AHOF fans, known as FOHA, flooded social media with celebration Tuesday after F&F Entertainment signaled strong optimism about extending the nine-member boy group’s activities, easing early fears of a short-lived project run.

The excitement began when Sports Chosun reported exclusively that AHOF — formed through SBS’s Universe League — had agreed to add three years to its original four-year contract with F&F, creating a historic seven-year exclusive deal. This would make AHOF the first audition-project group to transition into a permanent act rather than disband after a fixed period like Wanna One or ZEROBASEONE.

Hours later, F&F issued an official statement: “We are currently continuing positive discussions with the members and their respective agencies regarding the extension of group activities. We will provide specific details as soon as they are finalized.” The careful wording was widely interpreted as confirmation that talks are progressing smoothly, with all members on board.
FOHA’s reaction was immediate and heartfelt.

On X and Weverse, hashtags #AHOF_7YEARS and #WeAreAHOF trended rapidly as fans posted emotional messages. “Finally, no more countdown to goodbye — they’re building a real future together,” one popular fan account wrote, gathering thousands of likes within minutes. Others shared screenshots of the group’s impressive sales: over 360,000 first-week copies for debut mini-album Who We Are and a career-high 380,000 for The Passage, plus multiple music-show wins.

The news comes at a perfect time. AHOF recently wrapped its first fan-con AHOFOHA: All Time Heartfelt Only FOHA and is preparing for a spotlight slot at the April 7 KBS Open Concert in Yangsan. Main vocalist Park Han’s casual selfies also went viral last week, boosting visibility.

Industry watchers say the potential long-term contract will allow F&F to invest more confidently in world tours, deeper album concepts, and global promotions without the usual project-group constraints. For FOHA, it means more music, more stages, and the chance to watch their idols grow as a unified team.

As one fan summed up in a widely shared post: “This isn’t just an extension — it’s proof that hard work and genuine connection can rewrite the rules.”
