ALPHA DRIVE ONE has become the first K-pop group to grace the cover of a major Chinese fashion magazine.
The group was selected as the cover model for the first 2026 issue of ELLE Men Fresh China. It marks the first time a K-pop group has collaborated with the magazine for a cover feature.
In the newly released pictorial, ALPHA DRIVE ONE showcased a surreal mood where reality and virtual elements coexist. The members pulled off avant-garde styling infused with retro-futuristic sensibilities, highlighting their presence as next-generation fashion icons.
Despite the dreamy atmosphere, the members expressed the group’s signature bright energy through dynamic poses and expressive looks. Their strong teamwork throughout the shoot reportedly also caught the attention of local industry officials.
This cover appearance reflects ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s growing buzz in the Greater China region. Having previously appeared on several major domestic and international magazine covers, the group further solidified their global status by earning the title of “first K-pop group” to front the publication.
ALPHA DRIVE ONE is expected to continue expanding its global reach, with plans to connect with fans worldwide through various upcoming activities and content.
