Conversation between BTS Jin and Chris Martin from Coldplay!
For the unversed, recently Chris and Jin's conversation was shared on Twitter by BTS' official account. A part of Chris' conversation read, "And thank you for inspiring the song. When we spoke about you having to leave for a while and missing the band and your fans, it was really powerful. I think the song found its way because of that conversation."
