[K-Enter] Jin and Chris Martin BFF

Usually on K-enter news, we talk about Korean entertainers but there can be exceptions.

British band Coldplay held a number of concerts here in Korea and on Saturday they were joined by a special guest?

Yes, Coldplay have made their return to Korea after 8 years with their "Music of the Spheres World Tour" that blew the doors off the stadium. K-pop girl group Twice warmed up the crowd by opening all three nights, before Coldplay graced the stage. And if you were one of the lucky ones to have attended on Saturday's performance you were in for a little treat as BTS's Jin made a special appearance.

Jin and Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin have a special bond as they have collaborated together in the past, working on songs such as Jin's solo song "Astronaut" and also a collaborative song with BTS "My Universe", which were both performed on the Saturday evening.

Their relationship has grown over the years. In October 2022, just before Jin's military enlistment, he traveled to the other side of the world to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to join Coldplay on stage and perform "Astronaut" with the band.

With two more concerts remaining, who knows if they have anyone else special planned. Next up WE meaning YOU and I have some really exciting news to go along with this news don't we?

Big Ocean, the world's first deaf K-pop idol group, released their second mini-album titled "Underwater" on Sunday, marking both their first year anniversary and also Korea's "Day of People with Disabilities".

The album is Big Ocean's story of realising they are like mermaids, awakening their instincts and embracing their identity.

The album includes four tracks: the title song "ATTENTION," "FADE OUT," "END OF TIME," and member PJ's solo track "SINKING." I will talk a little more about PJ in just a second.

Meanwhile, Big Ocean kicked off their first European tour on Saturday in Lausanne , Switzerland. Following that show, they will perform in a total of five cities, including Milan on the 23rd and London on the 24th.

AND for that exciting news you mentioned Soa, we have an interview with Big Ocean member PJ tomorrow on the show so DO NOT MISS THAT!

Yes we do! You should never miss a day of the Kulture Wave but especially not tomorrow.

And lastly, moving over to a K-animation film!

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated ticket sales network, the film "Exorcism Chronicles: The Beginning", which was released on February 21, surpassed a cumulative audience of 500,000 as of Saturday, ranking second in the 2025 animated box office overall.

Despite strong competition since its release, the animation has consistently drawn audiences, and though 500,000 might not seem like a large number, in terms of animated movies this is considered a remarkable success for a Korean animation targeted at adults.

The film is an occult blockbuster that depicts the beginning of an epic tale in which exorcists with special powers confront evil. It is based on the novel "Exorcism Chronicles" by author Lee Woo-hyuk , a legendary name in Korean fantasy literature.

Thank you for that news Walter, don't go anywhere and let's take a look at what our AI news presenter Ari has for us today, Ari, take it away!
