The stars also appear to have had some fun with their segments of the relay.

Cha Seung Won was his usual charismatic self as he carried his torch. People were heard chanting, “Ma Wang, Ma Wang,” referring to his current on-screen character in “Hwayugi,” to which he dramatically stopped and posed with the torch.

VIXX’s N was a ball of energy as he jumped around, even convincing the guards accompanying him to jump with him. He continued to have fun during his segment, as he pretended to be a speed skater and danced adorably. He concluded with an adorable forehead-to-forehead pass with the next torchbearer.

Sean uploaded a photo of himself posed cheerfully with the torch, and wrote, “I ran hard as a 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics torchbearer! It’s been 30 years since the last Olympics in Korea. I’m so thankful that I could run as a torchbearer for what might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There’s now 25 days left until the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, fighting to all the Korean national athletes!”
