The two artists bowed to one another and exchanged a warm embrace, embodying the lasting friendship forged through music.

The excitement didn’t stop there. Jin later returned to perform ‘My Universe’, the celebrated BTS and Coldplay collaboration, elevating the night into an unforgettable experience for the 50,000 fans in attendance.

Coldplay’s Seoul stop drew a total of 150,000 attendees across shows held on November 16, 18, and 19, with additional concerts scheduled on November 22, 24, and 25.

Following the event, Jin shared a lighthearted update with fans on social media, posting photos from his surprise appearance with the cheerful captions “안뇽하쎄용” and “해삐.”
