ALPHA DRIVE ONE unveils urban sanctuary concept

The group ALPHA DRIVE ONE (ALD1) has released new concept images ahead of their second mini album comeback. At midnight on the 9th, ALD1 uploaded additional concept photos and films for the 'Cementic Nest' version of their second mini album, 'UNBREAKABLE : Boy Beast', via their official SNS channels. Following the previously released images, this content showcases the visual direction of the upcoming album.

A sanctuary for boys amidst a desolate city

The newly released 'Cementic Nest' version captures the members nesting against the backdrop of various desolate urban locations. Amidst the cold and tense cityscapes, the boys' expressions, filled with anxiety and fear, reveal their fragile inner selves, creating a sharp contrast with their surroundings. The concept film released alongside the photos also reinterprets the harsh urban environment as a sanctuary unique to the boys. Through direction that evokes a sense of coziness even within a cold atmosphere, the members' styling and facial expressions are visually brought to life.

Through this album, ALPHA DRIVE ONE sings of the growing pains of youth wavering amidst prejudice and stigma. By juxtaposing the inner world of the boys against the external space of the city, the album poses questions about where youth will build their nests and what kind of selves they will reveal as they live. The released videos and photos step-by-step convey the narrative the album intends to deliver.

Two faces where strength and fragility coexist

The second mini album simultaneously utilizes two opposing keywords: 'Fragile Beast' and 'Cementic Nest'. While the previously presented 'Fragile Beast' version focused on one side, this version showcases a different texture of roughness and coziness, completing the diverse portrayal of youth that flows throughout the album. These two concepts, where strength and fragility coexist, expand the aesthetic breadth of the album.

ALPHA DRIVE ONE's second mini album 'UNBREAKABLE : Boy Beast' will be officially released on the 24th. Their agency, Wake One Entertainment, has fleshed out the album's narrative through this expansion of concepts. The members have completed their preparations for promotions by sequentially unfolding the core story of the album through these different versions of photos and films.
