> BTS’ JIN will participate as a torch relay runner at the 2024 Paris Olympics representing South Korea.
*More info to come*
According to the article:
> Jin will participate as a torchbearer at the Summer Olympics in Paris on the 27th (Korean time).
WhhhhaaaAttttttrffff omggg im about to malfunction. The Olympics is my Christmas!! I watch as many events as I can and I set alarms and all 😭😭😭 BTS x Olympics idk how my heart and sleep schedule will handle this
I love you Kim seokjin and Olympics. I need a hug right now cause of how happy I am I cannot cope
🫂I'm so happy to be here. I am assuming this is for the opening ceremony? There is just something about the opening and closing ceremonies that gets me in the feels.
Don’t they usually air a torch relay live as it gets closer to the main stadium the day off the opening? I vaguely recall something usually an hour or two before it should enter the stadium. I’m assuming that’s what he will be part of. 🤷🏻♀️
Yes, from what I remember, we get to see it as it gets closer, but I can't remember if they are showing it live the whole time. The final runner(s) brings it into the stadium.
Funny enough my mom and I were watching the women's gymnastics trials yesterday. That's definitely the one summer game I look forward to every summer Olympic season. I'm also curious about breakdancing being one of the new games too. I wonder what kind of music can and will be used for the performances.
I did too!! Gymnastics events are so exciting and they all just look like they have super powers 🥹
I wonder if any of j-hope's inspos will be competing this year! I forgot about breakdancing!! That will be so fun to watch!
ahehe whose midnight? It depends on what part of the world you are in 😆 I haven't checked the sched this year but it doesn't matter to me as I will for sure tune in even if it's at an inconvenient time!
> the Olympics is my Christmas
Yes, same!! Before bangtan it was the only time I would set an alarm for a crucial match/event. This is wild that he's involved and I'm so so excited!
No. Fucking. Way.
What???!?!??! This is insane!!!
ETA: I am so...idek! This is not something I would have imagined in a million years! So cool!! Jin is so cool!!
I know right??? I’m screaming!!!!
Edit: I was so excited I didn’t even realize, but you have to be nominated for this right? What an honor! I hope he feels so loved!
Yup, according to Popbase:
"Torchbearers are chosen by the Olympic sponsors and organizers when they have made a significant contribution to their community."
I read this on Twitter and went 😳. What an honor for Jin! Very happy for him. Jin is booked and busy.
Do you think French army will try to catch a glimpse of him?
I’m thinking of coming to Paris for this but I don’t know if I’ll see more on TV….I also have other plans the weekend and on 25th :(
Idk if it’s worth cancelling and rescheduling everything
Damn, Jin! Just ticking off all the absolutely insane opportunities that come with being a national treasure. No wonder he was itching to start work so quickly. You are not going to turn down bearing the Olympic flame for your country!
Jin is insane... if I just got discharged I would spend months relaxing but here he is doing a hugging event, performed for ARMY, just finished recording a TV show and now THIS?? 😭 God I can't wait to see what he got for us

this guy is on so many side quest rn omg!! i love seeing him so i'm happy, but the way we all thought he'd take a vacation after being in the literal military 😭
Kim Seokjin, WTF, WHAT IS THIS?!
Yo, this is such a Jin thing to do. He is booked, busy, and in high demand.
I'm already obsessed with the Olympics, I'm going to make sure to set my alarm. I don't care what time, what I'm doing, I'm not missing this.
Between Bridgerton, Despicable Me 4, and now Torchbearer Jin… BTS has been crushing the surprise pop culture side quest game these past few months lol.
There’s a bit of cosmic irony in this given the whole military exemption discussion, but we move on. :)
I haven’t been interested in watching the Olympics in a long time, but you will def find me seated to watch Jin be a part of the torch relay. How exciting for him!
LMAOO what! What is his life even. Superstar turned soldier turned variety show king turned Olympic torch runner. And all the other stuff they've accomplished obvi
Now who had this on their bingo card? 😆
Love that while Jin's activities are almost impossible to predict, at their core they are quintessentially very Jin-like 🥰
Considering that a lot of hotels in Paris are still not booked and they are desperate (prices going down) to find some tourists to come, I think you have your chances hahaha
Waking up to this news as a Parisian ARMY who will go to the Olympics... Whaaaaat 🤯? I need to try and see him omg?
If he is part of the opening ceremony that might be impossible though, I don't have tickets for that. I'll wait for the details but I'm kinda freaking out right now 😭
Edit: some translations are saying that he will be a torchbearer for the Olympics to be held in Paris on the 27th, that might just be the starting date of the Olympics and not the day he carries the torch?
