On September 16, 2024, French journalist Louise Aubery delighted fans with a behind-the-scenes look at her interview with BTS' Jin, who was in Paris for the 2024 Olympics torch relay. In the 12-minute and 48-second video, titled "I Interviewed Jin from BTS (and I'll Tell You What It Was Like)," (as translated by Google), Aubery shares the extensive preparation that went into the interview.

The BTS star was a key figure at the Paris Olympics as a torchbearer. The behind-the-scenes footage revealed Aubery's meticulous efforts to ensure a smooth and engaging interview. In the video, Aubery reflected on the experience, noting that she would have never believed it if someone had told her she would be interviewing one of K-pop's biggest stars. She said,

"If someone had told me I was going to interview one of Kpop's biggest stars, I'd never have believed them."

Despite her French background, Aubery chose to interview in Korean, Jin’s native language, which also garnered significant praise from fans.
