Alpha Drive One’s debut single “Formula” is already generating major K-pop buzz, and it’s easy to see why. The rookie boy group born from Mnet’s survival show Boys2Planet is gearing up for a powerful first step with a digital release on December 13 at 6 PM. Their agency, Wake One, confirmed the news, sparking fresh excitement among fans who’ve been waiting since the show wrapped in September.
The eight-member lineup: Rio, Junseo, Arno, Gunwoo, Sangwon, Xinlong, Anshin, and Sanghyun, comes together under a name packed with meaning: “ALPHA” for aiming high, “DRIVE” for unstoppable passion, and “ONE” for unity. And that unity is the heart of their debut track. According to Wake One, Formula captures the exact moment when eight trainees with different paths finally merge into one team, creating what they call “Alpha Drive One’s unique formula.” It’s a concept that instantly resonates with fans who followed their journey from individual dreams to a shared beginning.
Before the official release, Alpha Drive One is rolling out a wave of teasers visual posters, spoiler posters, performance clips, and more building the kind of anticipation only a confident rookie group can deliver. Their first major stage appearance is just around the corner too; they’re set to perform at the 2025 MAMA Awards in Hong Kong on the 28th, giving the world a preview of their team identity before their music officially drops.
With strong momentum, a dedicated fanbase, and a debut song rooted in their origin story, Alpha Drive One seems ready not just to join the K-pop scene, but to charge straight into it.
