Nine-member group AHOF wins with two major trophies at the 2026 K-WORLD DREAM AWARDS on August 27 in Goyang, South Korea. The group claimed the K-WORLD DREAM GLOBAL SPOTLIGHT AWARD, recognizing its rapid international breakthrough, and the K-WORLD DREAM BEST FANDOM AWARD for the dedication of its supporters, known as FOHA. The ceremony marked the event’s 10th anniversary and featured a packed stage of acts including ATEEZ and LE SSERAFIM.
Hosts Jun Hyun-moo and Jang Do-yeon kept the “Dreams Come True” evening moving as AHOF delivered a sharp, high-energy performance of “RUN TO YOU,” the title track from its third mini album released earlier this summer. In their acceptance remarks the members thanked fans directly for the support that made the night possible. Fellow rookie act ALPHA DRIVE ONE also collected awards during the show held at KINTEX.
AHOF formed through SBS’s Universe League survival program and debuted on July 1, 2025, under F&F Entertainment with the mini album Who We Are. The nine members, Steven (leader, Korean-Australian), Jeongwoo, Woongki, Shuaibo (China), Han, JL (Philippines), Juwon, Chih En (Taiwan), and Daisuke (Japan) represent six nationalities, a composition that has helped the group connect quickly with global audiences. Their debut EP sold roughly 360,000–370,000 copies in its first week, ranking among the strongest boy-group launches of 2025. Follow-up releases The Passage and RUN TO YOU continued the momentum, while the group has already completed legs of its first Asia tour, “THE FIRST SPARK,” in Seoul, Osaka, Tokyo, and Kuala Lumpur. The Best Fandom win arrives after FOHA was officially named in September 2025; the title is simply AHOF spelled backward and underscores the reciprocal bond the members often highlight.
International fans responded with immediate pride online. Many FOHA accounts posted variations of the same message: the Global Spotlight trophy validated the group’s border-crossing rise, while the Best Fandom award felt like shared recognition for the votes, streams, and consistent support that have fueled AHOF’s first full year.
Members themselves echoed the sentiment on Weverse shortly after the show, expressing gratitude and noting the physical toll of the performance while promising continued effort. For a group still early in its career, the dual wins at a milestone ceremony offer clear markers of both industry notice and fan-powered staying power.
