South Korean military has adopted a unique approach in response to North Korea 's provocative balloon propaganda . By setting up loudspeakers along the border , they play K - pop music and discuss popular K - dramas , like Crash Landing on You , featuring lead actor Hyun Bin . The broadcasts run throughout the day and night , reaching even the outskirts of Seoul , showcasing South Korea 's vibrant culture.
The military 's initiative also includes sharing news about BTS member Jin 's participation in the torch relay for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics . This innovative tactic aims to highlight the global success and recognition of K - pop groups like BTS , sending a powerful message to North Korea about South Korea 's dynamic pop culture scene.
BTS Jin recently served as a torchbearer for the 2024 Summer Olympics , representing South Korea after completing his mandatory military service . As one of the 11,000 torchbearers , Jin participated in the relay , carrying the Olympic flame on foot to different locations . Despite uncertainties about his presence at the opening ceremony , Jin will continue his role until July 26 and then again from August 25 - 28 before the Paralympics.
The torch relay , which began in Greece and passed through France , aimed to showcase the country 's history and beauty . Jin expressed gratitude for the opportunity to be a torchbearer , highlighting the support from his fans , ARMY . Nervous at first , Jin overcame his apprehension with the encouragement of cheering spectators as he completed his 10 - minute journey with the torch.
Post his military service , Jin 's return to the spotlight has fans anticipating more solo music from him , with rumors of a solo album in the works . His last single , " Astronaut , " released in October 2022 , made it to the Billboard Hot 100 . While details about his solo album remain undisclosed , fans hope to see Jin 's involvement in the 2024 Summer Olympics , including a possible performance at the event.
