AHOF Makes Official Debut With ‘WHO WE ARE’ Mini Album

K-pop group AHOF has officially launched their music career with a debut showcase held on July 1 at the YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, celebrating the release of their first mini album, WHO WE ARE.

The nine-member act—Steven, Jeongwoo, Woongki, Shuaibo, Han, JL, Juwon, Chih En, and Daisuke—was formed through SBS’s survival competition show Universe League. The group’s name, an acronym for “All time Hall Of Famer,” represents both their aspirations and the symbolic significance of the number nine, which they view as a number seeking completeness.

Their debut album, WHO WE ARE, reflects AHOF’s journey to define their identity and establish a distinct musical color as they move toward artistic wholeness.

During the event, youngest member Daisuke shared his thoughts on debuting, saying, “It’s incredible that our dream has become reality. I want to give back to the fans who helped make the dreams of all nine of us come true by sharing great music.” He added, “Please continue supporting us as we work toward becoming Hall of Famers.”



Leader Steven also cited global superstars BTS as AHOF’s role model, explaining, “BTS constantly challenges themselves with new concepts and sounds. When I think of the Hall of Fame, I think of BTS. That’s our ultimate goal as well, which is why we look up to them.”

WHO WE ARE dropped at 6 p.m. KST on July 1, followed by AHOF’s debut fan showcase held later that evening at 8 p.m.
