BTS’s Jin has brought excitement to Paris in the lead-up to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games! Jin participated in the Summer Olympics torch relay for Paris 2024 on July 14, Bastille Day.
He expressed his gratitude through his agency, BIGHIT MUSIC, saying:
“It is an honor to be part of such a significant moment. It was because of ARMY, BTS’s fan group, that I could perform the amazing duty of torchbearer. Thank you so much.”
He added, “I was so nervous that time flew by, but I completed it to the best of my ability thanks to the immense support from many people on site.”
Additionally, he expressed his aspirations for the Korean national team, saying:
“I hope that all of the Korean athletes competing in the Olympics achieve tremendous success for their dedication, and I will support them wholeheartedly. I also hope there will be much interest in the 17th Paris Paralympic Games this August.
In the future, I’ll keep working harder and trying to impress.”
Memorable event
Jin was a torchbearer who linked important pathways for relays from the Avenue Rivoli crossroads to the Place Carrousel in Paris. In front of the Louvre Pyramid, he handed the torch to Sandra Laoura, a former national freestyle skier for France.
After the torch relay, which lasted about 10 minutes, Jin waved goodbye to the crowd gathered for the event.
Starting in Olympia, Greece, in April of last year, the torch relay for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will pass through 64 locations, including French cities and coastal regions, before the opening ceremony.
