Landing a third trophy for the same comeback isn’t just a nice milestone — it’s a strong indicator that ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s promotional cycle is building real traction across multiple music shows, a pattern that often points to a group solidifying their place in an increasingly crowded rookie landscape. Going up against an established powerhouse like NCT 127 and still coming out ahead adds even more weight to the win.
