AHOF Brings Together 10,000 Fans in the Philippines

K-POP group AHOF closed out its Manila shows over the weekend, capping the Philippine stop of the group's first Asia tour.

The nine-member act, made up of Steven, Seo Jeong-woo, Cha Woong-gi, Zhang Shuai-bo, Park Han, JL, Park Ju-won, Zeen, and Daisuke, performed "2026 AHOF 1ST TOUR : THE FIRST SPARK IN MANILA" on the 25th and 26th at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila. Around 10,000 fans filled the venue across the two nights.

The concerts marked AHOF's return to Manila after the group's first fan concert there last year. The setlist pulled from AHOF's catalog so far, running from the debut album through the recently released third EP.

The show opened with "IGNITION" and "We ready." The members kept the energy up as the night went on, drawing loud sing-alongs during signature tracks like "Pinocchio Hates Lies" and "Rendezvous."

New material anchored the middle of the set. AHOF performed "RUN TO YOU," the title track from its third EP, along with the B-side "JUST SAY YES." "JUST SAY YES" was staged for the first time in Manila, and the entire audience stood through the performance. In response to the reaction, the members brought the song back two more times as an encore, running it three times in total.

After the show, AHOF told the crowd the two nights had been unforgettable. "We were so happy to perform surrounded by the cheers and sing-alongs of FOHA," the group said, referring to its official fandom name. "FOHA is what keeps us going. We'll never forget the love you've given us, and we want to be artists who give it back."

AHOF kicked off its first Asia tour, "THE FIRST SPARK," in Seoul in May. The Manila dates closed out a five-city run that also stopped in Osaka, Tokyo, and Kuala Lumpur.
