Late Saturday evening, eagle-eyed supporters caught Zhang Shuaibo and Chih En dining at the popular Haidilao hotpot branch in COEX Mall. Witnesses noted Chih En carrying what appeared to be a camera while surrounded by staff, leading many to believe the pair was filming content — possibly a personal vlog or teaser material. The duo later moved through the bustling mall, where Chih En debuted a striking dark blue hair color and Shuaibo showcased a neatly trimmed style.
The timing has FOHAs convinced activity is ramping up. AHOF, the nine-member multinational act (Steven, Jeongwoo, Woongki, Shuaibo, Han, JL, Juwon, Chih En, Daisuke) formed through SBS’s Universe League, debuted in July 2025 with WHO WE ARE and followed with their second mini-album The Passage on November 4, 2025, featuring the title track “Pinocchio.” It marked their last group release — five months ago — before Chih En’s health-related hiatus from September 2025. The Taiwanese visual resumed activities in January 2026, rejoining for the group’s first fan concert AHOFOHA: All Time Heartfelt Only For HA at Jangchung Arena.
F&F Entertainment has not confirmed any comeback plans, but the casual yet polished appearances align with typical pre-release patterns in K-pop: hairstyle changes, coordinated outings, and subtle content shoots often signal preparations. Social media is abuzz with fan photos and theories, with many expressing excitement over Chih En’s full return and the group’s growing international footprint — including recent New Year’s performances in the Philippines.
As AHOF continues building momentum from their survival-show origins, these Seoul sightings serve as a tantalizing hint that new music could arrive sooner than expected. Fans are watching closely for official announcements in the coming weeks.
