Great news for FOAH. On March 25 it has been reported by Sports Chosun, that it was recently decided that boy group AHOF will extend their exclusive contract with their agency, F&F Entertainment, for 7 years.
AHOF is a 9-member multinational boy group consisting of Steven, Seo Jung-woo, Cha Woong-ki, Chang Shuai-bo, Park Han, J.L, Park Ju-won, Zhen, and Daisuke, who were selected through the SBS show “Universe League”.
They made a spectacular debut on July 1, 2025, releasing their first mini-album, ‘Who We Are’. According to sources, the AHOF members initially signed a four-year exclusive contract with F&F Entertainment at the time. However, with the contract still far from expiring, all members have decided to extend their contracts with F&F Entertainment by three years, signing a seven-year exclusive contract. As this is the first such instance among project groups originating from audition programs, the industry is showing keen interest.
Groups produced through audition programs, such as Wanna One, I.O.I, and Zerobaseone, typically signed exclusive contracts with agencies affiliated with broadcasters for a limited period and engaged in temporary activities. Once these activities, which had a set end date, concluded, the members would return to their original agencies to re-debut in new groups or as solo artists. However, by signing a formal seven-year contract, AHOF has gained new vitality as a permanent group rather than a temporary one. The industry believes that AHOF will open up new possibilities for audition groups.
Since they will be active as official artists rather than as project activities with a fixed end date, more systematic support becomes possible. Through this, the group will strengthen its capabilities and build a stronger bond. Ultimately, this will allow them to compete with more solid music and concepts, and serve as an opportunity to expand their fandom and make an impact in the global market.
