Jin recently completed his mandatory military service, marking him as the first BTS member to do so. During the torch relay, Jin donned a white jersey as he carried the Olympic torch with pride.
The torch relay, starting from Greece’s Temple of Hera and passing through 60 locations, arrived in Paris on Sunday, coinciding with Bastille Day. After its grand entrance, the torch will travel through various landmarks in Paris. It will then venture out to different provinces before making its way back to Paris for the highly anticipated opening ceremony on July 26th.
