There’s a new K-pop boy band rising fast—and they’ve got their eyes on the global stage.
Meet AHOF (short for All-time Hall of Famer), the 9-member rookie group making headlines with their bold energy, fresh visuals, and ambitions that reach straight to Coachella.
The group—Steven, Jeongwoo, Woongki, Shuaibo, Han, JL, Juwon, Chih En, and Daisuke—was formed through SBS’s competitive reality series Universe League and has already racked up serious numbers with their debut.
Their first single, “Rendezvous,” dropped just hours ago but has already surpassed 1 million YouTube views, signaling that AHOF is not playing around.
“WHO WE ARE” — Debut Album That Says It All
The group’s debut mini-album is titled “WHO WE ARE,” and that’s exactly what AHOF is showing the world: identity, diversity, and unshakable drive.
In an exclusive with TMZ, the members opened up about the creative process behind their music and what makes them unique.
“We’re nine different voices, backgrounds, and styles,” said JL.
“But we come together as one sound. That’s what WHO WE ARE means to us.”
Dream Collabs & American Food Goals? Yes, Please.
When asked who they’d love to collaborate with, the group name-dropped Sabrina Carpenter, showing just how locked in they are to the current U.S. pop wave.
And yes—they’ve got major love for American burger culture.
From Shake Shack to In-N-Out, AHOF is ready to eat their way through their upcoming U.S. tour—whenever that may be.
“We’re practicing like we’re performing at Coachella,” JL confessed.
“That’s the dream stage for us. We want to be ready when that moment comes.”
