Nothing compares to the feeling of seeing your fave artists in real life – and we’re sure it’s the same for the artists as well. For AHOF who debuted just on July 1, 2025, it was a thrilling moment for both the group and their fans to finally see each other.
Formed in 2024 after the conclusion of the survival show “Universe League”, the nine-member boy group – consists of Steven, Seo Jeongwoo, Cha Woongki, Zhang Shuaibo, Park Han, JL, Park Juwon, Chih En, and Daisuke – performed for their Filipino fans for the first time during their sold out “1st Philippine FanCon Rendezvous in Manila” last August 30, 2025 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The excitement did not stop there as their fansign event was held the next day at Robinsons Galleria. It was another chance for the fans to see and interact with their idols. From teenagers to adults, the mall’s main atrium was buzzing with energy filled by cheering fans – proving that stanning AHOF knows no age. From fancon to fansign event, there is no denying that AHOF has found their second home in the Philippines.
Here’s a rundown of our top memorable moments during AHOF’s fansign event:
- When AHOF performed “Rendezvous” and “The Universe”
Generous as ever, AHOF gave not just one, but two performances during their fansign event. The thing about their songs is that they evoke heartfelt and nostalgic vibes that feel like a warm hug. They kicked off the event with “Rendezvous” and hit every note and dance step with so much passion and energy. Fun fact: this was our favorite performance of the day! They also performed “The Universe”, an uplifting and bright track that truly resonated with everyone in the crowd.
- When they introduced themselves, one by one
It’s no debate that AHOF members have equally stunning visuals, but when they began introducing themselves, it felt so magical as if they sprinkled pixie dust all over the venue. What we loved most was how we got to see both their group chemistry and their individual charms shine through their solo introductions.
- When the members played the “Who’s who?” game
This moment felt like we were watching a Korean variety show live! The members were so enthusiastic about the game and thought about their answers very seriously. Of course, we got to learn some trivial facts about them: Jeongwoo is the most romantic, Woongki has the brightest energy, JL and Steven are the first members to take on new challenges, and Juwon is the most competitive.
- When AHOF met their fans during the fansign segment
After the performances and the game, then came the fansign session. AHOF fans lined up for the chance to have a little chat with the members and get their posters signed. Each fan stepped onto the stage with beaming smiles, some even in tears, as they couldn’t believe what just happened. What else can we say? These idol-fan interactions were pure magic!
- When they took photos with their fans
During their closing ment, AHOF invited their fans to take photos with them. Despite the large crowd, the atmosphere felt so intimate. The photos taken just immortalized the beautiful memory shared with their Filipino fans. Of course, it’s all sealed with a lot of love.
- When AHOF expressed their gratitude
After the fansign event, the boys of AHOF took a moment to thank their fans. You could see how genuinely grateful they were, their eyes were sparkling with appreciation. Filipino member JL specifically expressed his gratitude to everyone who came despite the heavy rain. It was clear that no amount of rain can beat the warmth of Filipino love and support – and AHOF was more than deserving of it!
- When they promised to return to the Philippines
AHOF left no what ifs if they will be coming back to the country. The group made a promise to return to the Philippines, as this visit was just the beginning. This promise is more than enough to get the fans excited. We know that the wait will always be worth it. We can’t wait to see you again, AHOF!
