Raphael Rashid, a journalist, based in South Korea, tweeted the Instagram post, which states that Chris Martin has arrived in Korea, sparking speculation online as to the nature of their visit.

Other journalists chipped in as well, with a reporter from the Korea Herald retweeting the Instagram post and citing their sources.

Coldplay appears to have just arrived in South Korea via Incheon Airport? 👀

While the post in question indicates that Chris Martin may be in South Korea, there is no mention of the rest of the band being there or any mention of a BTS collab opening up speculation on other avenues.

Probably a greater chance of it being related to Younha's tease she posted a while back. https://t.co/Jrz8Q89yWu pic.twitter.com/IaXIN8eRpN

While the BTS fanbase campaigns for a musical collaboration between the two, the rest of the Korean Twitter seems adamant about bringing the movie "The Box" to the western band's attention and has flooded Coldplay mentions with the following tweets.

Welcome to Korea @coldplay! We hope you enjoy your stay and can watch the Korean movie “The Box”. Park #Chanyeol is the lead actor in the musical film, and has covered a rearranged version of your iconic song “A Sky Full of Stars” in the film! He is also a huge fan of yours!

Welcome to Korea @coldplay! Once your quarantine period is over, we hope you can take some time to watch @thebox_movie. A Sky Full of Stars was used in the film & the scene where it was used was one of the film's highlights. The lead actor, Park Chanyeol, is a big fan of yours.
