BTS’s Jin once again showed his heart-melting charm — even Coldplay couldn’t resist!

On April 19, Jin made a surprise appearance at Coldplay’s "Music of the Spheres World Tour" concert at Goyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.

Fans were thrilled to see Jin reunite with Coldplay after two and a half years. Their friendship goes way back — BTS and Coldplay teamed up for “My Universe” in 2021, and Coldplay also worked with Jin on his 2022 solo single “The Astronaut.”

This latest reunion was full of touching moments. Jin and Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin shared a respectful bow, then warmed hearts even more by performing “My Universe” and “The Astronaut” together live.

But what really had fans screaming was Chris Martin’s super affectionate gestures — he smiled warmly at Jin, hugged him, and even gave him kisses on the cheek after they finished singing.

The crowd couldn’t get enough of their sweet bond. Fans commented things like,

“Chris really looks like he adopted Jin,”
“This is pure love,”
“Chris just opened a honey farm,”
and “They’re like uncle and nephew — so cute!”

Jin is now gearing up for his second solo mini-album titled “ECO”, set to drop on May 16. It will include 7 tracks and show more of Jin’s personal story with a rich band sound.

The hit drama Weak Hero 2 is taking over both streaming charts and fans’ hearts—and now it’s bringing massive attention back to the original Naver webtoon Weak Hero.

According to Netflix's Tudum Top 10 update on April 30, Weak Hero 2 pulled in a huge 6.1 million views (based on total watch time divided by full runtime) just three days after its release. It grabbed the #1 spot on the Global TOP 10 Non-English TV Series chart.

That’s not all—right after it dropped, the drama soared to the top of Korea’s TOP 10 Series and even made the TOP 10 charts in 63 countries, including Brazil, France, Mexico, Belgium, Morocco, Greece, Indonesia, and more.

This follows the success of Weak Hero 1, which previously ranked #8 and stayed on the global chart for five weeks straight.

With all eyes on the new season, fans are now rushing to read the original webtoon, leading to a massive jump in popularity.

The webtoon, which first started in May 2018 and wrapped up in November 2023, is famous for its intense storytelling and emotional depth.

It tells the story of Yeon Si Eun, a quiet and seemingly weak student who turns into a top fighter at a violent school—giving fans a unique and gripping coming-of-age story.

After Weak Hero Class 2 aired, many viewers started reading or re-reading the webtoon from beginning to end. As a result, sales of the webtoon have shot up more than 20 times compared to its average monthly sales after completion.

The series has also been turned into printed books, a mobile game, and even emojis, and has been exported to 9 countries, including North America.

When the first season of the drama premiered on Wavve in 2022, it held 45% of the platform’s total viewing share, proving its wide appeal.

Fans are now hoping for a new sequel season of the webtoon, and the franchise is being praised as a perfect example of how a strong original story can keep growing through great adaptations.
