BTS's Jin made a surprise appearance on the live broadcast of the Korea-Czech Republic World Cup match, captivating audiences with his dazzling visuals.

On June 12, as the Group A match between South Korea and the Czech Republic took place in the '2026 FIFA North American World Cup' to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, Brazilian sports channel CazéTV broadcast the game and featured a life-sized cardboard cutout of Jin. The broadcast team conducted the coverage while standing arm-in-arm with the cutout.

During the broadcast of the Korea vs. Czech Republic match, a figure identified as Han Guk-eul (CEO) representing Jin, and the uniform of Czech national team goalkeeper Ondřej Štánek, who represents the Czech Republic, were displayed. South Korea secured a 2-1 comeback victory over the Czech Republic.

Jin has also maintained connections with global sporting events. In July 2024, Jin participated as a torchbearer for the '2024 Paris Summer Olympics' held in Paris, France. The French weekly magazine Paris Match introduced Jin as the only foreigner among the 31 stars carrying the torch, describing him as 'the true prince who will ascend to the throne 235 years after the French Revolution.'

Jin's solo song 'Don't Say You Love Me' resonated for three days at the figure skating venue of the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics last February. 'Running Wild' was also played during the 2026 WBC match between South Korea and Taiwan held at Tokyo Dome in Japan last March. The song also appeared in the December 2024 broadcast of the NFL American football game between the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions on U.S. CBS. Additionally, it was used in the MBC election night broadcast for the 21st presidential election last June and in the preview for 'MBC Selection 2026,' the election night broadcast for the 9th simultaneous local elections held in May.
