The final members of AHOF finally took off the veil.
On January 25 at 11:30 p.m. KST, SBS' audition survival show, Universe League, aired its last episode featuring the 21 finalists from Team Rhythm, Groove, and Beat.
Each team showcased two original stages for the final round. With the cumulative scores from on-air and online voting, team Rhythm took home the "Prism Cup" and secured its debut with over 4 million votes.
While the remaining teams failed to secure the trophy, each of their MVPs—Groove's Park Han and Beat's Cha Woong Ki—were added to the final lineup, making them a nine-member act.
The new boy group will debut with the name All Time Hall of Famer, AHOF for short, which refers to the "bold ambition of nine players who dream of becoming global stars to enter the K-pop Hall of Fame," explained by MK Sports. The name is also a play on the Korean word for "nine," which is "ahop."
Here are the final nine AHOF members:
JL Gaspar
After earning over 3 million votes, JL Gaspar, 20 years old, was hailed as the show's first place. He is the Filipino member of the team.
During the show, he was lauded for being the "3-pick" member chosen by three mentors for his all-rounder aspects with his vocals, dance, rap, and visuals.

The oldest of the team, Steven, 24, is an ethnically Korean from Australia. He drew attention throughout the show, thanks to his star qualities and impeccable leadership.
