But they're not 😔

So far the Oneindia channel isn't showing the relay at all, just politicians. I just downloaded the Paris Olympucs app because I heard that it included live video of the torch relay for those who sign up, but that's a lie. There's nothing but old clips. Makes me wonder wtf they invite celebrities like Jin for, if they're not going to broadcast and livestream

Exactly! And if a TV station has the rights, then advertise the hell out of the TV station's online livestreams. I swear, legacy media are SO slow and backwards when it comes to making use of the internet

I tried the Olympic YT channel and they have no live feed of the torch relay. Idiotic not to have it.

I am currently watching a livestream of the whole Bastille Day/Olympic torch relay festivities on, of all things, the YouTube channel for Oneindia News. The live chat is full of ARMY, so no prizes for guessing why they're streaming it. I think Jin's portion of the relay will be on in another hour or so.

If you scroll down the comments, there's a reply saying the initial post has an error and that Jin's run time is scheduled for 8:30pm CET, not KST. In any case, I hope the organizers are ready for the crowds Edit: the tweet's been corrected,

This is interesting! I wonder if Yuzu is able to do jumps in different directions? https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9Pz3YSRb3Z/?igsh=aWprbDEyeGU3cGwy

I don't know about the rest of you, but I just can't wait to see them try snowboarding. I took a couple lessons back when I was 30 just to give it a try, and what I learned is that I am a skier. I'll be interested to see if they have similar troubles

Somehow I feel like that line about not compromising our Victorian values is going to turn out to be famous last words, given the way Ch. 2 has unfolded thus far

Well, that's going to cause chaos:

If he'd walked in a show, it would be all over Gucci's official media

This! Because the reality is, as long they are in the military, BTS can not say a word - it's literally in SK law that serving soldiers must not be political.

No worries, Canada's best jewelry store, Birks, carries the full line, so it can be ordered from there. https://www.maisonbirks.com/en_ca/brands/fred/ Still OHMYGODTHATsEXPENSIVE prices, but for once I can at least find one of their brand ambassadorship brands here. Because it would be nice to be able to at least see some of the pieces in person, even if it's way above my price zone

I love window-shopping high-end jewelry - I'm a magpie for all the gemstones - and I've lesrned that if something is priced this high, it's usually a one-off to show the brand's style and attract customers who then buy something less pricey, or it's made to order for the client. So a), it'll always be 'sold out', and b ) the part we're not seeing is that showing Jin in this piece will likely attract a few thousand customers who'll buy something in the $500 - $2000 range, which is what most of these companies really want. In any case, good for Jin! It suits him. Edit: case in point - the FRED bracelet for the Special Olympics donorship is 1550€

What are those prices... wow.

Sounds like he made a splash - listen to all the kids calling him sunbaenim

Well, at this point BTS is a supergroup. They meet the definition in every way that counts.

I know, right. I'm trying tell myself that it's absolutely not reasonable for me to fly to Vancouver for a day just to see his photo exhibit. Even if there's cheap fares available right now

Just goes to show that most 'AI' is nothing but a weighted average of all the mentions the program can scrape about a topic - and that it's a seriously dangerous disinformation spreader.

I'm thinking in terms of what days he can actually spare away from his schedule at HYBE, but you also have a point. However, his part in the torch relay is on the 27th*. So he'd be most likely to pick a day close to that. *just checked the Olympic Site, and the 27th doesn't make sense - the final day of the torch relay and the start of the opening ceremonies is the 26th... Do they mean the 26th in Paris = the 27th in Seoul?

So, this news of Jin being an Olympic torchbearer means that both he and Coldplay are going to be in Europe at the end of July. Coldplay's tour dates for the second half of July are July 15 & 16 in Rome, the 20th, 21st, and 23rd in Dusseldorf, and the 27, 28, 30, and 31 in Helsinki. Just sayin'. My money would be on the 28th in Helsinki
