It was reported that the song had been gifted by Coldplay, and as it turns out, both Chris Martin and his son, Moses Martin, are credited in the album, making Jin’s upcoming solo even more special. After all, Jin has been a longtime fan of Coldplay!
Jin: “I’m a big fan of Chris Martin. Thinking back now, it was truly incredible to be able to collaborate with Coldplay. It was such a precious time for me.

Now, his friendship with Chris Martin is making ARMYs feel soft as they exchange the most heartfelt messages, even teasing an appearance by Jin in Coldplay’s upcoming concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The official BTS Twitter account shared a thread of messages between Chris Martin and Jin, which started with them catching up. Yet, Chris Martin did not hesitate to immediately ask Jin to join him and the band for their concert on October 28, the day of The Astronaut‘s release.
Their conversation also showed just how close they are as they shared their concerns. Chris Martin thanked Jin for inspiring the song and even touched on previous conversations the two of them had over Jin’s upcoming leave. ARMYs went weak when Jin referred to him as, “my superstar, my bro.” And of course, he enthusiastically agreed to perform in Argentina!
Chris Martin made fans melt as he said, “Ok my brother Jin, ARMYs are lucky to have you, you are a precious man!” (ARMYs couldn’t agree more.) He also sent his love to the rest of the members, reminding everyone of the wholesome friendship they all share.
Jin claimed he is more than ready to go perform and announced his intention to prepare for the long trip immediately, confirming that he will debut “The Astronaut” live at Coldplay’s concert.
Fans were already happy just to see them collaborate on Jin’s upcoming solo…
The fact that Jin loves and respects Chris Martin and Coldplay so much and he's creating a song with them must be so special to him. I'm so so happy for Seokjin 🥺

Jin and Chris Martin’s messages have truly proven that they have the most wholesome friendship…
Jin, knowing he would leave for military, talked to Chris Martin about his feelings and worries in regards to his fans bc “he as a constant would be leaving us” and THAT INSPIRED THE ASTRONAUT..Confirmed. I’m actually crying rn. This is so moving
