On the 12th, Olympics.com reported, "JIN will appear as the first relay runner in the Louvre section of the torch relay in Paris on the 14th," and "The torch relay will begin at around 8:30 p.m.
It is expected that he will run through the section he is responsible for, starting from the Pyramid at the Table Museum." This is the first time that JIN's relay schedule has been revealed.
The torch relay is one of the key pre-Olympic events marking the start of the Games and is traditionally attended by sports stars and celebrities from the host country.
There will be approximately 11,000 runners in this year's Olympic torch relay, including Prince Albert II of Monaco, actress Halle Berry, soccer star Didier Drogba, and survivors of Nazi concentration camps.
It was revealed that participants will come from a variety of professions, including survivors, astronauts, and environmental beautifiers. This is the first time that a Korean singer has been selected as a torch relay runner at an Olympic Games held overseas.
It is presumed that the reason given was that BTS has gained popularity not only in Asia but also around the world, and has continued to convey messages about peace even after their debut.
Meanwhile, JIN departed from Incheon International Airport to Paris, France on the morning of the 11th to participate in the torch relay.
