Highlights of the finale

The finale kicked off with all remaining trainees performing together for the last time. All 16 contestants were given equal screentime individually during this performance. Before the final lineup was announced, each of the top contenders gave a short speech about their journey.

While the top three ranks seemed relatively secure, the battle for the 7th and 8th spots was one of the most dramatic moments of the night. The camera frequently cut to the anxious faces of trainees like Chung Sang-hyeon and Kim Jun-seo, who were the top contenders for the spots.

Despite suspense around his ranking before the finale, Lee Sang-won ultimately reclaimed the top spot, showcasing his consistency throughout the show. He made history by being the only trainee on both seasons of the show to maintain the top position from the first episode to the last one.

One of the most anticipated reveals of Boys II Planet was the official name of the debut group. When Alpha Drive One (ALD1) was announced, reactions were mixed. Fans inside the venue cheered, while online communities joked about its similarity to the supermarket chain “Aldi.” However, producers explained that the name reflects ambition, leadership, and the drive to reach the “first” position globally, giving it a strong symbolic meaning.

With their lineup now confirmed, ALD1 is expected to begin preparations for their debut album and promotional activities. Given the hype surrounding Boys II Planet, fans are sure that the group will have a powerful debut, following in the footsteps of previous survival-show groups like ZEROBASEONE. As fans eagerly await more details, ALD1 is already on the radar as one of K-pop’s most anticipated rookie acts of 2025.
