Highlight of the story: BTS member Jin lit up the stage in Anaheim during his solo world tour, RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR. As he does at every stop, he played a game of charades with ARMY. This time, the word was "Coldplay" - and things quickly turned chaotic.
No one - literally no one - is ever going to forget what happened at Coldplay's Boston concert on Wednesday (July 16). Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, who attended the concert, was caught on camera sharing an intimate moment with his company's Chief Public Officer, Kristin Cabot. It seems even BTS - despite their busy work schedules - have caught wind of the incident.
BTS member Jin lit up the stage in Anaheim during his solo world tour, RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR. As he does at every stop, he played a game of charades with his fans, known as ARMY. This time, the word was "Coldplay" - and things quickly turned chaotic.
In a video clip shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), the word displayed on the screen was "Coldplay." Rather than simply miming the band's name, ARMY got cheeky and recreated the now-infamous "hug and duck" gesture - a viral reference to the Coldplay concert cheating moment.
At first, Jin appeared visibly confused by the exaggerated physical hints. But as ARMY energetically performed the "hug and duck" move in dramatic fashion, he burst into laughter, realizing the clever nod to the scandal.
At one point, Jin asked, "Is it my bro?" referring to Chris Martin, with ARMY screaming "Yes!" in response. The moment escalated hilariously until Jin finally guessed "Coldplay" correctly, prompting loud cheers for the playful and well-timed clue.
The clip quickly went viral, thanks to ARMY's enthusiasm and Jin's infectious laughter - once again proving how BTS and their fans can turn even a simple game into a legendary moment.
The eldest member of the group is currently in the midst of the North American and European legs of his first-ever solo tour, with upcoming shows scheduled in Dallas, Tampa, Newark, London, and Amsterdam.
During his Anaheim concert, the eldest BTS member opened up about missing his fellow bandmates and reflected on what it feels like to perform without them. Admitting he had been nervous ahead of the show, Jin shared candidly, "I came here very worried actually. So I don't have my members with me, first of all. And after doing shows I feel like I wasn't in the best condition."
He went on to explain how the absence of his members affected him emotionally: "Usually the members next to me would say 'Gwenchana' [It's okay]. But then today when I came here, it's like instead of members, you guys hit the spot and you guys are saying it's okay, it's okay to me."
In a heartfelt moment that left fans teary-eyed, he added, "To me, you guys are just as precious as the members." Jin ended his message with a warm and sincere, "Thank you ARMY, I love you ARMY!"
