Pre-debut: Universe League[]
On January 17, 2024, during the finale of the first season of Universe Ticket, at the very end during the credits, it was revealed that auditions would begin shortly in preparation to debut a boy group.[1] On January 22, it was announced that the show would officially air sometime in the end of the year.[2] On April 14, the show will feature an entirely different format from the first season of the show. The upcoming second season will feature a league of teams battling against one another, and the final winning team that secures the "Prism Cup" will be the team that gets to debut. They announced they will be opening global auditions on April 22 to June 30 for any male born before 2011, regardless of nationality, affiliation with an agency or past experience as a singer.[3]
On January 24, 2025, during the show's finale, the group's name was revealed to be AHOF. The final lineup was announced to include nine members: the seven members from Team Rhythm who won the "Prism Cup" (Steven, Seo Jeong Woo, Zhang Shuai Bo, JL, Park Ju Won, Chih En and Daisuke), along with the top-ranked member from Team Beat, Cha Woong Ki, and from Team Groove, Park Han.[4]
