On the 5th (local time), ENHYPEN's Son Heung vividly lit the flame of peace and harmony as a torchbearer for the '25th Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics' held in Milan, Italy. Before his debut, he was a candidate for the national figure skating team, and through his agency BELIFT LAB, he expressed, 'I am thrilled to be able to step onto the Olympic stage I dreamed of during my athlete days as a singer,' and 'I am happy to participate in this honorable journey of the Olympics. Thanks to ENGENE (ENHYPEN's fans) and sports fans, I received incredible energy.' On this day, the area near Bolivar station in Milan, the relay section, was filled with global fans gathered to see Son Heung. Fans, who filled the streets hours before his appearance, wore the Taegukgi and held placards saying 'Son Heung, fighting' in Korean, creating an atmosphere that made one forget the cold. The scene was filled with cheers calling his name. As Son Heung began to move with the torch, many people were seen moving along with him. During the approximately 20-minute relay, he conveyed the meaning of the Olympic spirit and solidarity amidst the enthusiastic support of the citizens, responding to fans with bright smiles and greetings, and passing the flame to the next runner. Son Heung is currently a public relations ambassador for the Korean Sports Council and, as a member of ENHYPEN, conveys the core value of 'passion towards what you love' that connects sports and K-POP. Like the group's aspiration to connect 'people to people' and 'world to world' through music, he created a space for interaction that transcends genres and borders through this torch relay. Additionally, ENHYPEN's 3rd mini-album 'MANIFESTO: DAY 1' includes the song 'SHOUT OUT,' which has been chosen as the official support song for the Korean representatives at the Winter Olympics, drawing more attention.
