Nine member boy group AHOF has just made their debut on 1st July 2025 with their first EP “Who We Are”! AHOF (short for All-time Hall Of Famer) was formed through the reality competition “Universe League” and has members hailing from South Korea, Australia, Taiwan, the Philippines, Japan and China. The title track of the EP is “Rendezvous“, which weaves heartfelt emotion into a dreamy, guitar-and-drum-driven arrangement.
Read on to get to know more about AHOF and their debut journey!
| Q: Please tell us more about your debut title, [Rendezvous]! |
| STEVEN: Our title track has emotional mood with sentimental choreography! |
| Q: Were there any unexpected or memorable moments while preparing for your debut? |
| WOONGKI: I think it was the music video shooting. I remember that no one else in the dorm could wake up except me! So, I had to wake up the members one by one. JL: The music video shooting was the most memorable. I think I will never ever forget that. |
| Q: AHOF was formed from a survival programme, could you share something you have personally learnt from that experience? |
| HAN: Having a chance to be on the stage was the most valuable and great experience. I never had a chance to be on the stage before. JEONGWOO: I learned how to sing, dance different kinds of dances, and being on the stage was the greatest experience for me. |
| Q: After spending more time together, is there any member who turned out to be very different from your first impression? Please tell us! |
| STEVEN: I was surprised with DAISUKE. He was really calm at first, but he is a talkative and really bright person. JEONGWOO: Because now we all are close to each other, so everyone is very different from first impressions. But if I must choose one, then I would say HAN. WOONGKI : JL! He is really funny than I thought! SHUAIBO: CHIHEN! I thought that he almost does not speak but well, he is kind of talkative person. HAN: I first thought that STEVEN was a very cold person, but he is a very affectionate and flexible person. JL: No one! They are the same! JUWON: I think STEVEN! I was afraid of his charismatic visual, but he is really nice and funny person. CHIHEN: SHUAIBO! He looks like a cold person, but he is the funniest person. DAISUKE: I think HAN is different from the first impression. |
| Q: What do the members enjoy doing in their free time? |
| STEVEN: With JEONGWOO and JUWON, we trio play games. JEONGWOO: I play video games with STEVEN and play phone games with HAN. WOONGKI: We have two groups! One group that wants to go out of the dorm and other group staying in the dorm. SHUAIBO: I sleep whenever I have time. HAN: While free time, I sleep or watch movies. JL: I practice, for sure. JUWON: I dance to street-dance in the practice room and watch dramas in bed. CHIHEN: Each of the members spends their time doing what they want DAISUKE: We do phone, play games, watch videos etc. I do a lot of things. |
| Q: Are there any artists (Korean or globally) that AHOF looks up to or will love to collaborate with in the future? |
| SHUAIBO: I want to collab with TWICE! DAISUKE: I want with NCT! |
| Q: If AHOF could go on a holiday to Singapore, what are three things the members would enjoy doing? Have you visited Singapore before? If so, do you have any memories or impressions to share? |
| STEVEN: If I could go to Singapore, then I really want to visit Gardens by the Bay, go to Marina Bay Sands Hotel and of course try Singapore traditional or local foods! JEONGWOO: I want to go to Marina Bay Sands, Universal Studios and Changi Airport! WOONGKI: Take a cruise along the Singapore River, visit the Botanic Gardens, and go to Marina Bay Sands! SHUAIBO: I just want to eat a lot of local foods, go shopping and rest at a great hotel! HAN: Check out the night market, botanical gardens, and Arab Street! JL: Take pictures at the Merlion Fountain, experience the city at night, and see a show! JUWON: With members, going to Universal Studio, try traditional foods, and rest at a great hotel! CHIHEN: I have visited when I was little, so maybe follow past footstep with the members. DAISUKE: I want to go to Marina Bay Sands Hotel, go to Merlion Park, and Gardens by the Bay! |
| Q: The members of AHOF come from different backgrounds and countries. What do you think is the best thing about having members from many different places? |
| STEVEN: We exchange each other’s culture and thoughts which make great synergy! JEONGWOO: Because everyone can speak their languages, wherever we go, we have no problems in communicating. HAN: We can communicate with different languages that fit certain countries. JL: The best thing is that we can learn each other’s cultures. JUWON: We can adapt different languages really quickly and we can share countries’ culture. CHIHEN: We can communicate with different languages. |
| Q: Lastly, do you have a message for the fans cheering you on from Singapore? |
| JUWON: We will repay you with great music and awesome performances as much as you loved us and waited! We love you! |
