ALPHA DRIVE ONE has released their second mini-album, UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST (read as UNBREAKABLE : FRAGILE BEAST). This new album explores the growing pains of the members' faltering youth as they face prejudice and stigma from others. “少年BEAST” is not the name chosen by the boys themselves, but rather a symbol for what the world calls them for being different from others. These ordinary boys begin to appear as “BEASTS” in other people's eyes. While to some they may appear dangerous on the outside, in some ways they are in fact more vulnerable than the others, and are hanging by a thread.

Through this album, ALPHA DRIVE ONE expands the meaning of “UNBREAKABLE” into a clearer narrative. There are a total of seven tracks on UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST: “BORN DIRE,” “Diamond Hour,” “One More Time,” “Talk to me,” “OMG!” and “Good Life” from the previously released prologue single, No School Tomorrow. The album concludes with “WELCOME home,” where all members participated in writing lyrics for the first time, to ensure that they deliver a sincere message to their fans. 

The title track, “BORN DIRE,” is a song that depicts ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s own intense identity, while reinterpreting the raw energy of British rave and punk genres in a modern way, and conveying a message of continuing to race forward against the chaos of the world.

The release of UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST follows the group’s announcement of their strategic partnership deal with REPUBLIC Collective in June and shortly after their performances and participation in KCON LA 2026. The group released their first mini-album in January, EUPHORIA, recording more than 1.44 million copies in its first week of sales and winning four music show awards in South Korea, signaling their emergence as "super rookies."1.44 million copies in its first week of sales, and they won four music show awards in South Korea, signaling their birth as “super rookies.”
