\n\tHe did it! With just a few hours left to go before the 2026 Olympics<\/a> opening ceremony, SUNGHOON of ENHYPEN<\/a> successfully did his part carrying the torch in the Winter Games relay in Milan on Thursday (Feb. 5).<\/p>\n

\n\tAs captured in a video posted to Instagram by the Olympics and the boy band\u2019s account, SUNGHOON wears his official Olympic uniform \u2014 a white jacket with an orange and pink design on the shoulders \u2014 and gloves as he steps out of a car and carefully handles the silver torch. As he walks his stretch of the Italian city, he waves at excited fans and points to his Olympic ring sunglasses. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re literally mesmerized!\u201d the caption reads. \u201cENHYPEN\u2019s SUNGHOON arrived in Milan and handled being a @MilanoCortina2026 torchbearer with his usual grace and charm.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt was first announced <\/a>in January that the boy band member would be participating in the traditional torch-bearing ceremony, which involves the passing of the Olympic flame from one person to another on a route in the games\u2019 host city leading up to the opening ceremony, which marks the official kickoff of the weeks-long sporting event. SUNGHOON is just the second K-pop star to be selected for an overseas Olympic torch relay, following Jin of BTS in 2024 for the Summer Games in Paris.<\/p>\n

\n\tSUNGHOON\u2019s trek through the streets of Milan comes just after ENHYPEN dropped its latest EP, THE SIN : VANISH. Thanks to the project, the band ascended to No. 1 <\/a>on the Billboard Artist 100 <\/a>chart for the first time.<\/p>\n

\n\tENHYPEN is also gearing up for the March premiere <\/a>of its ENHYPEN [WALK THE LINE SUMMER EDITION] IN CINEMAS documentary in theaters.<\/p>\n