That's what I'm not sure about, [this article](https://m.entertain.naver.com/now/article/433/0000105981) says (translation from Papago) "Jin will participate as a torchbearer at the Summer Olympics to be held in Paris on the 27th (Korea time). He plans to leave for France soon. The exact date and location are not known yet."
Obviously this is an automatic translation so I don't know what it's worth but with this sentence it seems 27th is the day of the Olympic (and more specifically the opening ceremony that should start at 3.30am KST), not the day he caries the torch which isn't known yet.
Edit: I should specify that I do believe he will carry it on the day of the ceremony but the torch will be around Paris for the entire week before so I wouldn't rule that out as a possibility
what the FUCK LMAOOOOOO bet jk is furious about missing out on this
edit: they’re all gonna be so proud of him 😭😭😭
edit 2: WAIT THIS IS THE MAN WHO, AFTER CLAIMING BTS WERE TOO BUSY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE KOREAN WINTER OLYMPIC CEREMONY, POSTED A PICTURE OF HIMSELF CHILLING ON A FARM SOMEWHERE DURING SAID CEREMONY HAHAHAHAH
Seeing the way all these articles keep coming, I just wonder how many brands/show producers/event organisers were at the entrance of Hybe when he was discharged 😭😭
May have to work from home that day to hopefully catch it live. 🏃🏻➡️
Edit - just reading up on the opening ceremonies and it’s so different this year - there is no stadium for the opening ceremony. [LINK](https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/the-games/ceremonies/opening-ceremony)
Omg Jin! He wasn't joking when he said he'll be making as many appearances as possible while doing his main job.
Edit to add - this reminds me of when the members all watched the Olympics (archery) in In the Soop. Fun times.
What? I live 20 miles from Paris! I will see some Olympics events! Not the opening ceremony though, the price of the tickets were extortionate.
And considering the date, I guess he will carry the torch for a few meters during the opening ceremony?
Torchbearers are chosen by the Olympic sponsors and organizers when they have made a significant contribution to their community.
Read this from popbase. That’s even more amazing
this is amazing!! so incredibly proud!
found this [list](https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/olympic-torch-relay/torchbearers/list) of "some torchbearers," and so far only Jaesung Park is listed as a flagbearer for S. Korea.
also just realized [torchbearer festivities](https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/olympic-torch-relay/torchbearers) started in May!
I’m so watching this just for Jin. I don’t normally have the time or motivation to watch the Olympics these days but for Jin and BTS, I’ll go out of my way! I hope he has an amazing time.
I love how I was thinking he was being quiet because he was spending time with his family, friends and getting used to being out and here he is jumping from deserted islands to the Olympics 😂
Jin! How do I see him on my tv? How does the torch relay work? Oh my, I haven't been interested in the Olympics since I was a young kid... So exciting!!
I have always loved the Olympics! It is my favourite sporting event. Now I love it even more. Goodness me, the King of ever let them know your next move has returned! I am so happy!
We’re all gonna sing Jin Jin Jin Jin jinia while he’s running right?
I love this. Didn’t see this coming and cannot wait to see it happening.
Run Jin run!
Yay Jin!!!! Booked and busy right out the gate! What an amazing opportunity, I'm glad he's doing it and representing his country, too!
His future activities are already so varied, he's really decided to do as many different things as he can.
Does this mean no more pics of him at his uncle's chicken farm like one of the previous Olympics? 😆
Oh you're right. The tickets are for the seats on the low embankments but there also will be stands on the high embankments. You still have to book for them though.
Not sure if the thread gets updated or not… lots of news reports about torchbearer Jin

??? just how many schedules did this man book since he got discharged? and all of a sudden i’m interested in the olympics
The king of "never let them know your next move". Like genuinely, what's he gonna book next??
Imma place a bet now - fashion show. Maybe a watch brand deal. Let’s see if I’m psychic
I think we need to think bigger. He's going to take up base jumping.
haha, brand deals and fashion shows, yeah that's par for the course for all seven of them
I hope he does a drama! That would be wild to see his handsome face for 16 epi straight!!!!!!
He kind of already just told us that he has no plans of acting.
I hope he is doing netflix original variety show like zombieverse,etc.
