The members of the rookie boy group ADAP made this statement during the media showcase for their debut album, “ALL DREAMS ARE POSSIBLE,” held at 2:00 p.m. on the 5th at Gabin Art Hall in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
ADAP is a six-member boy group launched by FCE N.M., the agency behind the girl group A.L.Y. One. The group consists of six members: Hyotae and Jaeyoung—both alumni of SBS’s “Universe League” and KBS 2TV’s “Make Mate One,” respectively—as well as Junseok, Dowon, Jongho, and Hyunsung.
Jun-seok said, “The thought of sharing the stage with so many senior artists fills me with excitement rather than nervousness,” adding, “We’ll promote by highlighting our approachability as A-DAP’s unique charm.”
Hyota, who appeared on “Universe League”—a show chronicling the formation of the boy group Ahop—pledged, “I will do my best to present myself with confidence in front of my friends who debuted before me.”
Jae-young, who appeared on “Make Mate One”—a show that selected members for another boy group, Nuera—stated, “It’s an honor to debut as an A-DAP member,” adding, “I’m grateful to the fans who have waited and supported us from the end of the program until now.”
“All Dreams Are Possible” is a mini-album featuring four tracks, including the title track “BUFFERING,” as well as “DRUM,” “PARADISE,” and “Sing for You.”

Jun-seok described the album as “an album that marks the beginning of A-DAP and serves as the starting point for the diverse stories we will present in the future.” Regarding the album title, he explained, “It conveys the meaning that A-DAP is a group for whom anything is possible.”
The album’s title track, “Buffering,” is an electric pop song that depicts the feeling of being unable to move—as if your mind has frozen—the moment you come face-to-face with someone you like. The production team BoomBastic, known for writing songs for numerous popular idol groups such as SEVENTEEN and AB6IX, handled the music production.
Hyota expressed his satisfaction, saying, “I think the bright and lively vibe suits A-DAP perfectly.” Hyunseong revealed his ambitious goal: “I want to reach No. 1 on the music charts while promoting our debut song.”
A-DAP will release all tracks from the album via various online music platforms at 6 p.m. today.
Hyota stated, “Even before our official debut, we’ve been performing in Japan and working hard to hone our skills,” adding, “We’ll do our best to showcase the results of our hard work and our talent on stage from now on.”
He also emphasized, “I will make sure that one day, when someone overseas asks, ‘Do you know ADAP?,’ the answer will be ‘Yes!’”
