The group AHOF is officially joining this summer's K-pop battle with their third mini album, 'RUN TO YOU.' Comprising Steven, Seo Jung-woo, Cha Woong-gi, Jang Shuaibo, Park Han, JL, Park Ju-won, Zeoan, and Daisuke, AHOF will release their new album on various online music streaming platforms at 6 PM on the 8th and kick off their promotional activities.

This album features a total of five tracks, including the title track of the same name, 'RUN TO YOU,' as well as 'Sugar High,' 'JUST SAY YES,' 'Because It's Just You,' and 'Our Story.' It captures the unwavering certainty of a heart racing straight toward someone, showcasing AHOF's deepened musical identity.

Marking a leap forward as youth who push ahead with conviction, fueled by their periods of growth, this comeback highlights three main points of interest.

① From 'Imperfection' to 'Conviction': An Extension of Their Coming-of-Age Narrative Over the past year, AHOF has been singing about the many faces of youth within the grand narrative of a 'journey toward perfection.' Their debut album, 'WHO WE ARE,' depicted imperfect boys taking their first steps, while their second mini album, 'The Passage,' captured the growing pains they experienced along the way. With this third mini album, they present an even deeper sensibility and matured energy, portraying youth who are now certain of their feelings and run forward without hesitation.

② An Organically Connected Tracklist Following an Emotional Arc Since their debut, AHOF has used intro and outro tracks to connect their albums into a single cohesive story. This new release is also structured so that all five tracks flow organically along one emotional arc. Opening with the driving title track 'RUN TO YOU,' the album moves through the sweet attraction of 'Sugar High,' the reassuring answer of 'JUST SAY YES,' and the steadfast devotion of 'Because It's Just You,' before concluding with 'Our Story' at the end of a long journey, doubling the enjoyment for listeners.

③ High Member Participation with Sincere Messages The members' active involvement in the songwriting credits has also elevated the overall quality of this album. Cha Woong-gi, Park Han, and Park Ju-won contributed to the lyrics for the b-side track 'Our Story.' Notably, Cha Woong-gi has been credited as a lyricist on every album release from debut to the present, and Park Han further proved his musical versatility following his work on the previous album. Additionally, Park Ju-won took on lyric writing for the first time through this release, adding a special touch by embedding his genuine feelings for the fans into the words.

With its diverse musical composition, organic emotional arc, and the members' heartfelt messages, this new release—paired with upgraded performances—is expected to capture listeners' ears this summer.
