Rookie boy group Alpha Drive One (ALPHA DRIVE ONE, ALD1) has released its first official profile, signaling the start of its journey toward debut.

On October 12, the group revealed both group and individual photos through its official social media channels. Dressed in black jackets and denim pants, the eight members — Junseo, Arno (Jang Jiahao), Rio, Gunwoo, Sangwon, Xinlong, Anshin, and Sanghyeon — exuded a poised yet energetic charisma befitting rising idols.

The new profile concept emphasizes the group’s unity, reflecting their name’s “one team” identity. Notably, Jang Jiahao will use his childhood nickname “Arno” as his official stage name, marking a fresh beginning.

Despite not having debuted yet, Alpha Drive One is already generating massive buzz. As of Monday morning, their official Instagram account surpassed 1.14 million followers, with early fan club sign-ups also gaining momentum.

True to its name, which embodies the spirit of “K-pop catharsis,” Alpha Drive One is preparing for a powerful global debut that aims to deliver high-impact performances and emotional resonance on the international stage.
