ARMYs Praise Coldplay For Covering BTS Jin’s “The Astronaut” On “Saturday Night Live”
ARMYs are praising Coldplay for the British rock band’s performance on NBC‘s Emmy-winning late-night comedy show Saturday Night Live (also known as SNL).

On Saturday, February 4, Chilean American actor Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian and The Last of Us) hosted Saturday Night Live. Coldplay was the musical guest that night.
ARMYs had noticed in the preview for the episode that Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin was wearing Wootteo on his jacket. Wootteo is the little astronaut mascot BTS‘s Jin created ahead of his mandatory military enlistment and the release of his solo single “The Astronaut,” which Martin co-wrote.
Is that a Wootteo pin on Chris' Jacket?! 🥹🥹🥹 pic.twitter.com/j4NosLap1f

No because this man said his friend was 'going away for a while' and look at him with a patch of Wootteo next to his heart, I'm crying.

Coldplay carrying Wootteo in some form whether it’s on a jacket, the plush or anything is by far the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen.
They’re so good to BTS. They’re so genuine. They are good to them 🥺 pic.twitter.com/YXm8akxElb

It turns out that Martin was giving a hint at the band’s performance. They not only performed a medley of hits, “Fix You” and “Human Heart.”
They ended up performing a cover of Jin’s “The Astronaut.”
Coldplay certainly made ARMYs proud with the performance, and we know Jin would be too. It felt like an emotional and respectful tribute to him. Since Coldplay could have performed any of their many popular songs, the fact that they chose “The Astronaut” felt especially meaningful.

ARMYs also couldn’t help but notice all the singers wore Wootteo on their shirts. Coldplay truly love Jin and take any chance they get to show it!

Dear Joon's friend,
I know I often call upon you to pass on messages to the Tannies but this time it's really important.Please tell Jin that Coldplay performed #TheAstronaut on SNL, surrounded by Wootteos. He needs to know that they love and miss him too, just like ARMY.

We hope Jin can watch the performance soon!
