Rookie group AHOF is entering the pre-launch phase ahead of its official debut.
At midnight on June 17, AHOF (Steven, Seo Jeongwoo, Cha Woongki, Zhang Shuaibo, Park Han, JL, Park Juwon, Chih En, Daisuke) released a teaser video on its official social media channels, revealing the promotional schedule for its very first mini-album titled “WHO WE ARE”.
The video features a character running at full speed, sparking curiosity. This relentless sprint seems to symbolize AHOF’s bold beginnings and unstoppable momentum moving forward.
According to the schedule, AHOF kicks off album pre-orders on June 17 along with the release of “9 spoilers.” From June 18 to 23, four sets of concept photos will be unveiled, giving fans a glimpse into the album’s visual world.
Following that, AHOF will sequentially release the tracklist, a highlight medley, and then a teaser for the title track’s music video, building excitement among its global fanbase. The official album release and the start of promotions will be on July 1 at 6 PM KST.
An intriguing detail in the schedule is the June 24 date, marked only by nine star icons without any additional info, raising curiosity about the surprise content planned for that day.
“WHO WE ARE” will serve as a prologue to AHOF’s musical universe and express the group’s identity. This album tells the story of nine boys starting their journey with sincerity.
The name “AHOF,” which relates to the number nine, the closest to the perfect number ten, also carries symbolic meaning: “A hope.” Through this symbolism, the nine members aim to convey, through their music, that growth and potential arise from imperfection, marking the beginning of their story.
AHOF is F&F Entertainment’s very first boy band, formed through SBS’s “Universe League”. With a confident ambition to enter the K-pop Hall of Fame, the group will officially debut on July 1.
Album pre-orders start at noon on June 17. The physical album will be available in several versions: a photobook, 10 jewel versions, and a QR version.
