Fans of BTS and Coldplay are in for a treat this October as BTS' member Jin is set to perform his solo single "The Astronaut" for the the first time with the British rock band during their upcoming concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
This was announced through a statement published by BTS' music label Big Hit Music in the K-pop band's Weverse page. It was also revealed in Coldplay's Instagram account.
