The group AHOF has perfectly captured the hearts of Japanese fans.
AHOF (Steven, Seo Jeong-woo, Cha Woong-ki, Zhang Shuai-bo, Park Han, JL, Park Joo-won, Zuan, Daisuke) has been meeting local fans since the 1st with the ‘AHOF 1st Mini Album [WHO WE ARE] RELEASE EVENT IN JAPAN’.
This release event is a small-scale promotion limited to 150 people. Initially, it was scheduled to be held for one day each in Osaka and Tokyo, but due to the enthusiastic support from local fans, three additional days were added in each city. The members spent special time with fans through performances and talks of ‘WHO WE ARE’ on the 1st and 2nd.
On the 1st, a mini live performance was held at AMAMI STADIUM. The venue was filled with fans on both the first and second floors, eager to see the members, showcasing the hot response towards AHOF.
Amidst great cheers, AHOF opened the performance with ‘Blue School, Green Grass, Red Sneakers’. This stage received explosive reactions as it was showcased after the music video release on the 29th. The members left a strong first impression on fans with their refreshing visuals and bright, lively performances.
Following this, there was a time to get to know AHOF more deeply. The members shared various stories, including album introductions, their feelings about ranking first on music shows, and the reasons behind their debut decision, adding another layer of fun with a mini corner where they showcased their charms for a minute. Finally, they successfully concluded the performance with the title track ‘Let’s Meet Again There (Rendezvous)’.
On the 2nd, the second meeting took place at DREAM SQUARE HALL. Again, AHOF presented a diverse performance with the title track ‘Let’s Meet Again There (Rendezvous)’ and the included song ‘Blue School, Green Grass, Red Sneakers’. Additionally, the members decorated the finale of the mini live with a reinterpretation of the competition song ‘Mamma Mia’ from ‘Universe League’ in their own version.
Above all, during the two days of the release event, the local popularity of AHOF was felt more intensely than ever. Fans who could not watch the performance surrounded the venue, and crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of the members on their way home, creating a spectacular scene. This clearly demonstrates AHOF's strength, which has transcended beyond Korea to Japan.
Riding this momentum, AHOF will continue the Osaka release event until today (3rd). After that, they will hold promotions in Tokyo from the 8th to the 10th.
