ALPHA DRIVE ONE (ALD1) has successfully held their first fan showcase in Japan, marking a significant milestone in their global expansion. On March 13, 2026, the eight-member group—Leo, Junseo, Arno, Geonwoo, Sangwon, Xinlong, Anxin, and Sanghyun—met with local supporters at KT Zepp Yokohama to celebrate the release of their first mini-album, 'EUPHORIA'. Even though the group has yet to make their official debut in the country, the venue was packed with approximately 1,000 fans, demonstrating a strong pre-debut following.

The showcase featured a series of dynamic performances, with ALPHA DRIVE ONE performing the pre-release track 'FORMULA', the title song 'FREAK ALARM', and the B-side 'Cinnamon Shake'. Beyond the music, the members actively engaged with the audience through talk segments and games, showcasing the Japanese phrases they had practiced for the occasion. Their combination of high-energy choreography and sincere fan service drew loud cheers from the crowd, maintaining a festive atmosphere throughout the event.

The group’s debut activities in Japan have already caught the attention of major local media. Oricon News and Fuji TV’s 'Mezamashi Saturday' highlighted the impressive turnout for a rookie group, noting the intense enthusiasm from the 1,000 fans in attendance. Following the showcase, ALPHA DRIVE ONE will continue their momentum by attending the '42nd Mynavi Tokyo Girls Collection 2026 SPRING/SUMMER' (TGC) on March 14, 2026. This appearance at one of Japan’s largest fashion and music festivals is expected to further solidify their growing presence in the local market.
