[Hanteo News = Reporter KANG SUYOUNG] AHOF STEVEN expressed confidence in the new song “RUN TO YOU.”

 

AHOF held a showcase at YES24 Live Hall on the 8th to commemorate the release of its third mini album, “RUN TO YOU.” On this day, STEVEN said, “When we first heard the demo, all nine of us really liked it, and we even said that it felt like it would be a hit.”

 

Regarding the title track, STEVEN introduced it by saying, “When we first received the demo for the title track, I got the feeling of a summer song from the melody,” adding, “While watching the music video, there were many scenes of us running, and there were many points where we were drinking refreshing drinks in the hot summer weather, sweating, laughing, and having a good time together, so I think we expressed a refreshing feeling.” He added, “It is a song that can help you beat the heat.”

 

Regarding the album, CHA WOONGKI introduced it by saying, “It is an album that captures our firm hearts and certainty as we go straight toward only one person,” adding, “I think the title track ‘RUN TO YOU’ is the song that can express that feeling the best.” STEVEN added, “If we previously captured the growth process of youth, this time, we tried to include a masculine and mature charm through the clear expression of going straight ahead.”

 

When asked who the “YOU” in the song title refers to, PARK HAN said, “The ‘you’ mentioned in the song does not actually refer to a specific person. It could be someone you love, or it could be something you sincerely want to love, like a dream or goal,” adding, “I think it will be a song that you can relate to even more if you listen while thinking of the ‘you’ that is most precious to each of you.”

 

They also showed strong confidence in their performance. PARK JUWON explained, “The concept of the performance is AHOF’s own youth,” adding, “It is not simply choreography that expresses the act of running, but choreography that incorporates AHOF’s journey of moving forward while crossing from one space to another.” He added, “The point choreography is the part where we place our hands on each other’s shoulders and express it as if we are walking alternately, and it carries the meaning of walking together as two.”

 

SEO JEONGWOO said, “This album contains everything from AHOF’s refreshing side to our intense side, so we would be grateful if you watched both the sides of us that you are familiar with and the grown side of AHOF.”

 

AHOF, which debuted in July 2025, is a group that has quickly grown its presence with music that represents youth and sincere messages. On the eighth day after its debut, the group won its first music show No. 1 on “The Show,” and on the 11th day after its debut, it won its first terrestrial music show No. 1 on “Music Bank,” showing a strength unlike that of a rookie. After recording 360,985 copies in initial chodong sales with its debut album, “WHO WE ARE,” AHOF achieved 389,904 copies with its second mini album, “The Passage,” breaking its own initial chodong sales record.

 

The third mini album, “RUN TO YOU,” is the group’s first new release in eight months, and it shows a stronger side of AHOF by capturing youth that moves forward without hesitation, with certainty in their own emotions. The album contains a total of five tracks, including the title track of the same name, “RUN TO YOU,” the pre-release track “Sugar High,” “JUST SAY YES,” “그냥 너라서 그래,” and “Our Story.”

 

AHOF’s third mini album, “RUN TO YOU,” will be released through various online music sites at 6 p.m. on this day. Attention is focused on whether AHOF will be able to break its initial chodong sales record once again with this album, following its previous release.
