In a thrilling turn of events, fans at Goyang Stadium were treated to an unforgettable experience on April 22nd as Rosé took the stage during Coldplay’s concert. The Blackpink star was spotted rehearsing and performing her global hit “APT,” a collaboration with Bruno Mars, leaving the audience buzzing with excitement.
Videos shared by attendees captured Rosé’s stunning vocals as she shared the spotlight with Coldplay, raising speculation that frontman Chris Martin might sing Bruno’s parts live, adding an extra layer of anticipation to the performance. Fans are also eagerly hoping for a duet of Coldplay’s legendary track “Viva La Vida,” especially since Rosé recently covered it for the “Pachinko” season 2 soundtrack.
During the concert, Chris Martin lightened the mood with a playful comment, joking about the absence of a president during Coldplay’s visits to South Korea, which drew laughter and cheers from the crowd. This humorous remark coincided with the fact that Rosé’s song “APT” was notably chanted during a significant protest in December 2024, calling for the impeachment of President Yun Suk Yol, leading social media users to affectionately dub Coldplay the “impeachment band.”
As Coldplay continues their Music of the Spheres World Tour, this concert marks the fourth of six shows in South Korea, where previous performances have featured surprise K-pop collaborations. Notably, BTS’s Jin made headlines by performing his solo debut single “The Astronaut,” co-written by Chris Martin, and joining the band for their hit “My Universe.” Meanwhile, Twice has been the official opening act for the tour, showcasing their popular tracks like “Dance the Night Away” and “Cheer Up,” along with a newly released Korean version of their collaboration “We Pray.”
With both Rosé and Twice set to perform at the concert, fans are buzzing with the possibility of an interaction between the Blackpink member and the JYP girl group. Adding to the excitement, Jisoo is reportedly in Seoul, and Lisa has just returned from her Coachella performance, leading many to wonder if they will make an appearance to support Rosé.
As the night unfolds, Rosé’s performance adds yet another memorable chapter to Coldplay’s concert series in Korea, blending global and local talent on one spectacular stage. What surprises await as the concert continues?
