BTS‘s Jin was discharged from his mandatory military service in June of last year and was greeted by fans and fellow members. Since then, he has released two EPs, “Happy” and “Echo” in November 2024 and May 2025, respectively. Currently, the Super Tuna singer is on a worldwide album tour, RunSeokjin Ep. Tour. The tour kicked off on June 28th and will conclude with his last show on August 20th in Amsterdam.
What Is The Viral Coldplay Viral Video?
The moment that got Jin fans cheering loudly was a reference to the viral video of former Astronomer CEO, Andy Byron and the company’s HR head, Kristin Cabot. The moment was captured during a Coldplay concert in Massachusetts when Byron could be seen hugging Cabot from the back of the “kiss cam.” However, when the two realised the situation, they hid from the camera, prompting singer Chris Martin to say, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
The video of this incident caught mainstream attention and led to Astronomer launching an internal investigation and issuing a formal statement. In their statement, the data operations company wrote, “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.”
It was also shared that the CEO, Andy Byron, has been put on leave and replaced by Pete DeJoy for the time being. Byron later resigned, and Astronomer is currently in search of their new CEO, while DeJoy fills in as interim CEO.
