The group AHOF brilliantly decorated the first day of ‘Gayo Daejeon Summer’.
AHOF (Steven, Seo Jeong-woo, Cha Woong-ki, Zhang Shuai Bo, Park Han, JL, Park Joo-won, Zuan, Daisuke) made a strong impression on global fans by performing at the ‘2025 NOL Festival: SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer’ held at KINTEX in Ilsan on the afternoon of the 26th.
First, AHOF appeared on the blue carpet in black suits and confidently stated, “We prepared really hard for ‘Gayo Daejeon Summer’. We will blow away the summer heat with our refreshing and poignant charm,” raising expectations for their main stage performance.
Afterward, amidst thunderous cheers, AHOF opened the performance with their debut song ‘Let’s Meet Again There (Rendezvous)’. The stage was specially arranged for ‘Gayo Daejeon Summer’, heating up the atmosphere even more.
In particular, a new dance break section was added in the latter half, leaving a strong impression. AHOF showcased a high-level performance with dynamic movements and perfect unit harmony, continuing without a break.
The powerful group choreography, contrasting with the restrained existing movements, revealed a different charm from AHOF's poignant and refreshing image, and the explosive energy emanating from the members provided a thrilling sensation that seemed to instantly cool down the summer night heat for the audience.
AHOF officially debuted with their first mini-album ‘WHO WE ARE’ on the 1st. Less than a month after their debut, they are clearly establishing their presence with remarkable achievements.
Previously, ‘WHO WE ARE’ achieved an initial sales of 360,985 copies, ranking 5th in the all-time debut album sales for boy groups, and has been ranked on various global music charts beyond Korea.
Their activities on music shows are also noteworthy. AHOF recorded their first win on SBS funE’s ‘The Show’ just a week after their debut. They continued their trophy march by topping MBC M’s ‘Show! Champion’, KBS2TV’s ‘Music Bank’, and ENA’s ‘K-Pop Up Chart Show’ consecutively.
