AHOF depicts their unique youth with deep charm. AHOF released their 2nd mini-album 'The Passage' today (the 4th) and unveiled the music video for the title track 'Pinocchio Hates Lies.' The previously released teaser video is short at about 22 seconds but suggests an overwhelming storyline that catches the eye. In the video, AHOF shows expressions of anxiety and confusion in different spaces. The places where the members are seem like a fantasy world rather than reality, stimulating curiosity. Additionally, their repeated falls into another space captured fans' hearts, raising questions about the hidden meanings behind it. Also, a line from the title track's lyrics, 'Were they actually scared?' along with the lyrical melody flowing over unpredictable developments, left a strong aftertaste. The title track 'Pinocchio Hates Lies' is a band sound song inspired by the fairy tale 'Pinocchio.' It expresses the desire to be honest only with 'you' amidst whims, anxiety, and wavering hearts, in AHOF's unique sensibility. The 2nd mini-album 'The Passage' depicts the story of AHOF standing at the boundary between boyhood and adulthood. While the previous work 'WHO WE ARE' depicted the beginning of imperfect youth, 'The Passage' portrays them experiencing the pains of emotional growth and becoming stronger. AHOF made their comeback today with the 2nd mini-album 'The Passage.' They will hold a fan showcase at 8 PM to meet FOHA (the affectionate name for AHOF's fans).
