ALPHA DRIVE ONE have officially brought their second mini album, UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST (read as UNBREAKABLE : FRAGILE BEAST), to U.S. retailers with the release of its physical edition.
Available beginning today, the album can be purchased through major U.S. retailers including Target, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon; K-Pop specialty retailers K-Pop Nara and hello82; and the group’s official store.
The physical album is available in three versions — Fragile Beast, Cementic Nest and Hissing — each featuring a U.S.-exclusive postcard and retailer-exclusive photocard. A signed version is also available exclusively through ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s official store.
Coinciding with the U.S. physical release, ALPHA DRIVE ONE also unveiled a new digital edition of UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST. The expanded nine-track release includes sped-up and slowed-down versions of the title track “BORN DIRE.” Member-specific editions also feature a “Voice Note” track containing a personal message from each member to the group’s fandom, ALLYZ.
Originally released on August 24, UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST explores the growing pains of youth as they face prejudice, stigma, and the vulnerability that comes with being perceived as different. “少年BEAST” represents a label imposed on the boys by others rather than an identity they choose for themselves, reflecting the tension between outside perceptions and their own sense of identity.
Title track “BORN DIRE” centers on pushing forward amid the chaos of the world, pairing ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s intense performance style with a modern interpretation of the raw energy associated with British rave and punk.
The mini album sold 1.13 million copies during its first week of release, according to Korea’s Hanteo Chart, bringing ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s cumulative album sales — including debut mini album EUPHORIA — past 2 million copies. “BORN DIRE” also earned the group three Korean music show wins, while UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST received Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), marking the group’s first Gold Disc certification ahead of their official Japanese debut.
The U.S. release follows several steps in ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s international expansion during their debut year. In June, the group’s agency, WAKEONE, announced a strategic partnership with REPUBLIC Collective. Two months later, ALPHA DRIVE ONE made their first U.S. stage appearance at KCON LA 2026.
Their recent activities have also taken them to Europe and Latin America. In September, ALPHA DRIVE ONE performed at Music Bank in Barcelona before traveling to Mexico City for KOREA SPOTLIGHT at K-EXPO MEXICO, where they performed and met fans through a fan signing event.
With UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST now available physically in the U.S., the release marks another step in ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s international expansion during their first year as a group.
