ROS? and Coldplay perform 'APT.' live
While many fans were puzzled by ROS?¡¯s appearance with Coldplay ¡ª unlike BTS Jin, who collaborated with the band on My Universe and The Astronaut ¡ª there¡¯s actually a connection that explains her presence on stage.
Both ROS? and Coldplay are signed to Atlantic Records, with the BLACKPINK singer joining the label's global lineup in September 2024, alongside artists like Bruno Mars as well.
