ALPHA DRIVE ONE's Sangwon Shines in First Solo Variety Show Appearance

Sangwon, a member of ALPHA DRIVE ONE (ALD1), who debuted through Mnet's 'Boys 2 Planet' last year, made a remarkable impression in his first solo appearance on a terrestrial variety show.

On the October 15th episode of MBC's 'The Best', Sangwon captivated viewers with his charming visuals and natural reactions. His genuine demeanor and honest emotions throughout the show enhanced the program's engagement.

During the broadcast, Sangwon displayed a range of expressions, from serious to bright reactions, while watching the performers on stage. His unique gentle aura and warm visuals highlighted his presence, and his enthusiastic reactions added to the viewing pleasure.

Sangwon's sincere attitude stood out as he watched the performances. He was seen enjoying and focusing on the contestants' stages, even shedding tears as he deeply resonated with the lyrics. After singer Lee Ye-jun's performance of 'A Place to Lean On', Sangwon was momentarily speechless, overwhelmed by emotion, before expressing his gratitude with a heartfelt "Thank you," leaving a touching impression.

In 'The Best', where past audition winners compete to be the best of the best, Sangwon left a strong impression as a next-generation variety show star with his stable reactions and genuine attitude, despite it being his first appearance on a terrestrial variety show.

ALPHA DRIVE ONE is set to make their first appearance on Japanese terrestrial TV today (October 16th) on TBS's 'CD TV'.
