Nine-member boy group AHOF (아홉, pronounced Ah Hop!) will make its music industry debut in the first half of 2025.

On February 5, F&F Entertainment announced:
“We have completed a meeting with all the members of AHOF’s rookie group. The members will be taking a break for a while and will start preparing for their debut in the first half of this year..”
AHOF was formed through SBS’s global boy band audition program “Universe League,” which just ended on January 24. In the finale episode, a total of nine members including STEVEN, SEO JEONG WOO, CHA WOONGKI, ZHANG SHUAIBO, PARK HAN, JL, PARK JUWON, CHIH EN, and DAISUKE were confirmed as the 9-member global boy band AHOF.
The group’s name was created by borrowing “Hall of Fame. AHOF stands for “All-time Hall of Fame,” which reflects its members’ bold aspirations to be inducted into the K-pop Hall of Fame.
After its creation, AHOF is preparing to meet its fans by opening its official channel and SNS. Since it was created by the choice of K-pop fans in over 200 countries, attention is focused on their official debut.
The nine members showcased their skills and global potential in a fierce competition that lasted for about two months. As such, expectations are high for where AHOF will go in the K-pop market in the first half of this year.
