The group Alpha Drive One returns aiming straight at early summer listeners' sensibilities.
Alpha Drive One releases the prologue single 'No School Tomorrow' at 6 p.m. today (the 26th) on various online music sites and begins full activities.
The new release 'No School Tomorrow' is an album that captures the liberation of breaking the rules and the thrill of youth set against a day like a gift received with the sudden news of school closure. The members added the energy of 'Cold Summer Youth' to their fresh early summer boyish visuals to complete Alpha Drive One's distinctive 'romantic energetic' mood. The album contains two tracks in total, including the title track 'OMG!' and the included song 'Good Life'.
The title track 'OMG!' is a hip-hop R&B song that blends an energetic hip-hop beat with trendy synthesizer sounds. It charmingly unravels the boys' unpredictable feelings, like unpredictable weather, and a gradually intensifying emotional line. The included 'Good Life' is a house track built on a funky disco beat layered with refreshing piano and synthesizer sounds, conveying a positive message to temporarily set aside complicated thoughts and enjoy a free, leisurely feeling.
Below is a Q&A about Alpha Drive One's comeback.
Q. How do you feel about your first comeback since your debut in January 2026?
Rio: It's our first comeback, so I'm very excited and thrilled. I'm really happy to be able to show fans, Allys, our activities in front of them after a long time, and we're preparing with joy.
Junseo: I'm so excited and only grateful to the Allys who waited for us. We'll work very hard on this comeback too and want to show many cool sides of ourselves.
Arno: Since it's our first comeback, we are really looking forward to it and have prepared hard to show various sides. I hope we can show new charms and growth different from our debut activities.
Sangwon: The thought of meeting Allys again for our first comeback fills me with deep excitement and nervousness at the same time. I want to enjoy the stage together as soon as possible and perfectly show Alpha Drive One's passion for the stage.
Xinlong: I often feel truly honored to debut as a member of Alpha Drive One. Thinking about standing on various stages and meeting many people who cheer for me makes me very happy.
Ansin: I'm so happy to meet Allys again on music show stages after a long time. We've prepared hard because we want to show more grown-up selves than during debut activities, so I hope you look forward to it a lot.
Sanghyun: I'm really happy to be able to meet Allys again soon, and we've prepared bright songs you can listen to lightly anytime, anywhere, so please look forward to them!!
Q. It seems you will show a different charm from your debut album. Could you introduce the prologue single 'No School Tomorrow'?
Rio: The prologue single 'No School Tomorrow' captures the liberation of breaking the rules and the thrill of youth. You can also feel Alpha Drive One's 'romantic energetic' mood.
Q. What kind of song is the title track 'OMG!'?
Junseo: The title track 'OMG!' is an energetic, slightly mischievous bright song. I think the members' personalities will come out well. We expressed the 'romantic energetic' mood that positively enjoys changing emotions or even messed-up situations, like early summer weather that often changes. The second track included gives the feeling of going on a trip with someone when you listen to it. I hope Allys listen to this song when they go on trips or when happy things happen.
Q. What was your first impression when you heard 'OMG!' for the first time? Are there any memorable reactions from members?
Arno: When I first heard it, I thought the accompaniment was very rich, which I liked. It was an impressive style we hadn't tried before, and I was excited because I thought we could show a new side.
Ansin: When I first heard it, I thought it was a song that showed a feeling Alpha Drive One hadn't shown yet. It felt fresh with a youthful atmosphere, and I remember members saying they liked this kind of feeling a lot.
Sanghyun: From the moment I first heard the song, I thought it suited our team well. I also felt it had the charm of being something anyone could listen to comfortably anywhere without burden.
Q. In the highlight medley it felt like an 'easy listening' song that can be enjoyed without burden. What points should listeners focus on when enjoying 'OMG!'?
Sangwon: Since 'OMG!' is a song you can enjoy comfortably and without burden, I hope you listen lightly and naturally feel the song's mood. Especially since it blends a kitschy melody with an exciting beat, it's more fun to listen to if you focus on the energy that you suddenly feel while listening casually.
Sanghyun: I hope you comfortably enjoy the bright and exciting atmosphere felt throughout the song. Also, if you focus on the various facial expressions and mood expressions shown by the members during the performance, I think you'll feel the charm of 'OMG!' even more.
Q. If you were to recommend situations in which fans should listen to Alpha Drive One's 'OMG!' what would they be?
Sangwon: It would be great to listen to it loudly in the car while driving or excitedly when going on an outing to the Han River.
Xinlong: I think it fits better when listened to in a relaxed and light atmosphere. It also feels like a bit of stress relief when you listen, so I hope people enjoy it a lot.
Ansin: It would be good to listen to it the night before a day off when you don't have to worry about the next day or on a Friday night. If you end the day and relax while listening, you can feel the song's mood well and enjoy it more.
Q. Regarding the performance of 'OMG!', what parts would you like people to pay special attention to? Are there any key points in the choreography?
Xinlong: For the 'OMG!' stage, it's important to bring out facial acting and a bright, cheerful atmosphere. In the choreography there's a move where both hands come close to the face to express a surprised expression, and the members' various charming expressions are a focal point.
Arno: I hope people pay attention to the energy given by the key facial expressions and performance. We'll show the emotions of the moments when you involuntarily shout 'OMG!' through our own performance.
Q. The concept photos and music video teaser feature changing early summer weather and boys who enjoy everyday life despite it. What memories come to mind when you think of early summer, and if you were given a summer vacation like a gift amid a busy life, what would you want to do?
Junseo: I remember making and eating cool fruit punch with my dad in early summer. If I had time, I'd like to go back to my parents' home after a long time and spend time eating delicious summer snacks with my parents.
Ansin: When I think of early summer, I first remember drinking cold watermelon juice. If I had a summer vacation, I'd like to lie comfortably in a cool place all day and spend time leisurely recharging.
Sanghyun: Early summer reminds me first of childhood memories. I still vividly remember playing pranks with friends at the fountain in the apartment complex. If given a summer vacation amid a busy life, I'd like to spend time comfortably playing in the water like in those childhood days.
Q. Were there any memorable episodes while filming the music video or recording? Please share moments that made you laugh during the process or events that left an impression.
Rio: There were many scenes filmed in the rain, which was really fun and a special experience. There was also a scene where fireworks exploded while riding a bicycle, and because we had so much fun shooting with the members, I'm very excited for the results.
Sangwon: There are many cute lyrical points, so we laughed a lot while recording and worked in a joyful atmosphere. There's a lyric 'binggeul binggeul' in the song, and I particularly remember laughing a lot when recording that part.
Xinlong: I really like rainy weather, and there was a rain scene in this music video. When we filmed the scene of suddenly avoiding the rain while riding a bicycle, we had a lot of fun shooting with the members.
Q. What changes or growth points does Alpha Drive One want to clearly show through this comeback?
Rio: This time I want to show a slightly fresher and brighter side. I want people to say, "Alpha Drive One can do this too? They pull it off better than expected?"
Junseo: I want to show Alpha Drive One's grown 모습 and that we can handle this concept well. We'll prepare hard and show you well.
Arno: I want to show that Alpha Drive One is a team capable of pulling off a wide variety of concepts.
Q. Following the May comeback, the mini album 2 set for release in August has been confirmed. Do you have any resolve to carry Alpha Drive One from early summer through the hot summer?
Rio: 'OMG!' If you spend this summer with Alpha Drive One, we'll gift you an eternal 'Good Life'~
Junseo: Alpha Drive One will run very hot this summer. And if we're with Allys, I think we can spend every season in a 'Good Life'.
Arno: This summer will be so enjoyable, so please watch over us.
