Not only did Coldplay co-write the song, the band members are also credited for backup vocals, guitar, keyboard — the whole shebang!
A cinematic trailer was also released for “The Astronaut.” Concept photos, teasers, and a lyric video are set to be revealed prior to the song's release on October 28 at 12 p.m. (Philippine time).
In a Weverse statement, BigHit Music said that ARMY “can meet various sides of Jin” through this song.
To recall, BTS and Coldplay collaborated last year for the hit song "My Universe." The track, which was included in Coldplay's album "Music of the Spheres, debuted at the top of Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin also never hid the fact that he adored the South Korean superstars — and it seems like he has a soft spot for Jin, because he gave him his personal guitar.
Jin is the second member of K-pop titans BTS to officially debut as a solo artist, nine years after the group was launched by BigHit Music. He is set to fulfill mandatory military service in South Korea following the release of his single. The other members are set to follow suit.
BTS is estimated to reconvene as a group in 2025. —with reports from Nika Roque/JCB, GMA News
