Jul 15, 2024

The BTS team roared Paris, France.

On the 14th (local time), Jean embarked on a torch relay for the "2024 Paris Summer Olympics". This day added specialness in that it was the anniversary of the French Revolution. Through his agency Big Hit Music, Jin said "It's an honor to participate in such a meaningful moment. I was able to play a wonderful role as a torchbearer because there were ARMY (fandom name). Thank you very much." I was so nervous that I didn't know how time passed, but I was able to finish it as much as I could because many people in the field cheered me up," he said.

I also hope that all the Korean national team members who participated in the Olympics will achieve good results as much as they have worked hard, and I will support them with one heart. And I hope there will be a lot of interest in the '17th Paris Paralympic Games' to be held in August this year. Finally, "I will also work harder and show you good performance in the future."

The scene was crowded with people who gathered to cheer for Jin even before he appeared. Those gathered on the street could not hide their excitement, chanting his name while holding a banner emblazoned with gin. In particular, the atmosphere at the site reached its peak when the jin appeared on the streets of Rivoli. Jin, who appeared in the official white torch relay uniform, showed off his unrivaled visuals that illuminated Paris, and the moment he was handed an Olympic torch to a front runner who rode a bicycle, loud cheers and applause erupted in the street.

Jean was a runner connecting a meaningful section of Paris, continuing the torch relay from the intersection of Riboli Street to Carousel Square. Jean delivered a torch to Sandra Laura, a former member of France's freestyle skiing team, in front of the pyramids at the Louvre Museum. After the torch relay, which lasted about 10 minutes, he finished his role by waving his hands to the crowd gathered at the scene.

The torch relay for the '2024 Paris Summer Olympics' began in Olympia, Greece in April and will travel to 64 regions, including downtown France and beaches, by the day of the event on the 26th. Jin and torchbearers spread the message of 'harmony' and 'peace' while touring historic places symbolizing the host country.
