AHOF Sets Out Toward K-pop Hall of Fame
Newly formed K-pop group AHOF (short for All time Hall Of Famer) officially kicks off their journey with their debut mini-album ‘WHO WE ARE’, released on July 1 at 6 p.m. KST through major online music platforms.
A Story of Identity and Imperfection
The album captures the group’s search for identity before reaching “perfection,” drawing listeners into their heartfelt story. Rather than focusing on brightness or glamour, AHOF introduces themselves with sincerity through six unique tracks. The album was fully produced by El Capitan, with members actively contributing to deliver a raw and refined sound.
The tracklist includes the emotional title song ‘Rendezvous’, along with ‘Intro: A Boy Trips Onstage,’ ‘Blue School, Green Grass, Red Sneakers,’ ‘Not So Incomplete,’ ‘The Worst in the Universe,’ and ‘Outro: AHOF, the Number That Shines.’
‘Rendezvous’: A Dreamy yet Painful Reunion
Title track ‘Rendezvous’ blends dreamy guitar riffs and rhythmic drums with emotionally charged band sounds. The lyrics express a young boy’s inner conflict between incompleteness and hope, painting a picture of moments he wishes he could relive and feelings he couldn’t express.
The music video provides visual storytelling to match. A teaser released on June 30 portrays the members chasing a shared dream from different walks of life, stirring excitement among international fans. A later clip focuses on synchronized solo dance performances from each member, showcasing their potential as powerful performers.
From Survival Show to Global Stage
AHOF is composed of nine elite members—Steven, Seo Jungwoo, Cha Woonggi, Zhang Shuaibo, Park Han, JL, Park Juwon, Zeun, and Daisuke—who were selected after winning the fierce competition on SBS’s survival show ‘Universe League’.
The name AHOF not only stands for “All time Hall Of Famer,” but also represents the number 9—symbolizing infinite potential and future growth. As the group sets its sights on global stardom, their goal to join the K-pop Hall of Fame seems more than just a dream.
Global Showcase Launches Debut Era
To mark their debut, AHOF will host a global fan showcase broadcast live through their official YouTube channel on July 1 at 8 p.m. KST. This event will provide fans worldwide a first chance to see their live performance and connect with their journey from the very beginning.
With honest lyrics, visually compelling videos, and powerful performances, AHOF’s debut is already gaining attention—and it’s just the beginning for this promising new idol group.