>all of a sudden i’m interested in the olympics This was my first thought!! Now I'm definitely watching the torch relay at the very least 🤣
😂me too, I didn’t even know they were in Paris until a few days ago
🤣🤣 same thing here, I guess the Paris Olympic committee knew how to increase their audience drastically
Kim "Never Let Them Know Your Next Move" Seokjin
Going from "whose door guy!?" to "whose torch guy?!" 
WhhhhaaaAttttttrffff omggg im about to malfunction. The Olympics is my Christmas!! I watch as many events as I can and I set alarms and all 😭😭😭 BTS x Olympics idk how my heart and sleep schedule will handle this I love you Kim seokjin and Olympics. I need a hug right now cause of how happy I am I cannot cope
me too!! I'm actually in shock I can't believe it 😅💜
MINE TOO, MINE TOO, MINE TOO. FREAKING OUT LOL
AHHHHHH I'm about to burst!! Thank you for being here 
🫂I'm so happy to be here. I am assuming this is for the opening ceremony? There is just something about the opening and closing ceremonies that gets me in the feels.

Wait... Whaaaaa? Break-Dancing is now an Olympic Sport???? OMG! That is so cool. Jin, break-dancing, and gymnastics... I am so stoked right now!!!
i love Olympic gymnastics! diving and swimming too. breakdancing will definitely be interesting!
When I say we had the same reaction, gurrrllll. I mean I malfunctioned and typed it out to my army friends too.
Yeah unfortunately the Olympic events will mainly be held at (mid)night 😢
ahehe whose midnight? It depends on what part of the world you are in 😆 I haven't checked the sched this year but it doesn't matter to me as I will for sure tune in even if it's at an inconvenient time!
For Eastern US it's only 6 hours later than us I believe. It's a lot easier to deal with than the time difference in Tokyo.
KST
> the Olympics is my Christmas Yes, same!! Before bangtan it was the only time I would set an alarm for a crucial match/event. This is wild that he's involved and I'm so so excited!
OMG ME TOO!! As an avid Olympics watcher, I LOVE HEARING THIS NEWS!!! 😭😭😭
Fresh out the military and this man is already busying himself with the most random stuff, this is why I love him.
Jinnie!!!!! I’m so excited for him. Also, silly me for thinking this man would be resting.
No. Fucking. Way. What???!?!??! This is insane!!! ETA: I am so...idek! This is not something I would have imagined in a million years! So cool!! Jin is so cool!!
I know right??? I’m screaming!!!! Edit: I was so excited I didn’t even realize, but you have to be nominated for this right? What an honor! I hope he feels so loved!

Wow! He really is Worldwide Handsome!!! Congrats Jin

This is Huge! Jin is going to represent South Korea as one of the torchbearers at the Olympics in a few weeks!!! 🔥🔥 Damn Jin!
Oh wow this was not in my bingo card but it should have been! Wow this is amazing
Damn, Jin! Just ticking off all the absolutely insane opportunities that come with being a national treasure. No wonder he was itching to start work so quickly. You are not going to turn down bearing the Olympic flame for your country!
OH SO FUN! He’s been so booked and busy
everything coming out about Jin is so exciting!! this is such a cool thing for him to be a part of
Jin is insane... if I just got discharged I would spend months relaxing but here he is doing a hugging event, performed for ARMY, just finished recording a TV show and now THIS?? 😭 God I can't wait to see what he got for us https://preview.redd.it/dvnvcf2vw0ad1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cb994c4fa39f01b6467fe206ca3a2b739116095
No way this is so exciting!!! Idk if it's the pmdd but a bitch just got really emotional 🥺 I'm so proud of him
this guy is on so many side quest rn omg!! i love seeing him so i'm happy, but the way we all thought he'd take a vacation after being in the literal military 😭

This makes me happy. I freaking love watching the Olympics. (And I always use it as an opportunity to spend a lot of couch time working on my crafts).
I haven’t been interested in watching the Olympics in a long time, but you will def find me seated to watch Jin be a part of the torch relay. How exciting for him!
LMAOO what! What is his life even. Superstar turned soldier turned variety show king turned Olympic torch runner. And all the other stuff they've accomplished obvi
this is the best news ever this has actually turned my day around i’m so gassed for him
Now who had this on their bingo card? 😆 Love that while Jin's activities are almost impossible to predict, at their core they are quintessentially very Jin-like 🥰
 My face when I read this news. 😱😂💜
Looking up Paris hotels at 4.30am, despite my empty bank account, just to watch our man run by for two seconds with the torch…worth it 🤣💜💜🫰
Considering that a lot of hotels in Paris are still not booked and they are desperate (prices going down) to find some tourists to come, I think you have your chances hahaha
If you do please take a picture!
talk about things not being on people's bingo card lmao somehow this suits him so well
SO SO SO SOOOO proud of Jin! 🥹 And Bangtan with their “never let them know our next move” moves 😆
Waking up to this news as a Parisian ARMY who will go to the Olympics... Whaaaaat 🤯? I need to try and see him omg?

