The group Ahop (AHOF) won two music show trophies.
Ahop (AHOF·Steven, Seo Jeong-woo, Cha Woong-gi, Jang Shuai Bo, Park Han, J.L., Park Joo-won, Zeon, Daisuke) took first place on MBC M and MBC every1's Show! Champion, broadcast on the 12th, with the title track from their mini album 2, "Pinocchio hates lies."
On that broadcast, Ahop was announced as the owner of the champion song trophy after defeating formidable senior acts. With this, they followed The Show by claiming first place on Show! Champion, becoming two-time winners on music programs.
Through their agency F&F Entertainment, Ahop said they wanted to thank FOHA, their official fan club, first for giving them such a big gift again. They added they feel they must work harder seeing fans always cheering by their side.
They also offered thanks to everyone who worked hard to bring "The Passage" to fruition and said Ahop will do their best for the remainder of their activities.
"Pinocchio hates lies," the song that gave Ahop the No. 1 spot, is a band-sound track inspired by the fairy tale Pinocchio. It expresses a desire to be honest with "you" despite anxiety and wavering.
The song has received praise from global fans. Responses say it is true K-pop, especially noting the nearly four-minute length and lyrics sung entirely in Korean.
Immediately after its release, it succeeded on domestic music charts by reaching No. 1 on Bugs real-time chart and No. 79 on Melon HOT100, and it also showed presence on charts such as Spotify, iTunes and Apple Music.
Currently Ahop is active across music shows, broadcasts and content. Delivering varied charms in their first comeback activities, attention is focused on the activities they will pursue moving forward.<
