[Edaily Starin KIM HYUNSIK Reporter] “Thanks to the passionate support of our fans since our debut, we’ve been able to achieve remarkable success. We hope to reach No. 1 once again with this album.”

Boy group ALPHA DRIVE ONE expressed their determination to make a comeback with their new album *UNBREAKABLE: Boy BEAST* at a press showcase held at 2:00 p.m. on the 24th at the Woori WON Banking Hall in Blue Square, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
ALPHA DRIVE ONE is the debut group from Mnet’s idol survival program “Boys 2 Planet.” They officially began their debut activities last January with their first mini-album, “EUPHORIA.” With their previous release, they sold over 1.41 million copies (according to Circle Chart), heralding the birth of a new “million-seller” idol group.
“Unbreakable: Boy Beast” is their second mini-album. The album features a total of seven tracks, including the title track “BORN DIRE,” as well as “Diamond Hour,” “One More Time,” “Talk to Me,” “OMG!,” “Good Life,” and “WELCOME home.”
On that day, Junseo described the new album as “an album that tells the story of young people who grow while wavering amidst prejudice and stigma.”
Regarding the album title “Unbreakable,” he explained, “It’s a meaningful word that’s been posted on the wall of our dorm since the very beginning of the team,” adding, “It expresses our determination to keep moving forward, relying on one another no matter what fears we face.”
Junseo elaborated, “The process of members who have led different lives coming together as a single team was not easy,” adding, “This album beautifully captures the story of Alpha Drive One as they are still growing and have not yet reached their final form.”
He added, “I hope that those who listen to the album will gain the courage to move forward brilliantly at their own pace and in their own direction.”

The title track, “Born Day,” conveys the message, “We will keep racing forward without stopping, even amidst chaos.” It heightens tension and immersion with the raw textures of British rave and punk sounds.
Junseo explained, “We expressed Alpha Drive One’s determination to move forward even amid chaos through intense sounds and a ‘cinematic performance.’”
An-shin stated emphatically, “We’ll showcase Alpha Drive One’s intense energy through our promotions for ‘Born Day.’ ” Arno emphasized, “The highlight is the section where we express movements that make your heart race.”
Shinlong added, “We practiced relentlessly to ensure the performance’s explosive energy never waned from start to finish. Through the process of pushing past our limits while managing our breathing and stamina, we gained the confidence that ‘we can grow into a group that is truly recognized for our performances.’”

The full album and the title track’s music video will be released at 6 p.m. today via various online music platforms. Another point of interest is that they are releasing their new album simultaneously with top K-pop boy groups who debuted earlier, such as Big Bang, NCT 127, and Stray Kids.
Lee Sang-won said, “Our comeback coincides with that of the senior artists we respect. We want to show our best side to them, and if we can take the No. 1 spot even once during that time, that alone would be an honor.”
Ahn Shin smiled and said, “It’s an honor to be promoting alongside our seniors. I definitely want to say hello to them if we run into each other.” Rio emphasized, “Through this comeback, we’ll show you how much we’ve grown compared to before.”
Toward the end of the showcase, Lee Sang-won said, “If I ever get the chance, I’d like to perform on the stages of major international music festivals like ‘Lollapalooza’ and ‘Coachella.’”
