The group Ahop (AHOF) heated up a sweltering Friday night even more with the passion of youth.
Ahop (Steven, Seo Jeong-woo, Cha Woong-gi, Jang Shuai-vo, Park Han, J.L., Park Joo-won, Zuan Daisuke) appeared on KBS 2TV's MUSIC BANK, which aired this afternoon (17th), and delivered the title track of their new album, RUN TO YOU, imprinting their presence.
The moment the stage began, Ahop's energetic charm burst out over a lively beat. The members conveyed a deeper, more mature mood and perfectly embodied the concept, maximizing the song's appeal with dynamic lines of dance that conveyed a refreshing sense of speed and precise choreography that highlighted their flawless nine-member teamwork.
Ahop's mini album 3, RUN TO YOU, released on the 8th, is an album that captures the conviction of a heart that heads straight toward one person without hesitation. Having sung the narrative of wandering and imperfect youth through their mini albums 1 and 2, Ahop presents a growth narrative of moving forward with certainty in their emotions through this new release, revealing a more mature musical capability.
The title track of the same name, RUN TO YOU, is a song in which the cool driving feel of an electric band and the texture of trendy synth-pop blend exquisitely. Even amid complex and dizzying moments, the lyrics embody a firm straight-ahead energy that reaches out toward only one person.
Currently the song is quickly gaining word-of-mouth among global fans as a refreshingly listenable track for the hot summer season. Proving this, RUN TO YOU swept to No. 1 on iTunes top album charts in six countries — Malaysia, Brunei, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar and the Philippines — and has also proudly succeeded in entering major domestic music charts such as Melon and Bugs, demonstrating its popularity at home and abroad.
Meanwhile, on the broadcast of MUSIC BANK that day, Ahop performed alongside Kihyun (MONSTA X), Sunmi, Yeonjun, Li Senne and Trendz.
