AHOF officially introduced 'FOHA,' a reverse of the group's name, but with a special meaning. Sports Chosun reported that the reveal anchors community branding early in the group's rise, following its summer debut.
Why the fan club
The formal fan club standardises communication, recognition, and event access across platforms like Weverse, enabling coordinated global activations under a single banner. Coverage notes members' delight at "finally" calling supporters by name, setting a framework for structured engagement from the outset.
Built with participation
Before the reveal, AHOF ran a fan naming drive that gathered submissions and votes, making 'FOHA' a co-created emblem between the group and its international base. Reports tie the selection to broad participation, and collaborative identity-building within the fandom.
Recent activities
The nonet has sustained momentum with music show promotions, including stages on M Countdown and Inkigayo tied to debut track 'Rendezvous.' July listings show multiple wins for 'Rendezvous' across weekly broadcasts, marking a strong opening run for the rookie team.
Regional push
AHOF held its first Philippine FanCon 'Rendezvous in Manila' at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on August 30, followed by a fan-sign in Quezon City the next day.
Local outlets and organizers detailed ticketing, seat plans, and benefits, underscoring rising demand and swift regional scaling.
Debut rollout
Formed through SBS's 'Universe League,' the group launched the mini album 'WHO WE ARE' with title track 'Rendezvous,' framed by performance-forward, cinematic pop. Media and official schedules outlined a coordinated debut timeline that set up the fan club announcement's timing.
