ALPHA
DRIVE ONE
Eight artists. One shared drive.
ALPHA DRIVE ONE, also known as ALD1, is a boy group under WAKEONE formed through BOYS II PLANET. The official roster comprises LEO, JUNSEO, ARNO, GEONWOO, SANGWON, XINLONG, ANXIN and SANGHYEON.
The group debuted with EUPHORIA in January 2026. Its name brings together the ambition to reach the top, the drive to keep moving forward and the unity of one team.
After its January 12 debut, ALPHA DRIVE ONE released the prologue single No School Tomorrow on May 26 and its second EP, UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST, on August 24, 2026. The music moves from the debut single FREAK ALARM to OMG! and BORN DIRE, pairing dance-led performances with an increasingly dramatic concept.
Its first STAR ROAD fan-con tour reached Incheon, Yokohama and Hong Kong in June and July. International appearances and interviews followed, while the US physical edition of UNBREAKABLE arrived on October 2. These are group activities and should not be mistaken for solo releases by individual members.
GEONWOO’s activity hiatus was announced in April 2026. He remains listed in WAKEONE’s member profile; subsequent promotions have featured seven members. The group portrait above shows the full eight-member roster.
