[OSENWORLD] Rookie boy group AHOF have officially named their fandom FOHA — a title created by simply flipping their own name in the mirror.
The announcement was made during a Weverse livestream on September 9, where the members shared the long-awaited news directly with fans worldwide. What makes it even more meaningful is that the name was chosen through a global contest held from August 20–25, drawing enthusiastic participation from global fans.
The final choice, FOHA, is AHOF spelled in reverse and also echoes the word “FOR,” symbolizing a bond where the group and fans exist for one another.
On the livestream, the members celebrated the reveal: “Until now, we always addressed you as ‘everyone,’ but now we finally have a name to call you. We’re so happy!” They then shouted “FOHA” together and explained its meaning in multiple languages — including Chinese, Tagalog, English, and Japanese — further strengthening their bond with international fans.
Since their debut, AHOF — whose name reflects their ambition to rise into the “Hall of Fame” of K-pop — have quickly earned a reputation as “monster rookies,” an industry term for breakout newcomers. Their first mini album WHO WE ARE ranked fifth in boy group debut album first-week sales, while title track “Rendezvous” claimed three music show wins.
The group has also been building a global presence, holding release events in Osaka and Tokyo and drawing 10,000 attendees at their first fan concert in the Philippines. With the reveal of FOHA, AHOF now stand ready to continue growing their story together with fans worldwide.
