The South Korean singer Jin, a member of the uber-popular K-pop group BTS, was discharged from the military on June 12. As Jin walked through the Army Division, BTS members RM, J-hope, V, Jungkook, Jimin and Suga gave him a warm welcome.
Now, the 31-year-old singer is reportedly expected to represent South Korea in the torch relay in hopes of spreading the message of “harmony” and “peace,” according to a statement from his talent agency.
Per tradition, the Olympic torch is first lit in Olympia, Greece, where the games originated. The torch’s journey began on April 16 and is currently making its way to France in time for the Olympics.
#JIN will officially be honouring the Olympics this year and joining the list of legendary personalities of torch bearers
