About BTS Jin

Boy band BTS member Jin scripted history as he became the first Korean singer to participate as the torchbearer at the Paris Olympics 2024. The eldest member among the septet kicked off the torch relay at the Louvre Pyramid Museum. BigHit took to X, formerly Twitter, and shared a picture of Jin holding the torch and wearing white athleisure.

While speaking to a media outlet, Jin said, “I am so honoured to be able to participate in the torch relay. And to the ARMYs, who made it possible for me to bear the torch, I really want to express my sincere gratitude.”

A viral video showed the organizers playing “Super Tuna” before the ceremony could commence. Fans gathered to watch Jin in person cheered as loudly as they could for their favourite idol, which led to him bursting into laughter and joining in by clapping his hands in the air.

At the Paris Olympics 2024, South Korea has sent approximately 142 athletes to compete in 21 sports such as badminton, taekwondo, archery, and fencing, among others. The torch relay began in April. The Paris Olympics began on July 26 and will conclude on August 11.
