Rookie boy group ALPHA DRIVE ONE (ALD1) has successfully concluded the first week of their music broadcast promotions for their comeback, firmly establishing their presence in the global K-POP market.
Having released their prologue single 'No School Tomorrow' on the 26th, ALPHA DRIVE ONE consecutively appeared on major music shows, including Mnet's 'M Countdown,' KBS2's 'Music Bank,' MBC's 'Show! Music Core,' and SBS's 'Inkigayo,' to deliver spectacular comeback stages with their title track 'OMG!'
During these performances, the members executed the so-called 'Hip-Tonic Dance,' which combines a hip mood with tecktonik, to match the upbeat sound. They radiated a refreshing yet energetic charm, and with unique styling and witty gestures for every broadcast, they produced highly polished stages that drew an enthusiastic response from fans.
Their chart performance domestically and internationally is also noteworthy. The music video for the title track 'OMG!' saw a rapid surge in views immediately upon release, nearing a cumulative 50 million views as of 10 p.m. on the 31st of last month. Furthermore, it ranked 2nd on Japan's LINE MUSIC 'New Song Top 100' chart—the highest ranking among K-POP artists—and reached No. 1 on the real-time chart of the Korean music streaming platform Bugs.
The prologue single 'No School Tomorrow' is an album that expresses the sense of liberation brought by deviance and the excitement of youth, set against the backdrop of a gift-like day gained from a sudden school closure. The title track 'OMG!' is a hip-hop R&B song that blends an energetic hip-hop beat with trendy synthesizer sounds, capturing the ever-changing hearts and escalating emotions of boys.
Meanwhile, having successfully wrapped up their first week of comeback promotions, ALPHA DRIVE ONE is scheduled to hold their first fan concert tour, '2026 ALPHA DRIVE ONE FAN-CON TOUR [STAR ROAD],' and release their 2nd mini album this August, continuing their vigorous global endeavors.
