In videos shared by the official Olympics account and ENHYPEN’s social media, SUNGHOON appears calm and confident as he steps out of a vehicle wearing the official Olympic uniform — a crisp white jacket accented with orange and pink details on the shoulders, paired with gloves. Carefully holding the sleek silver torch, he walks through the streets of Milan, smiling, waving to cheering fans, and proudly pointing to his Olympic-ring sunglasses.
The post’s caption summed up the moment perfectly: “We’re literally mesmerized! ENHYPEN’s SUNGHOON arrived in Milan and handled being a @MilanoCortina2026 torchbearer with his usual grace and charm.” It’s no surprise that clips of the relay quickly spread online, drawing praise from fans and sports enthusiasts alike.
From Announcement to Olympic History
SUNGHOON’s participation was first revealed in January, when it was announced that he had been selected as a torchbearer for Milano Cortina 2026. The Olympic torch relay is a time-honored tradition, symbolizing peace, unity, and the passing of the Olympic spirit as the flame travels through the host city ahead of the opening ceremony.
By joining the relay, SUNGHOON also made history as only the second K-pop artist to take part in an overseas Olympic torch relay, following Jin of BTS, who carried the torch during the 2024 Summer Games in Paris.
ENHYPEN’s Momentum Continues
The Milan appearance comes at a high point for ENHYPEN. Just days earlier, the group released its latest EP, THE SIN : VANISH, which propelled them to the top of the Billboard Artist 100 chart for the first time in their career. The achievement further cements their growing global influence — both in music and beyond.
For fans, the moment was unforgettable. From chart-topping success to Olympic history, Watch ENHYPEN’s SUNGHOON Take Part in the 2026 Olympic Torch Relay in Milan — a powerful reminder of how far K-pop’s global reach now extends.
