South Korean singer Jin, a member of the popular K-pop group BTS, was discharged from the army on June 12. As Jin passed through the army unit, BTS members RM, J-hope, V, Jungkook, Jimin, and Suga warmly welcomed him.
Now a 31-year-old singer, according to his agency, is expected to represent South Korea in the Olympic torch relay in hopes of spreading the message of «harmony» and «peace».
According to tradition, the Olympic flame is initially lit in Olympia, Greece, where the games began. The journey of the flame started on April 16 and is currently heading to France for the Olympics.
South Korea is sending approximately 142 athletes to participate in 21 sports, including badminton, taekwondo, archery, and fencing, at the games scheduled for July 27. Jin will travel to France for this special event, joining over 11,000 torchbearers, including Holocaust survivors, astronauts, outstanding athletes, relatives of the victims of the Nice attack, and others. The torch relay will pass through 400 locations, covering a distance of about 12,000 kilometers.
The «Dynamite» singer began his 18-month military service at a military camp near the North Korean border. After a five-week training period with his fellow soldiers, he was assigned to an army unit. Before leaving for army service, his group colleagues supported their «hyung» (older brother).
In December 2023, RM and V began their military service, followed by Jimin and Jungkook at later dates. The seven BTS members plan to reunite in 2025 after completing their mandatory duties.
Now that the eldest member has completed his mandatory military service, he is resuming life outside the group. Professionally, Jin, according to reports, is set to appear on a survival reality show called «I'm Glad You Rested Well», also known as «Half-Star Hotel on a Lost Island». The show will challenge participants to turn an abandoned and uninhabited island into a functioning hotel and host guests.
The singer informed fans on Weverse: «I am working on recording music and filming entertainment shows. I am trying to focus on my main work, showing my face as often as possible. The results will be known in a few months, so please wait a little longer»
