"Monster rookie" Alphadriveone returned as a rough boy fighting the world's prejudice and stigma.
Alphadriveone at 6 p.m. on the 24th released the full tracks of mini album 2 'UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST' (Unbreakable : shonenbeast) and the title track 'BORN DIRE' music video on various music sites.
Alphadriveone, who debuted in January with mini album 1 'EUPHORIA' and left a strong impression of presence, armed with a deeper narrative and an expanded musical spectrum, foretold a new whirlwind in the K-pop scene.
Through this new release Alphadriveone portrays the intense growing pains of youth. The album overall captures the confusion experienced by boys who are defined by others' eyes before their true selves, amid misunderstandings and prejudice. In particular, it vividly unravels the anxiety and fear hidden behind a rough, sharp exterior and the delicate inner world of boys who want to be understood as they are, stimulating deep empathy in listeners.
The title track 'BORN DIRE' is a track that hammers in Alphadriveone's intense and distinctive identity. It trendily reinterprets the dynamic energy of British rave and punk genres, and the bold sound and rough texture that boldly break existing molds captivate the ear. The heavy message that they will never stop and will race down their own path even amid control and chaos is striking.
"Step back twisted Highway / tear the boundary Rip that, rip that / BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN / BORN DIRE / BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN / BORN DIRE / Step back unfolding One way / change me Lead that, lead that / BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN, BORN / BORN DIRE"
The music video released together also drew attention with movie-like quality. On a well-structured storyline with a clear beginning, development and conclusion, the members' rugged charm that evokes an actual "beast" was presented without reserve. The "cinematic performance" that visually realized the music's dynamism offers an overwhelming sense of immersion.
Alphadriveone proved a solid worldview and concept execution through this album beyond the potential shown in their debut album. As the rebellion of boys who do not yield to the world's standards has begun in earnest, attention is focused on what further fierce activities they will display in the music industry in the second half of the year.
