ALPHA DRIVE ONE took home first place on the January 23rd broadcast of KBS2’s 'Music Bank' with their debut track “FREAK ALARM,” marking their first-ever terrestrial music show win just 11 days after debut.

During the broadcast, “FREAK ALARM” and ENHYPEN’s “Knife” were announced as the nominees for first place. However, a caption error occurred during the score tally screen, with the artist and song names mistakenly displayed as last week’s nominees, causing confusion among viewers.

Following the broadcast, Music Bank’s production team released an official statement apologizing for the subtitle transmission error and clarified that the scores shown during the broadcast were accurate. They confirmed that the No.1 winner of the 1277th episode of 'Music Bank' was “ALPHA DRIVE ONE – FREAK ALARM.”

With their powerful and charismatic performance, ALPHA DRIVE ONE celebrated their first major milestone since debut. Member Leo shared, “Thank you so much for giving us such an honorable first-place award,” while Junseo added, “We want to become artists who can repay the support of everyone who has worked so hard for us.”
