Chien Chih En, known professionally as Chih En, is a Taiwanese singer and a member of the K-pop project group AHOF. Born on October 28, 2006, in Taipei, Taiwan, he debuted with AHOF in July 2025 after winning a spot on the survival show Universe League. As the group's Visual, Chih En is known for his deer-like eyes and calm, artistic personality. He is also active on TikTok under the handle @j.niity_. [edit]

Chih En was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, where he grew up speaking Mandarin Chinese. Before entering the K-pop industry, he gained a modest following as a TikTok personality in Taiwan, posting casual content that showcased his daily life. He later moved to South Korea to pursue training, joining Pledis Entertainment for a period. There, he trained alongside Kyungmin, who would later debut in the group TWS; the two remain close friends. Chih En eventually transferred to Bill Entertainment, becoming part of their trainee group Bill Ent Boys. In 2024, he was selected as a contestant on the SBS survival show Universe League, which aimed to form a multinational boy group. The show aired from November 22, 2024, to January 24, 2025, featuring 42 contestants from South Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Australia, and the Philippines. Initially placed on Team Beat, he was moved to Team Rhythm after episode 3. Team Rhythm ultimately won the Prism Cup. Over the course of the show, he demonstrated his vocal abilities and stage presence, ultimately securing the 6th overall ranking with 146,731 votes in the finale on January 24, 2025, earning his place as the 8th member of AHOF.

AHOF made their official debut on July 1, 2025, with the extended play Who We Are under F&F Entertainment. Chih En took on the role of Visual within the group, quickly gaining attention for his striking features and calm demeanor. However, on September 16, 2025, the agency announced that he would take a temporary hiatus from group activities due to health concerns, prioritizing his recovery. AHOF continued promotions as an eight-member group during this period. Chih En returned to the stage on January 3, 2026, at AHOF's fan concert, marking his official comeback. Since then, he has been actively participating in group schedules and building his presence in the K-pop scene. Beyond group activities, he has written unreleased ballads and plays guitar, hinting at potential future solo work. He has also composed several ballads that have never been released; occasionally plays them late at night on his guitar. [edit]

Chih En is positioned as the Visual of AHOF, known for his deer-like eyes and rabbit-like appearance. He has a calm, introspective personality that contrasts with occasional clumsiness, which fans find endearing. Media coverage has focused on his survival show journey and his health-related hiatus, portraying him as a thoughtful, artistic individual with a love for literature and poetry. He enjoys reading classic novels and poetry in his free time, and has a habit of underlining favorite lines in books. His background music is "A Journey" by Wonpil. He feels calmer and more creative when it rains. He describes himself as clumsy, frequently tripping over nothing in the dorm. His competitiveness activates when he sees a part of himself that is lacking, motivating him to improve. His goal is "to become someone who delivers messages through his performances." The AHOF fandom is called FOHA. [edit]

Chien Chih En, known professionally as Chih En, has not yet been assessed by iFANN's global fame metrics. As of August 2026, his status is listed as NOT_EVALUATED, meaning that no ranking data has been collected for him. Consequently, there are no specific placements to report across any scope, be it global, regional, or within the K-pop industry. This absence of data reflects the early stage of his career, having debuted with AHOF in July 2025, and the limited time for comprehensive fame tracking. However, his recognition is not negligible; his participation in the survival show Universe League and his subsequent debut have garnered him a dedicated following, particularly among international K-pop fans. His fandom, documented by iFANN, is known as "FOHA." This name is used by his supporters to identify themselves, and it is recognized in official contexts. While his global fame has not yet been quantified, the existence of a named fandom indicates a community that is organized and active enough to have a collective identity. As his career progresses and more data becomes available, iFANN will likely evaluate his standing, but for now, his fame remains unranked.[edit]

Chih En's nickname is Universe's Handsome Boy, a title that reflects his survival show origins. He has admitted to feeling awkward when holding a selfie camera, a quirk that fans find endearing. In private, he talks to his houseplant, a habit he keeps secret. Before joining Bill Entertainment, he trained at Pledis Entertainment, where he met Kyungmin of TWS, and the two remain close friends. His representative number is 28, matching his birthday, and his emoji is 🐰 because of his rabbit-like appearance. He was a local TikTok celebrity in Taiwan before his idol career. Chih En has written unreleased ballads and plays guitar, showcasing his artistic side. He is consistently the last AHOF member to wake up on off-days, and he tends to zone out when too many people talk at once, though he remembers the important parts. If reborn as an animal, he would choose to be a puppy. In September 2025, he temporarily halted activities due to health reasons, and by November, his agency reported he was focusing on recovery, with the group filling the void. This period of absence became a point of concern and support among fans, who awaited his return.[edit]

Chih En was born in Taipei, Taiwan, but specific details about his parents, siblings, or extended family have not been publicly disclosed. He has not shared information about his current household or pets. As a rookie idol living in South Korea, he likely resides in a dorm with his AHOF groupmates. [edit]

Chih En is close friends with Kyungmin of TWS, whom he trained with at Pledis Entertainment. He is a member of AHOF alongside Steven, Jeongwoo, Woongki, Shuaibo, Han, JL, Juwon, and Daisuke. He was also part of the trainee group Bill Ent Boys at Bill Entertainment. [edit]

As of 2026, Chih En has no public dating history or confirmed relationships. He is currently single and focused on his early career as a rookie idol. [edit]

As of 2026, Chih En's net worth has not been publicly reported by any credible financial outlet. As a rookie K-pop idol who debuted in July 2025, his income is primarily derived from AHOF group activities such as album sales, concerts, and merchandise revenue sharing. He may also earn from his TikTok presence, though no endorsement deals have been confirmed. Rookie group members typically have modest earnings due to trainee debt repayment structures and revenue sharing with agencies. Until AHOF achieves significant commercial success, individual net worth remains speculative. [edit]
