AHOF Are Ready To Introduce Themselves With Debut Mini-Album ‘Who We Are’

AHOF are officially making their highly anticipated debut next month.

The rookie K-pop boy group was formed through the idol reality survival show Universe League, which aired from November 22, 2024 to January 24, 2025. Opening auditions to interested participants from all over the world, the series serves as the male equivalent of Universe Ticket — the show that formed rising K-pop girl group UNIS.

Universe League involved the participants being divided into different teams and competing during the show’s run, receiving mentorship from the likes of NCT’s Ten, Yangyang, Kun, and Xiaojun, GOT7’s Yugyeom, BTOB’s Lee Changsub, and more. Out of a total of 42 contestants, nine finalists were ultimately chosen to become the group’s official lineup. Namely, they are Steven, Jeongwoo, Shuaibo, JL, Juwon, Chih En, Daisuke, Woongki, and Han.

Following their preparations since the show’s finale, the nine-piece group are set to make their official debut this July 1, 2025 (Tuesday). With this, they will be releasing their first mini-album, entitled Who We Are. It will include a total of six tracks, including the lead track “Rendezvous.”

Notably, member JL (full name, JL Gaspar) is the group’s only Filipino member and was No. 1 ranked contestant during the finale of Universe League, securing a total of 3,168,841 votes. Alongside being in AHOF, JL is also a member of PLUUS — a P-pop boy group under SBTown who made their debut in March 2023.
