ALPHA DRIVE ONE and LNGSHOT Share New Artist Win at 2026 Melon Music Awards
The 2026 Melon Music Awards at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome crowned ALPHA DRIVE ONE and LNGSHOT as co-winners of New Artist of the Year on November 15, wrapping up the two-day event themed “K-POP CONNECT: The New Pulse.” Both rookies shone on the red carpet in sharp coordinated outfits and delivered high-energy performances, with LNGSHOT's medley of “Saucin’,” “Backseat,” “Moonwalkin’,” and “Bananas” earning praise for its playful choreography. In their speech, Ryul thanked fans called SHOTTIES, their agency DPN, and family, while AOMG’s Jay Park offered backstage support. The shared honor highlights their quick rise less than a year in.
