'The Passage' is an album that contains the story of AHOF, who stands on the border between boyhood and adulthood. The members transformed into "rough youth" who become stronger as they endure growing pains like anxiety and confusion, dominating the stage.

The group solidified their presence as a "monster rookie" with a perfect synergy of stable live performances, rough energy, diverse styling, and visuals. https://m.entertain.naver.com/home/article/408/0000288936
