Excitement surrounding the group ALPHA DRIVE ONE (알파드라이브원, ALD1, 알디원) has finally reached fans.
On December 19 at midnight, ALPHA DRIVE ONE (Leo, Junseo, Arno, Geonwoo, Sangwon, Xinlong, Anxin, Sanghyeon) revealed for the first time, via the group’s official SNS, the concept photos of the “JEWEL CASE” version of its first mini-album “EUPHORIA”, scheduled for release on January 12 at 6 PM KST, accelerating its march toward official debut.
The individual concept photos presented in the JEWEL CASE version portray the members in outfits inspired by a school look, each reflecting their personality. Their controlled expressions and gestures establish a subtle tension, creating a distinctive atmosphere. The visible wounds on the members’ faces and hands, combined with their story-filled gazes and mysterious aura, further heighten anticipation for the future of ALPHA DRIVE ONE.
The group photos revealed afterward showcase a wide range of emotions: members staring into the camera with meaningful expressions, moments of camaraderie tinged with playful teasing, and even a scene where all eight look in the same direction, revealing different emotional nuances.
After opening the first chapter of its debut narrative with the release of a trailer video, ALPHA DRIVE ONE continues its momentum by unveiling its concept photos, already establishing itself as a hot topic even before its official debut. The individual and group photos released following the trailer condense the story of the eight members who, after a long period of waiting and preparation, finally stand united at the threshold of their first departure.
As the gradually released content increasingly clarifies the storyline of the debut narrative, global fan interest in ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s first mini-album continues to grow. Already demonstrating remarkable influence prior to debut, the group is drawing particular attention regarding the image and message it will present with “EUPHORIA”.
“EUPHORIA” tells the story of the moment when the paths of eight members, each moving toward their dreams in their own way, come together to form a single team. The album promises to express, through ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s unique energy and storytelling, the emotions of a long-awaited beginning and the intense exhilaration of this moment of euphoria.
ALPHA DRIVE ONE will perform on the 20th at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul at the “MMA2025 (2025 Melon Music Awards)”, where it will present its second performance, before making its official debut on January 12 with the release of “EUPHORIA”.
