ENHYPEN Sunghoon Selected as 2026 Winter Olympics Torchbearer for Milan-Cortina
ENHYPEN's Sunghoon has been named a torchbearer for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. A former figure skater, he was recommended by official sponsor Samsung Electronics.
From a rising star on the ice to a global K-pop sensation, he's now set to carry the Olympic flame. Sunghoon of the boy group ENHYPEN has been officially named a torchbearer for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. His agency, Belift Lab, announced the news on January 24, 2026, marking a significant full-circle moment for the former figure skater.
Why Sunghoon was Chosen as a 2026 Winter Olympics Torchbearer
Sunghoon's selection comes through a recommendation by Samsung Electronics, an official worldwide Olympic partner. Before his debut in 2020, Sunghoon was a member of South Korea's national figure skating reserve team. Since last year, he's also served as an ambassador for the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee, bridging the gap between the sports world and global entertainment.
I had dreamed of being part of the Olympics when I was skating, and I am thrilled to be able to fulfill that dream now as a singer. I have great respect and support for the athletes who shed sweat for this event.
