However, he quickly acknowledged ARMY as the force making this opportunity possible. He thanked fans for letting him have this honor and revealed one tiny regret: as he walked his part of the relay, he wished he had taken a moment to glance at the Olympic torch in his hand.
Reflecting on this, Jin smiled and said, “That’s too bad,” accepting this little situation as part of a big moment. One thing’s for sure: he never takes for granted the love and support from ARMY.
