Returning to Manila nearly a year after their first visit in 2025, the nine-member group performed songs from their debut mini-album 'WHO WE ARE,' including 'Rendezvous,' 'The Universe,' 'The Little Star,' and 'Incompleted.'
They also treated fans to later releases such as 'Pinocchio,' 'Sugar High,' 'Everything is Love,' 'Our Story,' and a special performance of 'Just Say Yes' dedicated to their Filipino fandom, FOHAs.
The show featured several surprise unit performances that drew loud cheers from the audience. JL, Woongki, Shuaibo, and Chih En performed IVE's 'BANG BANG,' while Steven, Jeongwoo, Han, Juwon, and Daisuke took fans back to the second-generation K-pop era with BTS' 'I Need U.'
The concert reached another high point when all nine members reunited on stage for EXO's 'Love Me Right,' combining synchronized choreography with powerful live vocals.
Despite debuting only in 2025, AHOF showed confidence and versatility throughout the concert, smoothly shifting between bright, playful performances and emotional ballads. Their polished stage presence reflected the growth they have achieved in just a short time.
