What began as a typical evening at a Coldplay concert has spiralled into one of the internet’s most talked-about moments this week—and not because of the band’s music.
During a recent show, a now-viral clip captured a rather unexpected interaction between Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot, sending social media into overdrive and even prompting a playful response from BTS member Jin.
In the video, which quickly made the rounds online, Byron and Cabot appeared to share a surprisingly intimate moment as the concert camera zoomed in on them during the performance.
Clearly caught off guard, Cabot instinctively covered her face, visibly flustered, while mouthing, “This is awkward.” The interaction, especially a particular ‘hug and duck’ gesture, became instant meme material, with viewers dissecting the clip from every angle.

The moment has been discussed across platforms—from TikTok edits to Reddit threads—raising eyebrows and drawing speculation about the nature of their relationship.
While no formal comment has been made by either party or Astronomer, the video’s virality shows no sign of slowing.
Even international celebrities have taken notice. During BTS member Jin’s RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR stop in Anaheim, California, fans managed to sneak the viral moment into the spotlight once again. While playing a game of charades with the audience, the word Coldplay appeared on screen, prompting cheers from ARMY fans familiar with both the band and the trending clip.

Jin, initially confused by their exaggerated gestures, quickly caught on. “Is it my bro?” he asked with a grin, referring to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
When fans responded with enthusiastic laughter, Jin couldn’t resist—he playfully re-enacted the now-famous moment, much to the delight of the crowd.
As the clip continues to gather millions of views, it’s clear this unexpected crossover between the tech world, pop music, and K-pop fandom has become an internet sensation no one saw coming.
