Recently, Z100 New York released an interview they did with Jin.

During the interview, they spoke about Coldplay, and the interviewer said, “I love Coldplay; do you love Coldplay, too? Have you seen them live?”

Of course, Jin and BTS as a whole have a long-standing bond with Coldplay, which goes back years. The idol quickly clarified the relationship and his own solo work with the group.

I have seen them. I’ve been together with them on the stage. When Coldplay played in Argentina, I went on stage as their special guest. I have a song called ‘The Astronaut,’ which is a song co-written by Coldplay. I performed the song with Chris Martin.

— Jin

The host then seemed shocked and continued to ask about the experience. Yet, netizens found it unprofessional, and the information could’ve been easily found with even basic research.

Even on X, the clip was shared, and ARMYs shared their frustration that the interviewer had not done basic research on Jin before the interview took place.

Hi @Z100NewYork, with all due respect, it is a reporter’s job to research their guest. This isn’t our first rodeo together. We don’t believe in bullying, our tweet is kindly meant for accountability purposes. Thank you! #Jin pic.twitter.com/cdhThctlgw

Is she insane!!! How she didn't know about the collaboration and "The Astronaut"!!! Even if she is not a fan, she should do her work and know about all #Jin's discovery!!

She is a liar or an amateur!! https://t.co/j1NCCKnySP
