They achieved a triple crown on major Korean music programs just ten days after debuting, leaving a strong impression on the K-POP scene. The release events for their debut album in Japan in August and September were successful with many fans participating. Furthermore, they proved their popularity overseas by selling out their solo fan concert in the Philippines. In December this year, they will receive the newly established 'AAA Best New Artist Award' at the 'Asia Artist Awards 2025', demonstrating their exceptional presence as a rookie just five months after debut. Their second mini-album 'The Passage' sold approximately 390,000 copies in its first week, and the title track 'Pinocchio Hates Lies' also achieved a triple crown on music programs, further accelerating their momentum. Additionally, they are set to hold their first domestic fan concert in Korea, 'AHOFOHA: All time Heartfelt Only FOHA', on January 3 and 4 next year, marking a significant event for their full-scale activities. The upcoming events in Japan are expected to showcase their growth and diverse performances.
