Formation through Universe League and other activities

[edit]

AHOF was formed through SBS's reality competition series Universe League, which aired from November 22, 2024 to January 24, 2025. The show brought 42 contestants from around the world, primarily in South Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Australia, and the Philippines, to compete and to debut in a multinational boy group.[1]

Before appearing on the program, several members had already been active in the entertainment industry. In May 2019, Steven competed in Mnet's reality competition series Produce X 101 under his full name as a DS Entertainment trainee and was eliminated after finishing in 72nd place.[2] He then debuted as a member of Luminous in 2021.[3] In October 2019, Cha Woong-ki competed in To Be World Klass.[4] He ranked third and made his debut as a member of a ten-member boy group TOO in April 2020, which rebrand as TO1 in March 2021.[5][6] On June 17, 2022, WakeOne announced Cha Woong-ki's departure from TO1.[7] In 2021, Zhang Shuaibo took part in the iQIYI reality competition series Youth With You 3. He was eliminated in the first round and ended up placing somewhere in the 63rd–118th range.[8] In 2023, Cha Woong-ki and Zhang Shuaibo took part in the Mnet reality competition show Boys Planet and both of them were eliminated in the eleventh episode, ranking at 20th place and 28th place, respectively.[9][10] In March 2023, JL made his debut as a member of the Philippine boy group Pluus.[11]
