It was announced this week that the BTS superstar will participate in the Paris 2024 Olympic Torch Relay as a torchbearer from South Korea. While the details surrounding his appearance for the long-standing tradition have yet to be revealed, a press release shared Jin’s relay will focus on spreading the message of “harmony” and “peace.”
As Jin takes on an Olympic adventure, bandmates, Jimin and Jung Kook are taking on a worldwide adventure of their own as they are scheduled to release a new travel reality show together on Disney+ titled, Are You Sure?!
The eight-part series will follow the pair as they visit iconic destinations throughout the world including New York state, USA; Jeju Island, South Korea; and Sapporo, Japan. According to a press release, the show — which was filmed in 2023 before they enlisted in the Korean Army — will “give a deeper look into Jimin and Jung Kook’s undeniable chemistry and endearing friendship. The show will do so by showing the friends as they “take viewers on a fun-filled journey… as they eat, shop, cook, camp, canoe, swim and road trip together.”
Are You Sure?! will be available via Disney+ beginning August 8.
