KPOP DISCOVER's AHOF note
AHOF turns on fast growth out of Universe League and on a multinational line-up. Born from SBS Universe League, this 9-member boy group under F&F Entertainment takes its name from All-time Hall Of Famer, and because the Korean word 아홉 means nine, the name carries the aim of nine members reaching the hall of fame of K-pop.
Start from Rendezvous, The Universe and Pinocchio. Rendezvous gives the band sound and the emotional line of the debut, The Universe a bright youthful feel, and Pinocchio a fairy-tale concept with the newest performance, and together they show how much ground was covered in a short time.
The members carry Korean, Korean-Australian, Filipino, Chinese, Taiwanese and Japanese backgrounds. The popularity of JL in the Philippines and the route Daisuke opens in Japan mean the closer you look at individuals, the more ways in appear. Taken as Rendezvous, then The Universe, then Pinocchio, the path covers the emotional line, the youthful feel and the fairy-tale concept.
Editors' take Rendezvous / The Universe / Pinocchio — three songs carry the fast growth out of Universe League and the multinational line-up, from an F&F 9-piece.
Trivia worth knowing
Name
AHOF is easy to tie to its nine members from the name alone, even at first sight.
Programme
Knowing the story of Universe League makes each member's entry point and the emotional line of Rendezvous much clearer.
Choreography
Set the Rendezvous MV beside the Dance Practice and STUDIO CHOOM and the logic of where the nine stand comes through.
Fandom
FOHA reverses AHOF, so the group and its fans can be remembered as a pair.
Latest phase
Pinocchio pairs a fairy-tale concept with forceful performance, showing how far the group has come since the debut.
Comparison
Lined up with programme-born groups such as ZEROBASEONE and EVNNE, the nine-member shape of AHOF and the F&F context stand out.

Japan activity score
KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 178/ 241 groups
No. 178 of 241 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 74%)
- 0Japanese releases
- 0Japan-related tracks
- 1Members from Japan
- 1Official Japanese accounts
The denominator is the 241 groups, out of 564 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
