The group Alphadriveone heated up the local Hong Kong scene and firmly cemented its position as the "hottest new" act.
Alphadriveone attended the first-day events of the Tencent Music–hosted '2026 TMElive International Music Awards' ('2026 TIMA') held at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium on the 22nd and 23rd, lighting up the stage. That day they led with "FORMULA" and continued with "FREAK ALARM," "Chains," and "OMG!," delivering a string of performances that showcased a captivating mix of intensity and freshness that drew enthusiastic responses from the audience.
Following their overwhelming stage presence, they also received a meaningful award. Recognized for their capabilities as a global rookie, the members took home the trophy in the "The Hottest New International Group" category, and said they were deeply grateful to ALLYZ (their fandom name) for making it possible for them to receive the award. In addition, members Rio, Shinlong, and Anshin served as special MCs, raising the ceremony's energy with steady and witty hosting. With this, Alphadriveone swept major domestic and international awards ceremonies in their debut year alone, reaching a total of eight wins.
Alphadriveone, which has shown a powerful global upward trajectory, returns on the 24th at 6 p.m. with their second mini album UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST (Unbreakable : Sonyeon Beast). The new release, which will portray the growing pains of youths shaken by the world's prejudices and stigmas through the group's own deep narrative, is drawing the attention of fans around the world.
