ALPHA DRIVE ONE will release U.S.-exclusive physical editions of its second EP, UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST, online and at select retailers Oct. 2. The August release sold over a million copies in its first week, and the group aims to reach more U.S. listeners.
At KCON Los Angeles last month, the group performed with Korean beatboxer WING during M COUNTDOWN, covered BTS’s “Fake Love” and played the convention’s Artist Stage. Members said they were surprised to hear fans singing along. Sanghyeon, who was on medical hiatus at KCON, has since rejoined promotional activities but could not take part in the interview.
The seven-track EP spans pop, R&B, hip-hop, ballads and some rock. Member Leo said it moves between the group’s “boy” and “beast” concepts. The U.S.-exclusive physical editions include new photocards; the EP is available on streaming platforms.
