They also personally introduced the meaning and performance highlights of their second mini-album, “Unbreakable: Boy Beast,” and the title track “BORN DIRE,” set for release on the 24th, further building excitement for their comeback.
Alpha Drive One will take the stage at “KCON LA 2026,” held from the 14th to the 16th, to deliver their first performance in the U.S. and meet with local fans. Through a variety of stages, they plan to captivate global fans with their powerful performances and confident stage presence.
