Hello lovelies!

I never thought I’d be typing the title of this livethread!

Let’s all gather together to cheer on Jin as he makes history representing South Korea in the Passage of the Olympic Torch! This thread will be used to compile all things Jin @ Paris Olympics in one place. Post all questions, discussions, AAHHHHHHHHH, uwu, etc. related to the event here!

Please note: If BTS posts anything from their official SNS or YouTube channel it can have it's own thread outside of this compilation. If Usain Bolt or Brad Pitt tweets they can have their own post, too! For everything else, please add it as a comment below and tag a mod so we can add it to the list.

BASIC INFO

• Timezone Converter

• Olympics Torch Relay page

• Olympics YouTube channel

Note: As news reports from K-media (SBS, Yonhap, Sports Chosun), the Olympics article and Louvre SNS have stated that Jin’s leg will start around 8:30PM local time, we're setting this thread and timezone converter at 8:30PM. The official schedule on the Olympics website says it will start at 9:30PM but the schedule is subject to change. So it is also possible that it will start an hour later but we just wanted to make sure you do not miss it.
