Boy group AHOF has successfully wrapped up their music show promotions for their second mini-album, 'The Passage.'

The nine-member group, consisting of Steven, Seo Jung-woo, Cha Woong-ki, Jang Shuai-bo, Park Han, Joel, Park Ju-won, Zeun, and Daisuke, finished their activities with their final performance on SBS's 'Inkigayo' on November 23rd.

Through their agency, F&F Entertainment, AHOF expressed their gratitude, stating, "We worked hard with sincerity for this album and are happy to have received so much love. Thanks to FOHA (official fan club name) for being with us for the past three weeks, we were able to enjoy every stage." They added, "Although the music show promotions have ended, we still have a lot more to show. Please continue to be with us until the end as more amazing stages and activities await."

'The Passage' tells the story of AHOF standing at the boundary between boyhood and adulthood. The members transformed into 'rough youths,' embodying the growth pains of anxiety and confusion, and captivated stages with their performances. Their title track, 'Pinocchio Is A Liar,' garnered significant attention for its K-pop ballad-inspired melody reminiscent of the 2nd and 3rd generation, coupled with stable live vocals and powerful choreography.

Their performances have been praised for their synergy, solidifying their status as 'monster rookies.' The song's success led to them achieving a triple crown on music shows, winning their first trophy on SBS funE's 'The Show' just a week after their comeback, followed by wins on MBC M's 'Show Champion' and KBS2's 'Music Bank.'

Beyond the music show wins, AHOF demonstrated immense popularity by consistently ranking high on music charts with their song searches and topping 'hot stage' rankings on shows like 'Music Bank,' 'Show! Music Core,' and 'Inkigayo.'

While music show promotions have concluded, AHOF will continue to engage with fans through various activities. They are scheduled to appear on ENA's 'K-Pop Up Chart Show' on November 28th, followed by appearances at 'AAA 2025' and 'ACON 2025' on December 6th and 7th. They will also perform at the '2025 Gayo Daechukje Global Festival' on December 19th.

Looking ahead to 2026, AHOF has announced their first fan concert, '2026 AHOF 1st FAN-CON <AHOFOHA : All time Heartfelt Only FOHA>,' which will be held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on January 3rd and 4th, 2026.

Fans have flooded social media with congratulatory messages and support for AHOF's successful promotions. Comments like "This comeback was truly legendary!" and "Already looking forward to the next one" reflect the strong positive reception and anticipation for the group's future activities.
