Thanks to their influence, BTS has the opportunity to work and collaborate with many Hollywood stars. One of BTS's admirable cross-border friendships is their friendship with Coldplay, especially leader Chris Martin.
Although the generation gap between the two groups is huge for Martin and BTS, they respect each other as great friends and colleagues. That is probably because their behavior towards each other makes others admire.
Jin recently revealed the most unforgettable impression of Martin Chris when talking about BTS:
Since collaborating with Coldplay in the production of My Universe, BTS members have become more and more close to this legendary band. It is well known that the BTS members are huge fans of Coldplay, and they were the ones who contacted Chris Martin to ask for the collaboration in the first place.
According to NME, there was a time when Martin initially thought the two's musical and performance styles were not suitable. But in the end, he decided to write My Universe and went to Korea to record songs with the group. And the result is a worldwide favorite masterpiece was born.
Since then, the two have maintained contact and have a strong cross-border friendship through music. Coldplay and Chris Martin have always defended and complimented BTS and their music. Meanwhile, BTS has sincere respect and affection for their successful seniors and colleagues.
Most recently, Chris Martin even wrote Jin the first solo song and also a meaningful song before Jin enlisted in the army. On the occasion of collaborating with Chris Martin, Jin had many opportunities to talk with him and learn more interesting things about their friendship.
Jin went to Argentina at the suggestion of Chris Martin to perform The Astronaut for the first time at a Coldplay concert with them. Previously, Chris Martin also supported BTS by unexpectedly appearing in the group's My Universe performance at the Permission To Dance concert. And it was this performance that made Chris Martin have a deep impression of the personality of BTS.
Jin said that Martin said that the way they treated him while performing at the concert made him very impressed and left a good memory. Specifically, Jin shared: "Coldplay hyungnim told us when we performed together with him that it was our concert now so he wouldn't even do an ending ment, he would just sing and go. But we were like "ah hyungnim no, we didn't do that when you came to us so we can't do that". And he said ah good memory".
Perhaps for many other artists, things like Chris Martin mentioned are common, but for BTS, they have a very special way of treating guests on stage. It is BTS' kindness and subtlety in small acts like this that makes Chris Martin and Coldplay love and respect them.
This isn't the first time BTS has had guests on their stage, and Chris Martin isn't the only one to be treated in such a wonderful way by BTS. BTS always takes care of guests when inviting them to perform by making them the center of the performance and always paying attention to their standing position when performing together.
It is a professional attitude and respect for BTS' colleagues and good friends. It is also the reason why he is loved by many famous artists in the world!
