The global K-pop super rookie group of 2026, ALPHA DRIVE ONE (Leo, Junseo, Arno, Geonwoo, Sangwon, Xinlong, Anshin, Sanghyeon), will officially debut on January 12 with its first mini album “EUPHORIA”.
ALPHA DRIVE ONE (Leo, Junseo, Arno, Geonwoo, Sangwon, Xinlong, Anshin, Sanghyeon) announced today at 2 p.m. KST via its official social media the pre-order of its first mini album “EUPHORIA”, opening an image revealing the album cover preview to heighten excitement surrounding the debut.
The first mini album “EUPHORIA” by ALPHA DRIVE ONE will be available in three versions: two photobook versions, “STAR ROAD” and “FREAK ALARM”, as well as the “JEWEL CASE” version. The package visuals are shrouded in mystery, sparking curiosity and increasing anticipation for the overall debut album concept and the new project.
The official first mini album “EUPHORIA” captures the moment when the eight members, who had each been pursuing their dreams in their own ways, come together to form a single group. The emotions linked to this new beginning after a long preparation and the intense joy (EUPHORIA) will be expressed through the unique energy and storytelling of ALPHA DRIVE ONE.
ALPHA DRIVE ONE was born from the MNET show “BOYS 2 PLANET”, earning around 26 million votes worldwide and becoming a major K-pop sensation. At the 2025 MAMA AWARDS, they previewed the track “Formula” from their debut album, drawing global fan attention ahead of their official debut.
The global popularity of the pre-released single “FORMULA”, released on December 3 on various music platforms, is also remarkable.
As the group name indicates, aiming for the best (ALPHA), the energy and motivation of all members (DRIVE), and team unity (ONE), ALPHA DRIVE ONE will open the group’s first stage with “EUPHORIA”.
The launch of ALPHA DRIVE ONE marks the beginning of their race toward the global top of K-pop. The group is set to officially debut on January 12.
