Rookie boy group AHOF (Stephen, Seo Jungwoo, Cha Woonggi, Zhang Shuaibo, Park Han, JL, Park Juwon, Zeon, Daisuke) has been recognized for their remarkable achievements in their debut year.

AHOF attended the 10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025 (AAA 2025) held on December 6 at Kaohsiung National Stadium, where they won the AAA Best New Artist Award.

The Best New Artist category was newly established for this year’s AAA 2025. The award is given to newly debuted artists who demonstrate outstanding musical capability and creativity. Just five months after their debut, AHOF not only made their first appearance at AAA but also took home a trophy, firmly establishing their presence as Best New Artists.

After receiving the award, AHOF expressed their gratitude through F&F Entertainment:


“Thanks to our company staff who work so hard by our side, and to our FOHA (official fanclub), who always send us so much love, we were able to achieve this meaningful result of winning Best New Artist.”


During the ceremony, AHOF performed their debut track “Rendezvous (Let’s Meet There Again)” following their award acceptance. Their stage featured a clock motif symbolizing time moving and stopping, creating a unique performance. The group’s signature youthful energy heightened the atmosphere of the awards show.

AHOF has been praised for achieving “all-time legendary” results immediately after debut. Their first mini album “WHO WE ARE” ranked 5th in first-week sales among all boy group debut albums at the time of release, and they won three music show trophies within just 10 days of debut.

Their second mini album “The Passage,” released on November 4, also broke their personal record, selling nearly 390,000 copies in its first week. With the title track “Pinocchio Hates Lies,” they added another three music show wins, becoming the rookie group with the most music show trophies this year.

Meanwhile, AHOF will perform once again at “ACON 2025,” the AAA festival held at the same venue on December 7.
