The group ALPHA DRIVE ONE (ALD1) is continuing its march to the top of the global K-POP scene by taking over major Asian city centers with large outdoor advertisements.

ALPHA DRIVE ONE released their prologue single 'No School Tomorrow' on the 26th of last month and successfully concluded the promotions for their title track 'OMG!'. During this process, large outdoor advertisements were displayed throughout major Asian cities, including Seoul; Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou in China; as well as Tokyo and Osaka in Japan, garnering enthusiastic responses from local fans. This is a result that proves their strengthened global popularity following their first comeback and the solid support of their fandom in each city.

In particular, their achievements in the Japanese market have been remarkable. With this prologue single, they swept first place on the major album charts of Japan's Recochoku and mora, while the title track 'OMG!' topped the Japanese iTunes 'Top Songs' and 'K-POP Top Songs' charts. In addition, they simultaneously ranked second on the LINE Music 'New Song Top 100' and 'Song Top 100' real-time charts. This was the highest ranking among K-POP artists at the time of charting, clearly demonstrating their rapid upward trend in Japan.

Their popularity in China is also extraordinary. Immediately after their debut in January of this year, they collaborated with China's largest music platform, QQ Music, to hold pop-up events at large shopping malls in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, attracting over 5,000 visitors in just three days. Since then, the pop-up events for their debut album 'EUPHORIA', held in Shenzhen and Chongqing, also drew massive crowds, making fans realize the explosive local response.

Having firmly established their global influence, ALPHA DRIVE ONE will meet fans worldwide by holding their fan concert tour, '2026 ALPHA DRIVE ONE FAN-CON TOUR [STAR ROAD]', starting on the upcoming 12th. Riding on this momentum, they are scheduled to release their 2nd mini-album in August and once again captivate the music industry in the second half of the year.
