Congratulations, boys!

K-Pop history has officially been rewritten. ALPHA DRIVE ONE, the boy group that debuted through Boys Planet 2, has pulled off a feat no male group has achieved in nine years, sweeping all three public broadcast music show No.1 trophies with their debut song.
The group’s wins rolled in back-to-back across Korea’s biggest music shows — Music Bank, Music Core, and Inkigayo! Sweeping KBS, MBC, and SBS is widely considered one of the most difficult accomplishments in K-Pop, especially for a rookie group. Public broadcast music shows weigh digital performance, broadcast points, and general public recognition, not just fandom voting, making this achievement almost unheard of for debuting boy groups.
The last time a male group managed this level of dominance was Wanna One in 2017. As for girl groups, the most recent act to achieve a similar debut sweep was NewJeans in 2022, highlighting just how rare and elite this milestone truly is.
Fans and industry watchers alike are calling Alpha Drive One’s achievement a clear signal that the group isn’t just riding survival-show hype, but has already crossed into mainstream impact territory.

- Congrats!
- Kyaaam ALD1 congrats!
- Congrats congrats!
- Oh, I watched the survival show. Seems like they’re popular.
- There’s two popular Trainee A members, so of course they’d win. I’m not a fan.
- Watching them perform, they did well.
Nine years after Wanna One set the benchmark, ALPHA DRIVE ONE has matched it — and they’ve done it straight out of debut.
