ALPHA DRIVE ONE, a boy group consisting of eight members (Rio, Junser, Arno, Gunwoo, Sangwon, Shinlong, Anshin, and Sanghyun), is actively promoting in Japan before their official domestic debut. The group recently appeared on TBS's flagship music program 'CDTV Live! Live!' and delivered their first Japanese television performance live broadcast, performing their debut album's title track 'FREAK ALARM' from the mini album 'EUPHORIA'. With energetic performances and expressive facial acting, they captivated Japanese viewers. This appearance gained additional significance as the group performed on a major terrestrial broadcaster's music program prior to their official Japanese debut, demonstrating the interest already formed in the local market. Prior to this broadcast appearance, ALPHA DRIVE ONE had already held their first Japanese fan showcase and participated in the 42nd Maynavi Tokyo Girls Collection 2026 SPRING/SUMMER (TGC), one of Japan's largest fashion festivals. By consecutively tackling showcase events, fashion programs, and music broadcasts, the group has been expanding their fan base and connection points in Japan. As they continue to communicate with global fans while traveling between domestic and international markets, their Japanese activities represent an early indication of their future global trajectory and international expansion strategy.
