BTS’ Jin to carry Olympic torch

BTS member Jin will serve as South Korea's torchbearer at 2024 Paris Olympics.

After finishing his military service last month, Jin has been selected as a torchbearer for the Paris Olympics kicking off this month and is expected to depart for France.

His selection is seen as a recognition of BTS’ global popularity and the group’s message of ‘love yourself’ underscored over the years through their music and speeches, including at the UN.
