Here’s How BTS’s Jin Scored The Rarest Autograph In The World From Coldplay’s Chris Martin

Only Jin could’ve thought of such a genius idea.

BTS and Coldplay go way back! They have some history together, not only collaborating on the mega hit “My Universe,” but Chris Martin also gifted the song “The Astronaut” to Jin.

Chris Martin has been very vocal about his respect for Korean culture, going out of his way to learn about it. Back in 2022, he showed that he knew about Korea’s age hierarchy culture while talking about the gifts he gave BTS. Chris Martin gifted Jin with a special guitar of his.

When the interviewer questioned the intentions behind it, Chris Martin explained that it was normal in Korean culture to pay extra respect to older people. Jin is the eldest in BTS, demonstrating Chris’ attention to Korean culture and the band.

Well, Jin is the eldest, so the way I think that Korean culture works is that’s okay to pay extra respect to the eldest, and I think Jin is–as far as I can tell–the most into guitary stuff [. . .] and we did give gifts to everybody, too.

— Chris Martin

To celebrate BTS’s 10th anniversary, V released a never-before-scene clip of Jin’s interaction with Chris Martin. Although Jin is a superstar himself, he made sure to get an autograph from his longtime idol. To make it even more special, Jin insisted on receiving an autograph in Korean from Chris.

Jin personally wrote out “Chris Martin” in Hangul for Chris to copy. To his credit, Chris diligently copied out the Korean characters for his own name. Korean netizens couldn’t help but find Jin adorable for the way he obtained the rarest autograph ever.
