BTS's RM is said to have presented a PPT Presentation to HYBE executives to propose a change in the company policy regarding NFTs

Momentica, a non-fungible token (NFT) platform created by Dunamu, the operator of Korea's number 1 virtual asset exchange, and HYBE, is showing poor performance. This is a disappointing and painful result considering that it is an ambitious work that Song Chi Hyung, the chairman of Dunamu, had planned.

Momentica is a platform that trades virtual assets that can restrict users' transactions at any time according to the judgment of Levels (a joint venture between Dunamu and HYBE) and blocks screen capture at the source. Analysts say that it is not well received by both crypto investors and idol fans because it adheres to a centrally controlled operating policy.

Additionally, one of the most significant variables to Momentica is BTS, which is the biggest influence among HYBE artists. BTS has a substantial impact on their agency, and it is said that leader RM had made a PPT (PowerPoint) presentation to HYBE executives to change the company's policies on NFTs and it received favorable responses.

BTS's fandom, ARMY, has also strongly opposed HYBE's NFT business. They stated that when issuing NFTs, carbon is emitted and can pollute the environment. This is why Levels separately emphasized that it utilizes a low-carbon emission blockchain that effectively uses little power.

I'm happy that their solo projects are going well, but I do miss all the guys performing together, whether it's a concert or 'Run BTS' or even just goofing around during each other's Weverse Lives.

I know it will never be the same in the future, that their individual commitments will need to be balanced with any group activities. Though I don't find their solo projects as engaging as their group efforts where they have to meld their varying preferences and influences. It's actually fascinating to see that while their solo activities may reflect more of the artists' personal commitments and interests, that it is in the group where they have to ascertain each other and factor their differences, that they are able to produce the more engaging songs and performances. I think it is because the members are both musical and opinionated and able to express both to each other that their syntheses are so much stronger.

Which isn't to say that I don't support the individual efforts. It's just to say that it makes me appreciate their group efforts that much more to see what they are doing individually and how good their individual endeavors.

Coldplay members wear the Wootteo badges created by #Jin in the preview for the Saturday Night Live

Coldplay is coming back with a new album called "Moon music" soon, and they're starting up promotions.

It caught the fans' attention that a few Coldplay members, Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland, were wearing Wootteo badges on their clothes in the preview for the Saturday Night Live episode.

As we all know, BTS' Jin is very close to Chris and the rest of the Coldplay members. The senior artists are very selective with the artists they work with, so Jin becoming almost the 5th member of them says a lot about him as an artist.

Chris complimented Jin's lyrical skills and his vocals. Ever since the artists met each other, Chris Martin has been constantly bringing Jin up in every interview. The artists' vision on music and life itself are similar in many ways.

Their joined stage in Argentina became a majestic experience for thousands of people, and the Wootteo plushie (that Jin gave them) became an actual talisman at Coldplay's concerts.

It seems like the members wanted to show their love and support to Jin, who is now serving as a training assistant in the military.

Fans also remembered how Chris gifted Jin a bunch of "Love" badges a year ago. It means they have a strong connection.

Coldplay performed 'The Astronaut' live on the US tv show "Saturday Night Live". They even had Wootteo hanging out next to the drum kit just like in Buenos Aires. They did a fantastic performance... but, I miss Jin. I hope he is well.

Even more interesting, Coldplay's second song that they performed was a mash up of 'Human Heart' and 'Fix You'. And, of course, BTS did a cover of 'Fix You' on their MTV Unplugged performance. So here is Coldplay on "SNL".

And, here is BTS' cover of 'Fix You' long before anyone even dreamed that Coldplay and BTS would ever collab.
