Rookie boy group Alpha Drive One (ALD1) has successfully wrapped up promotions for their prologue single title track "OMG!", solidifying their position as the next generation of global idols.

Alpha Drive One released their prologue single "No School Tomorrow" on the 26th of last month, embarking on full-scale music broadcast promotions. They presented an easy-listening track with refreshing and free-spirited energy, becoming listeners' choice for the representative playlist of early summer. During their two-week promotional period, they showcased a reversal of charm, distinct from their usual intense performances, captivating audiences with a stage that highlighted their fresh boyish charm and cute point choreography. In particular, the addictive section repeating the word 'gradually' (jeomjeom) in the lyrics earned the name 'Gradually Core' (Jeomjeom Core) among fans, drawing enthusiastic responses.

Sweeping Domestic and International Music Charts... A Storm in the Global Market Alpha Drive One also achieved remarkable results on music charts. The title track "OMG!" took first place on the Bugs real-time chart in Korea, as well as first place on the Circle Chart Download Chart for the 22nd week of 2026.

Their performance in the global market was also notable. They topped the iTunes Top Songs chart in countries including Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. In particular, they swept the top spots on Japan's Recochoku Daily Album Ranking and Mora Comprehensive Album Daily Ranking. On Japan's LINE MUSIC, they recorded second place on the real-time chart and first place on the BGM & Melody Top 100 chart, proving their local influence.

Surpassing 62 Million Views... Emerging as the 'Next-Generation Blue Chip of the Advertising Industry' The "OMG!" music video, released through their official social media, achieved approximately 62 million cumulative views, and immediately upon release, it ranked first for the most-viewed music video in the past 24 hours. This popularity extended to online short-form content as well; various short-form videos featuring Alpha Drive One's different concepts surpassed a combined total of 160 million views, showing a steady upward trend.

Based on this widespread popularity, beyond their musical activities, they have received love calls for advertisements and photoshoots across various industries, including food and beverage, fashion, and beauty, emerging as next-generation blue chips in the advertising world. Furthermore, they are active in diverse fields such as radio, entertainment programs, and university festivals, cementing their position as an all-rounder group.

Following This Month's Fan Concert, an August Comeback is Announced Having successfully completed their comeback promotions, Alpha Drive One will meet fans from the 12th to the 14th of this month during a three-day fan concert tour, '2026 ALPHA DRIVE ONE FAN-CON TOUR [STAR ROAD] in INCHEON,' held at Inspire Arena in Incheon.
