During his solo concert in Anaheim as part of the much-anticipated RunSeokjin Ep. Tour, ‘chronically offline’ Jin had fans roaring with laughter when he unexpectedly referenced the viral cheating drama from a recent Coldplay concert that’s been lighting up social media.

Taking a break between songs, Jin invited the crowd to play charades. When ‘Coldplay’  popped up on the screen, the audience joined in with reenactments of the now-infamous moment from a Massachusetts Coldplay show — where a couple caught on the kiss-cam sparked wild cheating rumors.

At first, Jin looked puzzled as fans mimicked the awkward ‘hug and duc’  move from the clip. But when he caught on, he burst out laughing and cheekily asked, “Is it my bro?” — a playful nod to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, with whom Jin shares a close friendship after their collaboration in South Korea this April.

Fans couldn’t help flooding social media, saying ‘Even Jin knows’. But The truth is, many fans pointed out that Jin would be the ‘first’ to know, given his close friendship with Chris Martin. “Chris would have texted him first to check Twitter,” one fan said. “Chris told him obviously,” another added.

What actually happened at the concert

In case you missed it: At the Massachusetts show, the jumbotron zoomed in on a couple who were hugging, and then quickly ducked and hid their faces. Chris Martin joked, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy,” unaware of the brewing drama.

Internet revealed the couple , Andy Byron, CEO of software company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company’s head of HR, are both married, but to other people. This sparked a wide range of discussion on HR, cheating, and power plays, as well as memes, of course. Neither party has commented, but their body language fueled cheating rumors across social media.
