To add to the fans’ excitement finally, what happened behind the scenes in Paris on the historic day of Jin’s Paris Olympics torch relay has been revealed.
On August 11, 2024, a special BTS episode was revealed mapping the historic day when BTS’ Jin fulfilled his duty as South Korea’s torchbearer during the Paris Olympics 2024. The video shows Jin on the day of the torch relay in Paris and how he prepared for the significant moment and went through with it and also covers his entire torch relay in detail.

In the video, Jin revealed that while he was on his way to Paris for the torchbearer ceremony he thought he was not the person to do things like this, as he is not an “athlete or someone representing my country”. The BTS oldest added that it all happened because of the ARMYs, they “made it possible” for him to become torchbearer.
Jin gave credit to fans for his unforgettable Paris Olympics torchbearer experience and said he was “grateful” to them. He said “thank you” to all the fans and ARMYs for giving him the chance to be in such an “honorable place”.
Soon after the BTS member’s torch relay finished and he made his way back, Jin went on to say “Should I have glanced at it (torch) while walking?” It was his only regret that he did not glace on the torch while he walked his part of the path, but the Astronaut member dusted the feeling off by saying “That’s too bad” and understood that one will “always have regrets”.
