BTS' Jin showcased his certificate and the ring he received during the torch relay in the Paris Olympics 2024

On July 14, 2024, BTS' Jin carried the torch for the 2024 Summer Olympics held at the Louvre Museum in Paris. He participated as the first runner at the Louvre Museum section of the relay in Paris around 8:00 pm and was welcomed by the huge crowd showcasing encouragement and support for the idol.

In return, the idol acknowledged the fan's presence by smiling and waving. He completed the relay and carried the torch of peace.

BTS' Jin expressed his gratitude for the fans who appeared at the event, which in turn transformed into strength for the idol.

BTS' Jin reasoned why he could not run during the torch relay and stated, as translated by @miiniyongs:

"I wanted to run, but there's a time set for the torch relay for each person so I walked. It was a 1.5km walk, and it wasn't heavy, and it wasn't too hot. But it felt a bit longer than expected. I didn't know how to show my facial expressions. I wanted to smile, but I was a bit nervous but I'm happy overall since I was able to wrap it up well. Thank you so much for giving me an opportunity that is a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
