The combined performance by Coldplay and Jin of BTS ignites social media
KOREA: As reported by Allkpop, the partnership between BTS's Jin and Coldplay is igniting social media. Photo: Instagram/Coldplay
Coldplay's been on this massive 'Music of the Spheres' tour since Apr 16. They kicked things off in Korea. Yesterday, they shared cool photos and videos from the tour on their Twitter and Instagram accounts.
Coldplay shared two special photos, among the many photos of guest performers, of BTS's Jin, and two videos. One of them showed Chris Martin just vibing with the audience, getting everyone to sing along—you know how he does! The other video was sweet: It caught the moment when Chris and Jin were on stage, just jumping around and laughing together. You could see they were good friends, having a blast up there. It was a nice glimpse into their friendship. Special guest
Jin popped up as a special guest with Coldplay on Apr 19, a nd then, he joined them again for their very last show in Korea on Apr 25.
When Jin joined Coldplay on stage, he didn't just stand there! He performed 'My Universe,' which is a song BTS did together with Coldplay. He also sang 'The Astronaut,' which is his own solo song that he helped write, and he even created the music with Coldplay. Jin received a lot of accolades for captivating the public and fans with his strong vocals and breathtaking looks. Great collaboration
Chris Martin was lovely about the whole collaboration with Jin. He kept mentioning that it was Jin's idea for them to work together! During the show, Chris was warm, thanking Jin for introducing Coldplay to BTS, for being such a kind person, and for singing with them that night. He added that he'll always love Jin.
Both Jin and Coldplay share a close bond. Back in 2021, BTS was in New York for a trip. Jin complimented Chris Martin's guitar, and Chris then gifted Jin the guitar, which he had been using for more than 10 years.
Prior to their Seoul concert, Coldplay hinted at Jin's upcoming arrival. After Coldplay wrapped up their last show in Hong Kong, they posted on Twitter on Apr 13, saying how amazing it was. Then, they hinted at their next stop, Seoul, and included a picture of Jin's character, Wootteo. It's sweet because, as a sign of their friendship, Coldplay has been bringing that Wootteo plushie along to every single concert they've done since Jin gave it to them back in 2022. Shout-out to Jin and Seoul
After Jin showed up at that concert in Seoul on April 19, Coldplay was so touched that the very next day, they put up a post online.
It was he and Chris Martin singing together. In their message, they were super appreciative, thanking Jin for joining them and even giving a shout-out to Seoul. They said they'd never forget those moments and added a purple heart at the end—so sweet!
Then, Jin himself hopped on his Instagram a couple of days later, on Apr 26, and talked about how amazing Coldplay's friendship is and how incredible their performance together was. It went viral all over the world. It just goes to show how famous and influential both of them are.

Behold Zoe Tay, the queen of hair transformations
An exclusive acting contract with Mediacorp after she won the inaugural Star Search competition in 1988 first catapulted Zoe Tay to unprecedented heights, and the rest, you can say, is history. From being appointed as a L'Oreal Paris ambassador to winning four Best Actress Star Awards, it's safe to say Vogue Singapore's July/August 'Home' issue cover star isn't just Singapore's 'Queen of Caldecott Hill' — she's a cultural maven whose career has shaped the nation's entertainment landscape for nearly four decades. This year, Singapore's a h jie 's back in full force, taking on the role of a family matriarch in Netflix's highly anticipated series Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story . Beyond the silver screen, Tay is known for being quite the timeless beauty. And with her association with the Singapore Council of Women's Organisation and several other charities, she sure knows how to be a hero off-screen, too, using her platform to champion important causes with the same passion she brings to every role. What makes her so relatable, even now, is that she seems to rise above the pressure to embrace ageing. At 57, Tay is luminous, not because she's trying to look younger, but because she doesn't shy away from her age; she liberally leans into it. The veteran actress proves that confidence doesn't have an expiry date in a society that often places youth on a pedestal. And when it comes to her trusted mane, let's just say Tay knows how to give good hair. In fact, based off her transformations over the years, she has become something of a hair icon. You name it, she's done it; pixie cuts, bobs, fringes, micro fringes, middle partings, side partings, sleek updos, and her signature 'Bobo ' cut. The only question is, what will she think of next? From a sleek bun to a daring pixie, we dipped into the archives to round up Zoe Tay's best hair moments of all time. @zoetay10 1 / 5 Mane muse Tay is well aware that a sleek, polished top knot gains an intriguing edge when textured ends are allowed to peek through. @zoetay10 2 / 5 Pixie power Someone once said, never underestimate the transformative power of a pixie cut—Tay is living proof. With not a hair out of place, she looks ready to take on the world. @zoetay10 3 / 5 Flirty feminine Take a leaf from Tay's book with these windswept, full of movement tousled hair – perfect for a beach vacay. @zoetay10 4 / 5 Fringe affair Scroll through Tay's Instagram account, and you'll note that she's been working a fuller fringe for some time now. This classic statement style is definitely a commitment but with her usual poise Tay is effortlessly owning the look. @zoetay10 5 / 5 Braided goddess With her hair pulled into a sculptural braid, Ah Jie looks like a literal goddess.

Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez say ‘I do' in a divided Venice
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (left) and fiancee Lauren Sanchez leaving the Aman Venice hotel on the day of their wedding, on June 27. PHOTOS: AFP VENICE - Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tied the knot on June 27 at a sumptuous ceremony with the rich and famous on an island in Venice's lagoon, out of the sight and sound of protesters. 'This city seems impossible! It can't exist and yet, here it is!' an enchanted Mr Bezos told a La Repubblica journalist on June 26 who got close to the magnate as he whizzed around the canals by boat. But protesters had a different view, wondering how long Venice can endure: While the billionaires party, activists say the fragile city is sinking, overrun by tourists, and a victim of depopulation as locals unable to pay soaring rents are forced out. 'No Kings, No Bezos' read a sign in green neon projected on the St Mark's Campanile tower on the night of June 26. Serenaded Ms Sanchez late on June 27 posted a photo on Instagram – under a new name, laurensanchezbezos – showing her in a long flowing white dress and him in black tie, though it did not provide any indication where it was taken. Mr Bezos and Ms Sanchez, a former news anchor and entertainment reporter, celebrated their nuptials with guests including Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom. The tech magnate, 61, and Ms Sanchez, 55, are staying at the Aman hotel, a luxury 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal with a view of the Rialto bridge. Other A-list guests are staying at the Gritti Palace and the St Regis. The couple exchanged vows at a black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore on the afternoon of June 27, according to Italian media reports. The wedding is thought to have taken place in a vast open-air amphitheatre on the island, which sits across from Venice's iconic St Mark's Square. The newlyweds were to be serenaded by Matteo Bocelli, son of the famed opera singer Andrea Bocelli, reports said. Michelin-starred chef Fabrizio Mellino prepared the wedding dinner, while the cake has been made by French pastry chef Cedric Grolet, the Corriere della Sera said. Sanchez is alleged to have prepared 27 outfits to wear during the festivities. 'Enchanted' Wedding guests snapped by paparazzi as they hopped into boats included Jordan's Queen Rania, French luxury goods executive Francois-Henri Pinault, American football player Tom Brady, US fashion designer Spencer Antle, the singer Usher, and Ivanka Trump, daughter of US President Donald Trump, and her husband Jared Kushner.

The celebrations are set to end on June 28 with a party likely at the Arsenale, a vast shipyard complex dating back to when the city was a naval powerhouse. Bezos and Sanchez are donating €3 million (S$4.4 million) to the city, according to Veneto regional president Luca Zaia, and are employing historic Venetian artisans. Venice's oldest pastry maker Rosa Salva is baking 19th-century 'fishermen's biscuits' for party bags that will also contain something by Laguna B, renowned for its handblown Murano glass. Ms Trump and her family visited a glass-blowing workshop on the small island of Murano on June 25, according to the owner. 'They were amazed and enchanted by the magic of glass,' Mr Massimiliano Schiavon told the Corriere della Sera, adding that the family had a go at blowing glass. Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner leaving the St Regis hotel on June 27. PHOTO: REUTERS Venice, home to the oldest film festival in the world, is used to VIPs whizzing around in speed boats, and happily hosted the star-studded nuptials of Hollywood actor George Clooney in 2014. Some say this wedding too brings good business. Italy's tourism ministry said on June 27 it expected the wedding to bring the city nearly €1 billion, with about €895 million of that estimated to come from the 'media visibility' generated. But critics say Mr Bezos, one of the world's richest men and founder of a company regularly scrutinised for how it treats its workers, is different. 'Tax Billionaires', read protest signs along canals. 'In the time it takes you to read this, Jeff Bezos' wealth has increased by more than your monthly salary', they read in English and Italian. Jordan's Queen Rania Al Abdullah leaving the St Regis hotel on June 27. PHOTO: REUTERS Environmental activists have also pointed to the carbon footprint of the mega yachts and dozens of private jets – at least 95 – bringing the rich and famous to the city. But Mr Samuel Silvestri, a 55-year-old salesman, welcomed the extravaganza. 'Over-tourism is caused by those people who come with a backpack and their own food, and contribute very little,' he said, 'not those who transform Venice into a mini-Monte Carlo. This marriage helps the image of the city.' Italy's health ministry has issued a red heat alert for Venice for the weekend, part of a heatwave affecting much of southern Europe.
