The official Olympic account commemorated the second anniversary of BTS Jin’s torch relay at the Paris Olympics, triggering an explosive response.
On July 14, the official Olympic account posted a video of global icon Jin, who carried the torch in Paris on the same day two years prior, along with the caption "2024 Paris Olympic Torch Relay with BTS @Jin" and a fire emoji to mark the occasion.

The post received overwhelmingly more likes and comments than any other post by the official Olympic account. Netizens from countries around the world left numerous comments such as "As expected, Worldwide Handsome Jin," "Proud of Jin," "The Little Prince of Paris," and "Jin with amazing talent and silver voice," celebrating the second anniversary of Jin’s torch relay.
On July 14, 2024, Jin participated as a torchbearer in the "2024 Paris Summer Olympics" torch relay held in Paris, France. As a foreigner, Jin uniquely served as the first torchbearer for the Louvre Museum section—a landmark and former palace—on France’s largest national holiday, the "Bastille Day," marking the French Revolution. Global media outlets reported on Jin’s explosive popularity and influence originating from Paris.
France’s leading weekly magazine Paris Match introduced Jin as the only foreigner in an article titled "2024 Olympics: Who Will Bring the Torch to Paris?" even before his torch relay, and after the event, described him as "the true prince who ascended 235 years after the French Revolution" through an article titled "Torch Relay: BTS’s Jin Becomes the Little Prince of the 2024 Paris Olympics."

In its official website article "10 Things to Expect at the 2024 Summer Olympics," Billboard listed "BTS Jin’s Torch Relay" as the first item, and the U.S. Associated Press (AP) named Jin as the most-watched torchbearer, drawing global attention to him. Jin was also ranked number one in "The Best Olympic Torch Relay Moments," reinforcing his status as a "global icon."
