During their record-breaking fifth headlining performance, Chris Martin and co. took some time to shout-out the members of K-pop boyband BTS, majority of whom are currently serving mandatory military service in South Korea.
Despite the K-pop group’s physical absence, their presence was still felt at Worthy Farm, with Coldplay performing ‘My Universe’ with projections of the South Korean act were displayed on the tip of the Pyramid Stage.