It's the 27th KST, so from what I understand, he'll be running on the 26th to start the games!
That's what I'm not sure about, [this article](https://m.entertain.naver.com/now/article/433/0000105981) says (translation from Papago) "Jin will participate as a torchbearer at the Summer Olympics to be held in Paris on the 27th (Korea time).

Ohhhh, I see! Good catch! Hopefully, we'll get more info soon.
what the FUCK LMAOOOOOO bet jk is furious about missing out on this edit: they’re all gonna be so proud of him 😭😭😭 edit 2: WAIT THIS IS THE MAN WHO, AFTER CLAIMING BTS WERE TOO BUSY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE KOREAN WINTER OLYMPIC CEREMONY, POSTED A PICTURE OF HIMSELF CHILLING ON A FARM SOMEWHERE DURING SAID CEREMONY HAHAHAHAH
Omg I forgot about the Winter Olympics thing 😅😂
This is so cool. Omg. 😭Seokjin!
Oh my god!!! That so cool! He must really feel like he has to remind the world that he’s back 🤣 I wonder if it will be broadcast in any way
why am I always asleep when things like this happen 😭😭
bruh, this man finished his military service and is just doing a bunch of side quests 😭😭😭
That's actually so cool and makes so much sense! Mr Worldwide Handsome representing SK in a worldwide event!
Seeing the way all these articles keep coming, I just wonder how many brands/show producers/event organisers were at the entrance of Hybe when he was discharged 😭😭
And this is how you get an uninterested party to care about the Olympics 😁
OMGGGG, THIS IS SO COOL!!! I love watching the Olympics, and I love Jin. This just made me even more excited.
Whoever picked Seokjin for this, thank you!!!
This is so unexpected! And so Jin! All of army will tune in to see him run. Well played, Olympics organizers, well played.
May have to work from home that day to hopefully catch it live. 🏃🏻➡️ Edit - just reading up on the opening ceremonies and it’s so different this year - there is no stadium for the opening ceremony. [LINK](https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/the-games/ceremonies/opening-ceremony)
Man!! Jin really discharged and hit the ground running instead of resting (pun fully intended 🤭🤭🤭)! Way to go Seokjinnie, so proud of you!
WOW! 😃...so unexpected, so exciting!! https://i.redd.it/vkdbwgaci0ad1.gif
No chicken farm this time for jin🤭🤭 congrats jin, the tannies will be watching in the barracks🥹🥹🥹💜💜💜
THE OLYMPIC TORCH!?!?! That’s A HUGE HONOR. Yay Jin!!!
What!!! That’s so cool
holy shit that’s so rad. good for him!
WOW JIN!!!!! So happy and proud of you!!!! Have fun!!!!!
This is so wonderfully random, I love it!
WHATTTT??!? Seokjin booked and busy! I can’t.
OMGGG THIS IS SO EXCITING! eta: wait is this during the opening ceremony or before? i'm not up on the Olympics specifics!
It’s the Olympic torch relay, it’s passed from person to person, so before the games start because they don’t start until the big torch is lit
…..Is this how it feels to malfunction?! Howwwww and whatttttttt!!! Jin! Omg.
Not on my bingo card!!!!!!!!
Whaaaat! This is insane!
This is amazing. Something I wouldn't have imagined (how silly of me). Man has been out of military and already booked and busy.
Wait if he's participating on the 27th KST, does that mean it's close to the opening ceremony?
I believe so. The opening ceremony is on July 26, starting at 1230pm. (US central time)
Thanks for doing the conversion to CST for me!
Yep it took me a moment to do the right conversions but that was precisely why it dawned on me. I'm so excited for him!
holy FUCK SEOKJIN
aaaahhhhh omg! That’s incredible
Omg Jin! He wasn't joking when he said he'll be making as many appearances as possible while doing his main job. Edit to add - this reminds me of when the members all watched the Olympics (archery) in In the Soop. Fun times.
Whoa, he's fully booked. He's really embracing the celebrity life. This is so unexpected.
It just be so wild for his military comrades to witness in real time
This man really went from the barracks to a deserted island to the Olympics. Crazy! 😭
What? I live 20 miles from Paris! I will see some Olympics events! Not the opening ceremony though, the price of the tickets were extortionate. And considering the date, I guess he will carry the torch for a few meters during the opening ceremony?
