BTS Jin is drawing attention again for the behind-the-scenes story about the guitar he received as a gift from Coldplay’s Chris Martin.
In an interview video released on KiddTV on April 22nd (KST), Chris Martin immediately replied “Jin!” when the host said “I know you gifted your guitar to one of the BTS boys.” To the question “Do you feel like the other guys looked at you like ‘Oh, Jin got it? What are we gonna get now?'”, he answered, “First of all, Jin is the eldest, and I know it’s okay to show a little more respect to the eldest in Korean culture. Moreover, Jin seemed to have the deepest knowledge of guitar.”
Previously, Chris Martin repeatedly revealed in interviews that BTS x Coldplay‘s “My Universe”, which gained huge popularity around the world, began with Jin’s idea, describing Jin as a “hidden contributor”. He is also famous for not hiding his special affection by always mentioning Jin and praising him.
Jin, who has been a longtime fan of Coldplay for years, was also delighted to receive Chris Martin‘s favorite guitar as a gift. Jin drew attention by posting a photo of the guitar, which he said he would decorate as a family heirloom, on the fan community Weverse along with the caption saying “My proud TV”.
Meanwhile, Jin performed Coldplay’s “Fix You” on “MTV Unplugged” last year with a wide range of notes by his deep and clean tone, showing a high-quality performance. World-class music critics and vocalists praised, “Jin’s vocal range encompasses a lyrical and soft voice. It has a beautiful falsetto and a powerful head. It is so wide that it plays a solidly pivotal role no matter what genre he chooses.”
This time, through Chris Martin, the fact that Jin is the most proficient in guitar among BTS members is known, and interest in Jin’s musicality is increasing. Many fans are cheering for the beautiful friendship that transcends borders and generations between superstar Jin and living legend Chris Martin.
