AHOF is drawing attention for their exceptional pre-debut momentum, joining the lineup of the upcoming ‘2025 NOL Festival: SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer’, set to take place on July 26.
Though AHOF is officially scheduled to debut on July 1, their early inclusion in one of Korea’s largest K-pop festivals—featuring the country’s top-tier artists—is considered highly unusual. Their appearance confirms the industry's growing anticipation for what is already being dubbed a breakout rookie of 2025.
This isn’t their first major performance. On June 19, AHOF took the stage at MyK FESTA held at KSPO DOME in Seoul, where they delivered a successful first performance alongside prominent senior artists—an impressive feat for a group yet to make their official debut.
Formed under F&F Entertainment, AHOF is the agency’s first boy group and consists of nine members: Steven, Jeongwoo, Woongki, Shuaibo, Han, JL, Juwon, Chih En, and Daisuke. The lineup was finalized through SBS’s survival program ‘Universe League’, which concluded in January.
AHOF’s debut mini album ‘WHO WE ARE’ will be released on July 1 at 6 p.m. KST. The album explores the identity and journey of the group as they search for their own voice before reaching "completeness." Through five tracks, including the title song, the members share their hopes, uncertainties, and the emotional growth they’ve experienced together.
To mark their debut, AHOF will also hold a showcase event on the same day at 8 p.m. KST, meeting fans for the first time since their official launch.
With two high-profile stages booked even before debut, AHOF is quickly positioning itself as one of the most anticipated rookies of the year.