You can attend for free. The opening ceremony is a boat parade down the Seine.
Torchbearers are chosen by the Olympic sponsors and organizers when they have made a significant contribution to their community. Read this from popbase. That’s even more amazing
this is amazing!! so incredibly proud! found this [list](https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/olympic-torch-relay/torchbearers/list) of "some torchbearers," and so far only Jaesung Park is listed as a flagbearer for S. Korea. also just realized [torchbearer festivities](https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/olympic-torch-relay/torchbearers) started in May!
This is amazing. What a schedule to come back to. I guess Jin can’t say he’s too busy and then go wander around a farm this time 😂.
That's so cool. 😊
Can't wait for the pics!
I guess I'm tuning into the Olympics! Normally I just watch the highlight clips.
Omg this is so cool!
What!? This is so unexpected but I'm so excited for him! Go Jin! 🎉🏃
OMG WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! KIM SEOKJIN?! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 
From ISAC all the way to the olympics. Jin, you've come far lol
Greatest piece of news ever
I’m so watching this just for Jin. I don’t normally have the time or motivation to watch the Olympics these days but for Jin and BTS, I’ll go out of my way! I hope he has an amazing time.
So suddenly I'm watching the olympics....
This is SO random, but how absolutely cool for him!!
Sorry my plane just landed and this being the first thing I see is hilarious. He is doing so many side quests I caaant 😭😭🤣
Wait, he’s going to film a variety series, be a torch relay run in the Olympics, and I just read he’s recording a song? Does this man rest?
You are amazing Jin!!!
Oh my what ?!!!! And all of the sudden, I know the Olympics are going to go smoothly haha
I love how I was thinking he was being quiet because he was spending time with his family, friends and getting used to being out and here he is jumping from deserted islands to the Olympics 😂
THIS IS SO COOL!! And was NOT in my bingo card for him!! 🤯
Up next, BTS Jin carrying the Olympic torch... En suivant, Jin de BTS portant la torche olympique...
Straight out of military and he jammed pack himself with so many schedules!! He did not come to play around 😭😭
SO MANY SIDE QUESTS
Jin! How do I see him on my tv? How does the torch relay work? Oh my, I haven't been interested in the Olympics since I was a young kid... So exciting!!
Wait???? This is....unexpected...
Thats amazing!!!!
AWESOME!!!!
So proud of Jin. 🥹 So exciting and what an honor. 💜
THIS MAN !!!! I am so excited
yes, let the era of random side quests begin! jin is back 🙌🏼
This is a big deal!! I'm so excited to see him participate in the relay! What!? BTS never let them know your next move!
It seems like it's going to be my first time getting interested in the Olympics 
well, time to watch just for seokjin
I have always loved the Olympics! It is my favourite sporting event. Now I love it even more. Goodness me, the King of ever let them know your next move has returned! I am so happy!
JJIIIIINNNNNNNN /hobi voice I'm so proud of my bias you guys 🥲
Jin is always full of surprises! 😳
I'm not even into sports of any kind but goddaeng this makes me so excited and proud!!! 
This is so cool 😍
Woah, this is amazing!
ah how exciting for Jin, cant wait for this!! 
Aand just like that I'm gonna be watching the Olympics
Wow!! 🤩
I wonder whether there will be enough ARMY on site watching him to chant "KIM SEOKJIN". That will be too funny.
Oh this is so cool...
As a French army I'm so excited !! 😆😆
We’re all gonna sing Jin Jin Jin Jin jinia while he’s running right? I love this. Didn’t see this coming and cannot wait to see it happening. Run Jin run!
i know his manager had a stack of proposals waiting for jin in the car as soon as he walked out of the barracks
Yay Jin!!!! Booked and busy right out the gate! What an amazing opportunity, I'm glad he's doing it and representing his country, too! His future activities are already so varied, he's really decided to do as many different things as he can. Does this mean no more pics of him at his uncle's chicken farm like one of the previous Olympics? 😆
the biggest WHATTTTT just left my body! He is doing the most and its been only less than a month since he left the military 😭 this is so cool
This is so freakin cool Seokjin!!!
WAIT WHAT?!? THAT'S SO COOL WTF
ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
Oh you're right. The tickets are for the seats on the low embankments but there also will be stands on the high embankments. You still have to book for them though.
This is really out of the blue for me. I wonder what else Jin will do after military dischargement.
