More about the bands

Coldplay was formed in London in the late 1990s. Led by vocalist and pianist Chris Martin, the band includes Guy Berryman on bass, Will Champion handling drums, percussion, and Jonny Buckland on guitar. The band mainly rose to fame with their 2000 debut album, Parachutes, and the hit single, Yellow. They are known for tracks like Clocks, Fix You, and Viva La Vida.

BTS is short for Bangtan Sonyeondan. The K-pop boy band debuted in South Korea in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment. The seven-member group comprises RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. Their fans are known as ARMY. With multiple Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s, including Dynamite and Butter, the band was the first Korean group to see mainstream success in the Western music industry.

The boy band members have also remained in the news for personal reasons other than music. According to a report by Korea JoongAng Daily recently, Big Hit Music reportedly confirmed that Jimin had dated actress Song Da-eun "many years ago." This matter was subject to many years of fan speculation.

On the other hand, as per The Chosun Daily, Jungkook recently spoke publicly on a live broadcast about a home intrusion incident and requested fans to respect boundaries. He warned of stronger measures against stalkers. He mentioned:

"I was watching everything on CCTV from my house. When I heard the police coming, they were trying to open the door and flee in a hurry from the underground parking lot. The person claimed to be my friend. Although ARMY, the BTS fandom, are all family and friends, it was regrettable. I am really grateful for the support, but that's not how it is done."

He then warned,

"If you come looking, I will lock you up. Since everything is recorded, evidence will be secured, and you will just be taken away. If you step into our house's parking lot, you will not get out. You will be trapped unless I open the door. If you don't want to go to the police station, don't come at all."
