One fan directly commented on the group’s official announcement, writing:
โAIGOOO WE ARE SO READYโ
Other fans shared their enthusiasm and theories online. One user pointed out, “no way their ‘whatโs in my bag’ pics on insta were kind of a spoiler and part of their concept,” suggesting the group had been planting clues. Another fan, impressed by the scale of the plans, joked about the agency’s budget: “Surprised at wakeone’s budget ๐ But damn.. this is cool!”
The schedule also sparked speculation about the album’s sound and theme. Fans are trying to decode the vibe from the version names like JEWEL CASE, STAR ROAD, and FREAK ALARM. One fan described their interpretation, saying, “euphoria feels very dessert-ish vibe like a traveller with compass in dessert,” while another admitted, “this is giving cowboys, aliens, travelers IM SO CONFUSED WHAT IS THE CONCEPT ???”.
ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s Journey to Debut
ALPHA DRIVE ONE (ALD1) is an eight-member multinational boy group under WAKEONE Entertainment. The members are Junseo, Arno, Leo, Geonwoo, Sangwon, Xinlong, Anxin, and Sanghyeon. They were formed through the Mnet reality survival show BOYS II PLANET, which concluded in September.
The group has already given fans a preview of their music. They performed their pre-release single, FORMULA, for the first time at the 2025 MAMA Awards on November 28. That performance ended with the words “ROAD TO EUPHORIA” on screen, which fans now recognize as the first hint of this upcoming album.
The release of FORMULA as a digital single followed on December 3, 2025. The song is confirmed to be included on the EUPHORIA mini album.
