BTS member Jin was named as a 2024 Paris Olympics torchbearer to spread a message of ‘harmony and peace’
The 31-year-old singer is set to act as a torchbearer from his native country during the Olympic Torch Relay in Paris for this year’s Olympic Games. A statement from BTS’ agency, HYBE, noted that Jin will take part in the ceremony to “spread the message of ‘harmony’ and ‘peace,’” multiple outlets reported.
The official Olympic website says that torchbearers are chosen 'based on their commitment, dedication and how they embody at least one of the core tenets of Paris 2024.' “I cried during the ceremony,” Jin said during a livestream following his release. “But it was so fun for the last year and six months. It’s such a relief I met so many amazing people.”
In October 2022, BIGHIT MUSIC announced that BTS would be on hiatus until “around 2025” so band members can complete their military service.
