The pop star will be the torchbearer from South Korea
BTS’ Jin will represent South Korea as a torchbearer during the Paris 2024 Olympic Torch Relay. While the specific schedule is yet to be disclosed, the K-pop superstar will appear to spread “harmony” and “pace.”
BTS has been touted as 21st century pop icons, making an indelible impact on the global music scene. Beyond music, they have expanded their global influence and message of positivity through various efforts, including speaking at the UN General Assembly in 2018 and 2021, continuing the Love Myself campaign with UNICEF since 2017, and more.
The Torch Relay for the Paris 2024 Olympics began in April in Olympia, Greece, and is currently traveling through 65 territories all across France until the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Jin and the other torchbearers are scheduled to go across various historic sites of the host country.
From Marseille to Paris, passing through the French overseas territories, the Olympic flame will follow an epic route never seen before! For almost three months, through July 26th, 10,000 Olympic Torchbearers will meet French people in over 400 towns and cities, including five overseas regions (French Guiana, Reunion Island, French Polynesia, Guadeloupe, and Martinique) before the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony.
