Background and release

Alpha Drive One was formed through Mnet's reality competition series Boys II Planet, which aired through July 17 to September 25, 2025.[1] The show brought 160 contestants from multiple countries to compete to debut in a multinational boy band.[2]

On October 16, 2025, the group premiered their first YouTube original content series titled One Dream Forever, aimed at showcasing the members' personalities and teamwork prior to their musical debut.[3] On November 11, 2025, they launched a second reality series titled ALD1ary and documented the members' first experience living together in a shared dormitory, highlighting their multicultural chemistry through language exchange between Korean and Chinese members and domestic team-building activities.[4] Alpha Drive One made their first official public appearance on November 28 at the 2025 MAMA Awards,[5] where they performed their pre-release single "Formula", which was released on December 3.[6]

Alpha Drive One officially debuted on January 12, 2026, with their debut EP Euphoria along with its lead single "Freak Alarm" and music video.[7][8]
