ALPHA DRIVE ONE (ALD1) opened the curtain on a distinctive world view for the mega global K-pop rookie boy group of 2026.
ALPHA DRIVE ONE (Rio, Junseo, Arno, Geonwoo, Sangwon, Xinlong, Anshin, Sanghyun) posted on the team's official SNS at 12 a.m. today (16th) the trailer "Film by Raw Flame" for their first mini album EUPHORIA, which will be released at 6 p.m. on Jan. 12, drawing enthusiastic reactions from global fans.
The released debut trailer is composed of three chapters that progressively depict the members' emotional changes and narrative. The first chapter, "no flame," captures the "lost flame" and expresses feelings of anxiety and confusion through images of members with injuries on their faces and hands. The second chapter, "no frame," heightens tension with intense beats as scenes of members racing to find the flame unfold. At the end of the race, the eight members finally regain the flame, elevating a romantic atmosphere and eliciting a positive response from fans around the world.
In the final chapter, "raw flame," the eight members gather and pass through darkness to greet the morning, portraying a happy scene that captured attention. In particular, the narration saying, "now we have become one flame gathered together," and "our beginning, our first morning when everything begins" evokes the members' real-life narrative of becoming one team after a long wait and facing the moment of "debut," raising curiosity about ALPHA DRIVE ONE's story to come.
This debut trailer condensed the team's world view and story into a video that offered overwhelming immersion, combining the members' first display of emotive acting, genuine-feeling narration, and distinctive visuals. It also expressed ALPHA DRIVE ONE's romantic energetic vibe through the trailer's visuals, further enhancing the trailer's completeness and provoking curiosity about the team's expanding world view.
The narrative of ALPHA DRIVE ONE, which had piqued curiosity through previously released teasers, is unfolding in earnest through the main trailer, concentrating global fans' attention. The stylish direction and lingering storytelling stimulate fans' imaginations and further raise expectations for ALPHA DRIVE ONE's first mini album EUPHORIA.
The first mini album EUPHORIA captures the moment when the journeys of the eight members, each pursuing their dreams in their own way, are completed as one team. After a long preparation, they will convey the emotions of the beginning and the overwhelming euphoria through ALPHA DRIVE ONE's unique energy and narrative.
Meanwhile, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, which opened the prologue to a sprint toward the top of global K-pop, has ranked highly on various domestic and international music charts with the pre-debut single "FORMULA," released before their debut, earning strong love from global fans even before their official debut.
