There’s some exciting news for ARMYs – BTS Jin (진) is reportedly set to be a torchbearer at the 2024 Summer Olympics! According to South Korean news agency Yonhap, sources have indicated that the Korean idol will participate in the upcoming Paris Olympics later this month as one of the torchbearers for the ceremony. The K-pop star is expected to travel to France soon to take part in the torch relay.

However, news outlets noted that the exact location and schedule for his participation have not yet been disclosed. BTS’ agency HYBE has addressed the reports of the eldest member becoming a torchbearer at the Paris Olympics, emphasising that any official announcements related to the Olympics can only be made after a detailed consultation with the International Olympic Committee (IOC).  A representative from the agency stated, “We will soon clarify our position on the torch relay.”

Given that BTS is a group with immense influence not only in South Korea and Asia, but across the globe, the celebrity is a great choice for the prestigious torch relay. Torchbearers are selected by Olympic sponsors and organizers based on their significant contributions to their community. 

The 31-year-old idol recently made headlines by becoming the first member of BTS to complete his mandatory military service. As a celebration for his discharge, the boy band reunited for a private celebration at the HYBE headquarters in Seoul. Jin also commemorated BTS’ 11th anniversary with a fan meeting, also held as part of their annual ‘Festa’ celebrations.
