Sunghoon will participate as a torchbearer and lead a cheering challenge.
They have also made significant strides in global charts with their recent album.
ENHYPEN's song 'SHOUT OUT' has been officially selected as the cheering anthem for the 2026 Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics. This track is characterized by its refreshing melody and emotional lyrics, set to inspire the athletes' spirit. Featured in the album 'MANIFESTO : DAY 1', the song adds significant meaning as it rallies support for Team Korea.
Before the selection of 'SHOUT OUT,' member Sunghoon was chosen as a torchbearer. As a former national figure skating representative and current ambassador for the Korea Sports Council, he is set to convey the traditions and values of the Olympics. On official social media, a cheering challenge featuring Sunghoon performing 'SHOUT OUT' has been launched, providing fans with a chance to participate in the support effort.
Moreover, ENHYPEN is gaining significant attention with their recent mini-album 'THE SIN : VANISH'. The album has reached the 2nd position on the US Billboard 200 and secured the top spot on Japan's Oricon album rankings, further elevating their status in global charts.
The selection of 'SHOUT OUT' highlights how ENHYPEN's musical style and the message of the song reflect the spirit of the Winter Olympics. The track expresses aspirations of victory and challenge, which are likely to strengthen the emotional bond between the athletes and the public. This approach is expected to instill a great sense of pride among fans.
Sunghoon's role as a torchbearer confirms his popularity and sports background. As a former national figure skater, he serves as a bridge between sports and culture, creating opportunities to mitigate the distance the public feels towards sports. This aspect is essential for fostering a deeper connection between athletes and audiences.
Furthermore, ENHYPEN's achievements on a global stage suggest they are likely to engage in various projects in the future. Their continuous activity and growth contribute significantly to the rising status of K-pop, and they are expected to create even more opportunities moving forward.
