They are reportedly moving to become a permanent group with an industry standard contract length.
On Wednesday, March 25, Korean media broke the news that the nine members of the K-pop group are in talks regarding the possible extension of their current three-year-long contract with their parent label, F&F Entertainment.
As per these reports, the band composed of JL, Cha Woongki, Park Han, Steven, Zhang Shuaibo, Park Juwon, Seo Jeongwoo, Chih En, and Daisuke, will be extending it to the K-pop industry standard seven years.
In response to the matter, F&F issued the following statement, which confirms the ongoing discussions.
“We are currently holding positive discussions with the members and each agency regarding the extension of the group’s activities,” it said. “We will provide detailed information as soon as it is finalized.”
AHOF was created through the survival-reality program ‘Universe League,’ which aired from November 2024 until January 2025. They are the first boy band under the company, which is also home to UNIS.
In July that year, they made their debut with their first mini-album Who We Are, which carried the songs Rendezvous and The Universe, among others.
Then in November, AHOF made their music comeback with the release of their second mini-album entitled The Passage, which featured the track Pinocchio as its lead single.
Since their debut, they have repeatedly returned to the Philippines, with their first being for their first fan-con Rendezvous in August 2025, followed by the Kapuso Countdown To 2026 on New Year’s Day, and their fan-con in Cebu last February, a visit that included their appearances in Laguna and Manila.
