's appearance was previously teased by Chris Martin, who had responded to a fan query about the BTS vocalist's joining them with a "maybe."

Before performing, Jin was seen in the crowd enjoying the concert just like a fan, holding a sign that said, "Can I sing The Astronaut with you?” It was his sweet gesture to tease his surprise performance, and fans immediately knew something big was coming.

Once he got on stage, Jin told the crowd, “Before going to the military, my last stage was Coldplay’s stage. Now my first concert after discharge is also Coldplay’s concert.” Chris Martin replied, It’s all because of you we have this relationship with BTS.” And just like that, fans were crying all over again.

Jin and Chris Martin deliver a memorable live performance of The Astronaut

As soon as the opening notes of The Astronaut started playing, the energy instantly shifted. Jin began the song with his mesmerizing vocals, while Chris played the piano beside him.

You could hear the crowd cheering mid-performance, ethereal vocals, but even Chris Martin looked like he was in awe. As the song went on, their voices blended perfectly, filling the stadium with emotion and giving fans a moment they’ll never forget. Check out the complete performance below:

If you’ve been with Jin since his solo debut, you know how much The Astronaut means to him and ARMY. Released on October 28, 2022, it was his goodbye-for-now gift to ARMY before he enlisted. Written with Coldplay, the song carried so much emotion, and hearing it live again after all this time brought back all the bittersweet memories associated with the song.
