Boy group ALPHA DRIVE ONE (ALD1) has launched a confident comeback after evaluating their valuable growth.

ALPHA DRIVE ONE held a mini-album comeback showcase for their second release at Seoul Hannam-dong Blue Square WON Banking Hall at 2 p.m. on the 24th. Later that day at 6 p.m., they will release their second mini-album 'UNBREAKABLE : BEAST' (Unbreakable: Boy BEAST) through major music platforms and begin full-scale comeback activities.

ALPHA DRIVE ONE's second mini-album 'UNBREAKABLE : BEAST' captures the growing pains of youth wavering under prejudice and stigma. Boys defined by others' gazes before they can reveal their true selves face confusion amidst misunderstandings and biases toward themselves. While diverse promotions for the second mini-album have already garnered strong fan engagement, this album release marks the peak of the 'Immersive Series'.

The title track 'BORN DIRE' (Born Dire) from the second mini-album sings a message about continuing to sprint without stopping even amidst chaotic control. By modernly reinterpreting the rough energy of British Rave and Punk, the raw texture created by rap, chants, and unfiltered vocals maximizes the song's tension. The unpredictable progression of sound, combined with intense performance, delivers an unparalleled immersive experience. This track encapsulates ALPHA DRIVE ONE's unique, powerful identity through bold sounds that break existing frameworks and explosive energy.

Especially since the previously released music video teaser built anticipation with its intense atmosphere and explosive performance, today's title track 'BORN DIRE' is set to elevate immersion to its peak with a well-structured narrative arc and a 'cinematic performance' that feels like watching a movie.

ALPHA DRIVE ONE's second mini-album includes seven tracks: the title song 'BORN DIRE', along with 'Diamond Hour', 'One More Time', 'Talk to me', 'OMG!', 'Good Life', and 'WELCOME home'. The album captures the group's diverse musical colors and charm, ranging from intense energy to delicate emotions.

Among the included tracks are the hip-hop R&B track 'Diamond Hour', which harmoniously blends classic sensibility with modern production by sampling Yuna Jeon's 'What Love Is'; the minimalist hip-hop song 'One More Time', expressing confidence based on sensory FX sounds and heavy bass; the dreamy and delicate summer romance of 'Talk to me'; and fans can also enjoy 'OMG!' and 'Good Life' from the May prologue single 'No School Tomorrow'.

The final track 'WELCOME home' is a song performed during their first global fan concert tour 'STAR ROAD'. Members participated directly in writing the lyrics, expressing sincere emotions felt while running toward a shared dream over rhythmic breakbeats and gradually escalating energy.

ALPHA DRIVE ONE debuted in January with their first mini-album 'EUPHORIA' (Euphoria), immediately achieving million-seller status. They secured top positions on major domestic and international music charts, won four awards at music shows for a successful debut, and collected a total of eight awards including rookie and main prizes at major domestic and international award ceremonies.

On this day, ALPHA DRIVE ONE stated, "We are honored to make a comeback with such an excellent album. Since the songs become even more charming when enjoyed alongside performances, we have prepared impressive choreography to provide entertainment for viewers. We will show you our further growth."

They continued, "This performance contains truly powerful energy. The process of steadily building our own music is itself meaningful. Like a single story with a clear beginning, development, climax, and conclusion, listeners can fully immerse themselves in the song's narrative. We will strive to become singers we can be proud of."

Meanwhile, showcase MC Yoo Jae-pil noted, "Sanghyun is recovering smoothly after recent throat treatment and will participate within limits that do not strain his voice," adding, "Arno was unable to participate in the stage performance due to an unavoidable injury sustained during filming."

Later, Arno appeared on stage and said, "I worked hard preparing because I felt I had to show a great stage since I couldn't perform at our debut showcase. It's disappointing that I can't show it directly again due to injury. Although we cannot perform together this time, this performance contains truly powerful energy. We prepared diligently, so please give us your expectations and interest."

Sanghyun added, "Fortunately, the surgery went well and recovery is progressing smoothly. Many were worried, but I am recovering well. Since this is our second album, we have prepared diligently."

ALPHA DRIVE ONE stated, "'Unbreakable' is a meaningful word. It wasn't easy to become one team, but this album reflects our ongoing growth process—steadily becoming stronger without tiring."

They continued, "This title track also carried some burden as it represents a new resolve and bold challenge, but we wanted to show an unlimited spectrum, making it a valuable turning point in our growth. We believed we could grow into a group firmly recognized through performance." Members added, "We want to prove ALD1's charm and solidify our position as number one in each member's heart. We hope to compete with senior artists we work alongside and achieve first place at least once. We trained ourselves to stand here today. The story of becoming even stronger resembles our own image. When different charms blend together, they seem to emerge as our unique, differentiated appeal."
