How AHOF Was Formed
AHOF was formed through SBS’s survival program Universe League.
The show’s finale took place on January 24, 2025, when the nine members who would make up the new boy group were revealed. The final lineup consisted of JL, Steven, Zhang Shuaibo, Park Juwon, Seo Jeongwoo, Chih En, Daisuke, Cha Woongki and Park Han. Soompi
Rather than immediately moving into a standard trainee-to-debut process, the members entered the K-pop industry with an audience already familiar with them from the survival program.
F&F Entertainment subsequently announced AHOF as its first boy group and confirmed the group’s debut for July 2025. Soompi
AHOF’s Debut
AHOF officially debuted on July 1, 2025, with its first mini album WHO WE ARE.
The album’s title track, “Rendezvous,” introduced AHOF’s musical identity following the group’s formation on Universe League. Soompi
The debut quickly gave the group its first major music-show milestone. On July 8, 2025, AHOF won first place on The Show with “Rendezvous,” marking their first music-show trophy. Soompi
The group followed that achievement with another first-place win on Show Champion the following day. Soompi

AHOF Fandom
AHOF’s official fandom name is FOHA.
The name was announced in September 2025. It is AHOF spelled backward, while also playing on the English word “for,” representing the connection between the group and its fans. Soompi
FOHA has supported AHOF through their Korean promotions, fan events, international activities and concerts.
AHOF’s 2026 Activities
2026 marked an important expansion for AHOF as the group began reaching fans outside South Korea through its first Asian tour.
THE FIRST SPARK Asian Tour
AHOF launched its first Asian tour, 2026 AHOF 1ST TOUR: THE FIRST SPARK, in May 2026.
The tour was scheduled across eight Asian cities, beginning with Seoul performances on May 30 and 31. F&F Entertainment
The tour subsequently brought AHOF to several major Asian markets, including Kuala Lumpur. During the tour, the members also previewed performances connected to their upcoming RUN TO YOU release. F&F Entertainment
AHOF’s 2026 Comeback
AHOF’s third mini album RUN TO YOU arrived on July 8, 2026, approximately eight months after The Passage. F&F Entertainment
The title track focuses on moving directly toward someone despite uncertainty, pairing an upbeat summer sound with energetic choreography.
The comeback also delivered another important achievement: AHOF won first place on MBC M’s Show Champion on July 15 with “RUN TO YOU.” This gave the group a music-show win for each of its three title tracks released up to that point. F&F Entertainment
AHOF Awards & Achievements
AHOF has collected several rookie and popularity awards since debut.
Notable honors listed by F&F Entertainment include:
- 2025 K-WORLD DREAM AWARDS — K World Dream Super Rookie

AHOF at NOL FESTIVAL 2026
AHOF is scheduled to perform at NOL FESTIVAL 2026 on October 18 as part of the festival’s K-pop stage in Hall 7.
They will appear alongside artists including TREASURE, IVE, ALLDAY PROJECT, EVAN, izna, KickFlip, KiiiKiii, MEOVV and NMIXX.
This gives AHOF another opportunity to perform for a large audience alongside both established K-pop acts and newer-generation artists.
Why AHOF Stands Out
AHOF’s story is closely tied to the survival-show format, but the group has continued developing beyond Universe League. Their releases have progressively moved from the uncertainty of a newly formed team toward themes of friendship, growth, confidence and youthful determination.
Their multinational lineup also gives the group a natural international reach, while their 2026 Asian tour marked an important step in building that audience outside Korea.
With three mini albums, multiple music-show victories, a growing list of awards and their first Asian tour already behind them, AHOF has established a strong foundation for the next stage of their career.
