AHOF Crowned Champion on KBS2’s ‘Music Bank’
Rising K-pop boy group AHOF (members: Steven, Seo Jungwoo, Cha Woongki, Zhang Shuaibo, Park Han, JL, Park Juwon, Zuen, and Daisuke) continues their meteoric rise by clinching their third music show victory. On July 11, the group took first place on KBS2’s Music Bank with their debut title track, “Rendezvous”, from their first mini album WHO WE ARE.
The win follows their earlier victories on SBS funE’s The Show and MBC M’s Show! Champion, making this their third trophy in just 10 days since debut—an astonishing feat for a rookie group.
‘We’re Just Getting Started,’ Says AHOF
Following the win, AHOF shared a heartfelt message through their agency: “It’s hard to believe we received three trophies with our debut song. We approached each performance with excitement and sincerity, and to be rewarded like this is unbelievable. We’re overjoyed and honored.”
The group also credited their devoted fanbase: “This is all thanks to our fans. Your support from pre-debut to now means the world to us. We promise to keep working hard and growing. This is only the beginning for AHOF—please continue to support and cheer us on.”
Performances That Transcend Borders
During the Music Bank performance, AHOF captivated both domestic and international fans with their charismatic stage presence. From their ethereal vocal tones to their powerful live singing and emotionally detailed choreography, the group delivered a performance that left K-pop fans thrilled and asking for more.
In K-pop, delivering a flawless encore song live is often regarded as a true indicator of talent—and AHOF passed with flying colors.
Shattering Records as Monster Rookies
Known already as “monster rookies,” AHOF is setting new benchmarks. Their debut mini album sold over 360,000 copies in its first week—the highest first-week sales among rookie boy groups in 2024. Their debut track remains on major Korean streaming charts like Bugs and Melon HOT100, and their presence on Spotify and iTunes global charts continues to rise rapidly.
With impressive streaming, charting, and broadcast success under their belt, AHOF is full speed ahead with promotions for “Rendezvous,” both online and offline. All signs point to a remarkable journey ahead for the young stars.
