Coldplay adds Hanroro, Elyanna to Korea concert guest lineup
With Coldplay's highly anticipated concerts in Korea just a week away, the band has announced two additional special guests.
Singer-songwriter Hanroro and Palestinian Chilean artist Elyanna have been added to the guest lineup for Coldplay's upcoming "Music of the Spheres" concerts in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.
Coldplay will perform six shows in Korea on April 16, 18, 19, 22, 24 and 25 at the Goyang Sports Complex Stadium. Hanroro will take the stage as a guest on the final two nights, April 24 and 25, while Elyanna will perform April 16, 18, 19 and 22.
Hanroro gained widespread attention with her debut single 'Let Me Love My Youth," released in March 2022, and has continued to captivate audiences with her unique perspective on youth through her first EP, "Take Off," released in August 2023, and second EP, "Home," in May 2024. Her fresh sound has made her a sought-after act at music festivals across Korea.
Elyanna, who began her music career in 2019, is known for blending Arabic music with Latin rhythms to create a distinctive, experimental Arab-pop sound. From a young age, she has been immersed in music, building a signature style that sets her apart.
Meanwhile, Twice, one of the most beloved K-pop girl groups, is scheduled to appear as a guest for all six nights of Coldplay's Korea concerts.

[팟캐스트] (708) 감독이 밝힌 전 세계 사로잡은 '케이팝 데몬 헌터스' 제작 배경

Tech CEO quits after concert incident
The IT company CEO captured in a widely circulated video showing him embracing an employee at a Coldplay concert has resigned. Andy Byron resigned from his job as CEO of Cincinnati-based Astronomer, according to a statement posted on LinkedIn by the company Saturday. 'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the company said in its post on LinkedIn. The move comes a day after the company said that Byron had been placed on leave and the board of directors had launched a formal investigation into the jumbotron incident, which went viral. A company spokesman later confirmed in a statement to AP that it was Byron and Astronomer chief people officer Kristin Cabot in the video. The short video clip shows Byron and Cabot as captured on the jumbotron at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, during a Coldplay concert on Wednesday. Lead singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his 'Jumbotron Song,' when he sings a few lines about the people the camera lands on. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' he joked. Internet sleuths identified the man as the chief executive officer of a US-based company and the woman as its chief people officer. Pete DeJoy, Astronomer's cofounder and chief product officer, has been tapped as interim CEO while the company conducts a search for Byron's successor. It's easy to miss, but most concert venues have signs informing the audience that they could be filmed during the event. Look for them on the walls when you arrive and around the bar areas or toilets. It's common practice especially when bands like to use performances for music videos or concert films. The venue in this case, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, also has a privacy policy online which states, 'When you visit our location or attend or participate in an event at our location, we may capture your image, voice and/or likeness, including through the use of CCTV cameras and/or when we film or photograph you in a public location.' 'They probably would have got away with it if they hadn't reacted,' said Alison Taylor, a clinical associate professor at New York University's Stern School of Business. And by the time the alleged identities emerged on social media, it hit a classic nerve around 'leaders acting like the rules don't apply to them,' she added. Still, Taylor and others stress how quickly such a video lead to an internet search to find the people involved — and note that it's important to remember that such 'doxing' isn't just reserved for famous people. Beyond someone simply spotting a familiar face and spreading the word, technological advances, such as the rising adoption of artificial intelligence, has made it easier and faster overall to find just about anyone in a viral video today. 'It's a little bit unsettling how easily we can be identified with biometrics, how our faces are online, how social media can track us — and how the internet has gone from being a place of interaction, to a gigantic surveillance system,' said Mary Angela Bock, an associate professor in the University of Texas at Austin's School of Journalism and Media. 'When you think about it, we are being surveilled by our social media. They're tracking us in exchange for entertaining us.' (AP)
