KPOP TOP boy band BTS‘ Jin will serve as a torchbearer at the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, marking a major milestone in his return to public life after his military service.
According to South Korea’s Dispatch, the 31-year-old singer will soon travel to France to take on this important role, with details of his participation yet to be disclosed. Jin, a key figure in the globally renowned BTS, will take part in the Olympic torch relay, a symbolic prelude to the grand event itself.
Jin, who recently completed his mandatory military service, held a special event for his fans, where 1,000 lucky attendees were selected by lottery to share a momentous hug with him. The move was intended to reconnect with BTS’s loyal fan base, ARMY, and coincided with the group’s debut anniversary celebrations.
In preparation for the Olympics, Jin updated fans through platforms such as Weverse, sharing insights from his ongoing music recordings and variety shows. His dedication to balancing these endeavors highlights his dedication to personal and professional development.
Notably, Jin and his BTS bandmates are active in the community, having hosted a notable free concert in Busan last October in support of the city’s bid for the 2030 World Expo. Shortly thereafter, all members began their military service, paving the way for their eventual reunion in 2025.
With anticipation growing for the 2024 Paris Olympics, scheduled to take place from July 26 to August 11, Jin’s participation as a torchbearer is expected to resonate globally, embodying the themes of unity and peace that the Games strive to promote.
Fans around the world are eagerly anticipating this momentous occasion, eagerly anticipating the role Jin will play in lighting the path to sporting excellence and international friendship.
