The group AHOF will perform on their first year-end music festival stage.
AHOF (Steven, Seo Jeong-woo, Cha Woong-gi, Jang Shuai-bo, Park Han, J.L., Park Joo-won, Zeon, Daisuke) will perform on the 2025 KBS Song Festival Global Festival (hereafter 2025 Song Festival) to be held at Incheon Songdo Convensia on the afternoon of the 19th.
AHOF proved their solid influence as a rising rookie by being invited to a year-end music festival stage just five months after debut. That day AHOF will perform the title track of their second mini album The Passage, "Pinocchio hates lies." In addition, Steven, Park Han, J.L., and Park Joo-won will participate in a special stage to add to the Song Festival's excitement.
AHOF is known to K-pop fans for music and performances that capture a distinctive youthful sensibility. They plan to give a special year-end by presenting a performance that fully captures AHOF's unique color in this broadcast as well.
This year AHOF solidified their presence as a "monster rookie" by scoring back-to-back hits with two albums. Earlier, WHO WE ARE ranked fifth for first-week sales among boy group debut albums at the time of release, and the debut song "See you there again (Rendezvous)" achieved the feat of winning three music show trophies within 10 days of debut.
Their recently released mini album 2 The Passage also surpassed the previous work and continued an upward trend, marking a career high.
These achievements have also been followed by global acclaim. U.S. Stardust magazine selected AHOF as one of the "10 K-pop groups to watch in 2026," and included "See you there again (Rendezvous)" on its list of the "25 best K-pop songs of 2025."
Also, Google announced that AHOF made the list in the "Global Breakout Searches: K-Pop Debuts" category of Year in Search 2025.
Meanwhile, the 2025 Song Festival, in which AHOF will perform, will be broadcast live on KBS2TV at 7:15 p.m. on the 19th.
