Boys II Planet is facing backlash over its newly revealed group name. The debut group’s title is ALD1, which stands for Alpha Drive One. Fans are reacting with disbelief and laughter.
Criticism surged after the name was announced on September 25. Many called it a poor choice, with several netizens mocking the similarity to popular grocery chain Aldi.
“Bro, are we serious?” one user tweeted, capturing the sentiment perfectly. Others chimed in:
“THE GROUP NAME IS ALPHA DRIVE ONE (ALD1), MNET YOU’RE KILLING ME.”
“We hated alpha and ald1 and they made it both.”
Despite previous rumors of an even more divisive name, the confirmation of ALD1 was still met with ridicule.
Fans couldn’t help but joke about the name, with one user remarking, “Congrats to the new ALD1 employees, I guess,” while another quipped that their fanbase should be called “cashier.”
Mnet also released the official motion logo alongside the group name announcement. The situation continues to unfold as the final of Boys II Planet airs.
Stay tuned for more updates.
