JL Gaspar, a Filipino main vocalist, dancer, and center of nine-member K-pop group AHOF, posted on Weverse on September 7 that a recent foot treatment has him struggling to walk. He kept the tone light, adding “it hurts HAHAHA” even while describing the discomfort. The update lands after a stretch of shoulder, palm, and elbow problems that already had him performing with visible bandages.
AHOF formed through the SBS survival show Universe League and debuted on July 1, 2025, with the mini album Who We Are. JL ranked first overall with more than three million votes. The group followed with The Passage in November 2025 and Run To You in July 2026, while completing their first Asia tour, “The First Spark,” across Seoul, Osaka, Tokyo, Manila, and other cities. Fans who saw him power through fan signs and stages this year noted the same determination that carried him through the intense pre-debut competition.
On X, supporters immediately shared the Weverse message alongside clips of JL still delivering sharp choreography with a bandaged foot and arm. Many wrote that his work ethic is clear but the string of injuries is worrying. Comments repeatedly asked him to rest, praising how he still creates a positive atmosphere for fans even when hurting. The close bond with the FOHA fandom shows in the volume of get-well messages urging F&F Entertainment and the member himself to prioritize recovery over schedules.
