Korean netizens are buzzing with pride and admiration as BTS's Jin took the spotlight as the only non-French Olympic torchbearer on July 14, which was Bastille Day in France.

July 14, a significant day marking the anniversary of the French Revolution, saw numerous famous French nationals carrying the Olympic torch, with Jin standing out as the sole non-French person. Not only did Jin have the honor of being the first torchbearer, but he also walked toward the iconic Louvre Museum, one of the most famous landmarks in France.

Korean netizens commented:

"Really, thank you, BTS."

"BTS truly goes beyond K-pop; they are legends even among Koreans."

"Wow, Jin starting as the first torchbearer at the Louvre Museum is like a statue coming to life!"

"It's nice to say he's from our country."

"I"m so proud."

"Wow..."

"I'm so happy that Jin got to be the torchbearer."

"He's so good-looking."

"This is so awesome."
