On September 16 KST, Jin shared a Chuseok greeting video through the official BTS YouTube channel, delighting fans worldwide with his breathtaking appearance as the “visual king.”
Appearing in a beautiful purple hanbok, Jin, who has grown out his hair three months after his discharge from the military, warmly greeted fans, “Hello, this is Jin from BTS. The joyful holiday of Chuseok has arrived.” Accompanied by a round of applause, he continued with his holiday message.
Jin said, “Is everyone enjoying a happy holiday? It feels like I was just discharged yesterday, but time has flown by so quickly. To all our ARMYs who’ve worked so hard this year, I hope we can create many more wonderful memories in the rest of 2024.”
He added, “Eat lots of delicious holiday food, and I hope you spend a Chuseok full of happiness with your loved ones. This has been Jin from BTS, thank you everyone.” Jin concluded with a bow and a heartfelt Chuseok message.
He also charmed fans by playfully making a “scissors” shape with his hands, saying “Have a happy Chuseok!” which further delighted fans.
Earlier, Jin made headlines for his participation as a torchbearer in the ‘2024 Paris Summer Olympics’ relay in France on July 14th. Known for his unparalleled impact, Jin became the first foreigner to carry the torch as the first runner through the Louvre segment on France’s biggest national holiday, Bastille Day. His participation garnered worldwide attention, dominating global searches and discussions.
France’s largest weekly magazine Paris Match exclusively highlighted Jin among the 31 stars participating, stating, “If July 14th, 1789 (Bastille Day) hastened the end of the French monarchy, Jin became a true prince 235 years later.” The U.S. news agency AP also noted Jin as the most talked-about torchbearer, while Billboard listed “Jin’s Torch Relay” as one of the top 10 things to look forward to in the 2024 Summer Olympics.
