The group AHOF is solidifying its status as a “monster rookie.”
According to F&F ENTERTAINMENT, on October 14, AHOF (Steven, Jeongwoo, Woongki, Shuaibo, Han, JL, Juwon, Chih En, and Daisuke) will release its “THE PASSAGE” on November 4, marking its very first comeback since debut.
The “COMING SOON” poster revealed features a raw texture in brown tones. The title of the new album and its release date, written on the image, were enough to spark excitement among fans worldwide.
This new project comes about four months after the release of its first mini-album “WHO WE ARE” last July. From the very beginning, AHOF broke several records and established itself as a “monster rookie.” The group hopes to continue this momentum and achieve another consecutive success.
Since its debut, AHOF has attracted attention not only for its visuals and performances but also for the sincerity of its music. The group has conveyed a story of youth seeking fulfillment amid imperfection, asserting its own artistic identity.
Now, attention turns to the next chapter of its story. Through “THE PASSAGE”, the nine members of AHOF are set to reveal a new musical and performance path, promising an even more captivating experience for K-pop fans.
AHOF, which aims to one day enter the “Hall of Fame of K-pop,” continues its relentless rise. With “WHO WE ARE”, they ranked fifth in initial debut sales for a boy group and won three trophies on music shows. Last August, they also managed to fill a stadium of about 10,000 seats during their very first fan concert in the Philippines.
After this impressive debut, AHOF continued to make waves at various award ceremonies. The group won the “K World Dream Super Rookie” award at the “2025 K WORLD DREAM AWARDS”, was later honored as “Next Icon” at the 7th Hallyu Expo by Newsis, and received the “Hottest” award at the “2025 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS”, confirming its tremendous potential.
As fans await its comeback, AHOF plans to carry out various promotions to strengthen their connection with fans.
