That’s exactly why, even to this day, some people still accuse him of lip-syncing. They simply can’t believe someone can sound that good and that stable while singing live.

🏟️BTS Jin Carries the Paris Olympic Torch. ARMY Fans Gather at the Louvre (July 15, 2024)
BTS Jin appears carrying the Olympic torch, drawing thunderous cheers from fans.
He waves and greets the crowds lining the streets before receiving the flame from the previous torchbearer and beginning his relay segment near the Louvre Museum.
He carries the torch for approximately 200m toward the Louvre's iconic glass pyramid.
Throughout the relay, the cheers from fans never stop.
Thousands of BTS fans, known as ARMY, traveled not only from France but from across Europe to witness Jin's torch relay in person.
As massive crowds gathered, hundreds of police officers were deployed, and Jin's relay route was reportedly adjusted several times up until shortly before the event for safety reasons.
🐹"I feel incredibly honored," Jin said. "I also want to sincerely thank ARMY and all of my fans who made it possible for me to participate in the torch relay."
After arriving in mainland France in May, the Olympic flame traveled through regional cities and overseas territories before reaching Paris on Bastille Day.
Following two days of relays across Paris, the torch continued its journey through other regions before returning to Paris for the opening ceremony on July 26.
The identity of the final torchbearer at the opening ceremony remained undisclosed, though legendary French footballer Zinedine Zidane was among the names widely speculated at the time.

Jin didn’t take anyone’s spot, he earned that through the actual impact of sold out tours, solo albums, brand deals, variety shows, business revenue, media presence and public influence. Stay mad, stay bitter, while kim seokjin keeps winning. 😌
Does RM truly understand what it takes to become a sergeant in the military? Does he fully understand the mental and emotional strength it took for Jin to achieve that position? Does he know how difficult it was for Jin to enlist after the Yet to Come in Busan concert?
Just because Jin didn’t go live and cry publicly doesn’t mean his enlistment wasn’t exhausting, painful, or emotionally draining. Not everyone carries hardship out loud. Some people endure quietly while still protecting and comforting everyone around them.
May the universe never stop watching over and protecting Kim Seokjin. May his ancestors and every force of light continue to guide and uplift him in powerful ways. He has carried so much with grace, often hiding his own struggles to protect the people around him.
May the heavens continue to open doors of peace, happiness, good health, love, and endless blessings for Kim Seokjin throughout his entire lifetime.
#BTSJIN The man you are is unmatched. We will continue speaking up for you. You deserve to be protected, appreciated, and celebrated for everything you have endured and achieved.
JIN made history with his "RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR" at Kyocera Dome Osaka, selling out two shows on July 12 and 13, 2025, and attracting a total of 110,000 fans, thereby setting a new record for the largest dome concert in Japan by a Korean solo artist.
