ALPHA DRIVE ONE's Arno sustains bone fracture ahead of debut

ALPHA DRIVE ONE's Arno has sustained a bone fracture shortly before the group's scheduled debut, according to Wake One Entertainment on January 10 KST.

The label notified fans on this day,

"Hello, this is Wake One. 

We sincerely thank ALLYZ for your continued support toward ALPHA DRIE ONE.

We would like to update you on member Arno's health condition and future activities in light of the upcoming release of ALPHA DRIVE ONE's 1st mini album 'Euphoria' scheduled for January 12 KST.

Previously on January 7 KST, after wrapping official schedules in preparation for the group's debut, Arno misstepped on a set of stairs and fell. As a result, he visited the hospital and was diagnosed with a bone fracture, being advised that he refrain from rigorous physical activities such as dancing temporarily. 

Both the artist and the label find it very unfortunate that such developments took place just ahead of ALPHA DRIVE ONE's debut, but rest assured, we plan to prioritize the artist's safety and recovery utmost.

However, after discussing the matter at length with the artist and taking into account his strong desire to meet his fans, Arno intends on participating selectively in official promotions that do not require performing on stage. 

Currently, the artist is taking necessary measures for his recovery per the advice of medical experts. We will provide additional updates on his treatment and future activities accordingly.

We ask fans for your understanding as we deliver this sudden and concerning news while you waited patiently for ALPHA DRIVE ONE's debut.

We will do our best so that Arno can focus on his treatment and recovery in a comfortable environment.

Please send your words of cheers and encouragements so that Arno can stand on stage healthy again soon.

Thank you."

Meanwhile, Arno participated as a contestant on the Mnet idol competition program 'Boys II Planet' using his given name Zhang Jiahao, finishing 5th place overall and earning his debut spot in ALPHA DRIVE ONE.
