K-pop star Jin, a member of the supergroup BTS, recently participated as a torchbearer for South Korea at the Olympic torch relay for this year’s Games! So what happened?
With much hate and negativity in the world these days, Jin will take part in the Olympic Torch Relay to spread the message of "harmony" and "peace", I hope that with his fan base and influence, it will have some effect.
With every Olympic season being hosted in a new city, 2024 will see Paris, France being the host city for the worldwide infamous games. The flame light for the 2024 Paris games was actually lit in Olympia, Greece, which was actually the birthplace of the ancient Olympic games, and the flame has been lit since April 2024.
The flame, which has been traveling in a relay ever since will light the cauldron to mark the opening of the 2024 Summer Games. I remember when I was young, the Olympic torch passed through my city in the UK, for the year of the London Olympic games. I feel that there is a sense of nostalgia.
The flame is expected to be passed from hand to hand by some 10,000 torchbearers and reach the Olympic cauldron in Paris on July 26, where it will remain lit until the Closing Ceremony two weeks later.
Jin 2024 Paris Olympic Games Torchbearer moment!
Of course Jin is not the only torchbearer. He will be the torchbearer for his native South Korea. ARMYs have already taken to social media to post their videos, and review videos of this historic event, as well as express their excitement,
Jin has successfully carried the Olympic flame in Paris! When the day finally arrived, Jin proudly carried the Olympic flame, as the first torchbearer of the 2024 Paris Olympics, and this day also fell on Bastille Day, which is a major National Holiday in France. He carried the torch around 8:30 PM local time at the Pyramid of the Louvre Museum.
I truly believe that he did a great job, and with his success in South Korea and worldwide I am sure that this moment will be highly watched and shared many times over, so although there was probably a big feeling of pressure not to mess up for his country on an official level, I am sure that he will be happy with his success.
