Coldplay, the world-renowned rock band, has returned to South Korea with their highly anticipated concert series, "Coldplay: MUSIC OF THE SPHERES." The shows are being held at Goyang Comprehensive Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, running from April 16 to 19, with additional dates from April 22 to 25, 2025.
TWICE lit up the stage as a special guest during Coldplay's first show in South Korea on April 16. While their live vocals earned praise online, many fans also couldn't stop gushing over how Coldplay never misses a chance to mention their "brothers," BTS.
It was officially announced that the K-pop girl group will perform at all six concert dates, sending fans into a frenzy. After the first show wrapped up, the internet buzzed with excitement as videos of their performance in front of a packed crowd went viral, especially on X (formerly known as Twitter).
TWICE performed "Dance The Night Away" and "Feel Special," with their live vocals receiving widespread praise — especially notable as K-pop has recently faced a wave of lip-syncing accusations over the past few months.?
Not just that, they also joined Coldplay and his entourage to sing "We Pray" and added their own lyrics in Korean which was loved by fans.
Chris Martin mentions BTS?
On the other hand, Coldplay never misses a chance to mention BTS. Since their collaboration on "My Universe" in 2021, the two groups have shared a close bond. At every show, Chris Martin makes it a point to acknowledge BTS and feature their hologram during the song's performance. Now in BTS' home country, Chris warmly called out each member by name, earning huge cheers from the crowd.
During the concert, Chris Martin spotted a fan holding a sign that read: "The Astronaut - When I'm with you, I feel special. Always singing with you."
Chris smiled and responded, "That's 'The Astronaut' by Jin, I believe. Maybe we'll sing that tomorrow!" — sending BTS ARMY into a frenzy at the sweet acknowledgment and exciting possibility.
At every show, Chris Martin picks a fan from the crowd to join him on stage for a special Songbook performance. During this show, Chris mentioned the BTS members currently serving in the military and explained why he selected this one particular fan.?
The fan's sign read: "I delayed my military to sing with you."
Chris Martin said, "I chose your sign because of all our brothers in BTS who are in the army right now."?
This marks Coldplay's second visit to South Korea, following their debut concert on April 16, 2017, at Jamsil Stadium, Seoul, as part of their 'A Head Full of Dreams World Tour'. That night, they performed 23 songs, including hits from their seventh album.?
