AHOF has shown a new brilliance. Today (4th) afternoon, AHOF held a showcase to commemorate the release of their 2nd mini-album "The Passage" at the YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin District, Seoul. Regarding this album, Cha Eung-gi said, "When I think of youth, it is beautiful and makes my heart warm, right? But rather than just beautiful, there are many times that are turbulent and painful." He continued, "It means accepting such anxieties and finding oneself within them. We expressed our growth from our debut album until now in our own way." Seo Jong-woo mentioned, "I had anxiety about having to show a more grown-up version than last time. During that time, the members helped a lot, and we praised each other." The concept incorporates Pinocchio. The title track "Pinocchio Dislikes Lies" features choreography that symbolizes Pinocchio's "nose" and the music video overlaps the setting of "the nose growing when lying" with the myth of the Tower of Babel, embedding authenticity and growth. In the music video, they showcase "youth that is not necessarily brilliant." A solid storyline stands out, differing from the recent dance-centered music videos. Seo Jong-woo stated, "While preparing for this activity, our teamwork improved. We fit well together without exchanging words, and just by looking into each other's eyes, we understand what we want." Cha Eung-gi added, "If our debut had many boyish dance vibes, this time you can see a lot of tough dance lines." Steven expressed, "I want to take first place in all music shows and show how much we have changed," while Cha Eung-gi smiled, saying, "There are opportunities to showcase at year-end award ceremonies and big stages. I want to hold many trophies. I want to be reborn as the best newcomer of 2025."
