Hello Korea has been closely watching as this 2026 global phenomenon launches an unprecedented initiative, leveraging cutting-edge social media integration to connect with fans worldwide.
The eight-member powerhouse, comprising Lio, Junseo, Arno, Gunwoo, Sangwon, Xinlong, Anshin, and Sanghyun, made headlines on January 4th by announcing the grand opening of their official X (formerly Twitter) Live Event Page. This isn’t just another live stream; it marks ALPHA DRIVE ONE as the first K-pop artist to utilize this innovative platform feature, creating significant buzz just days before their highly anticipated debut.
This strategic deployment of X’s new functionality underscores ALPHA DRIVE ONE‘s vision for unparalleled global reach and fan interaction from day one. By hosting their debut countdown live through the X Live Event Page, they’re not merely broadcasting; they’re establishing a dynamic, real-time communication channel that redefines what it means to be a global K-pop rookie. This technological embrace instantly positions them as a group with immense global influence.
The highly anticipated countdown live is scheduled for January 11th at 6 PM KST, just one day ahead of their official debut. Through this interactive event, ALPHA DRIVE ONE plans to connect with their dedicated global fandom, known as ALLYZ, in real-time. This live session promises to showcase the group’s fresh energy, unwavering spirit, and ambitious aspirations, setting a powerful tone for their journey ahead.
Meanwhile, anticipation is soaring for their mini 1st album, ‘EUPHORIA,’ slated for release on January 12th. The album is described as a narrative journey of eight shining stars—each with their own path—finally uniting to complete the unique story of ALPHA DRIVE ONE. From their pre-debut global market targeting to their groundbreaking digital strategies, ALPHA DRIVE ONE is already carving out their presence as a ‘super rookie,’ making ‘EUPHORIA’ one of the most awaited debuts of 2026.
‘EUPHORIA’ encapsulates the moment when eight individual members, who had been pursuing their dreams in distinct ways, converge to form one cohesive team. The album will express the profound emotions and overwhelming joy (euphoria) of this new beginning, conveyed through ALPHA DRIVE ONE‘s signature energy and compelling narrative.
As the first K-pop group of the new year, ALPHA DRIVE ONE is poised to make an indelible mark with their mini 1st album, ‘EUPHORIA,’ on January 12th. Hello Korea will be watching closely as they write their chapter in K-pop history.
