Alpha Drive One's Anxin Shows True Idol Spirit with Injury During High-Stakes Music Core Performance

Alpha Drive One (ALD1) are proving that heart matters more than perfection. On June 15, just hours after wrapping their energetic three-day 'STAR ROAD' fan-con at Incheon's Inspire Arena, fans noticed something concerning during the group's appearance on MBC's Music Core. Chinese visual Zhou Anxin better known simply as Anxin powered through their dynamic performance of hits like "OMG!" and "Freak Alarm" sporting a noticeable brace on his right wrist.

Fan cams shared across social media captured the moment clearly: Anxin hitting every sharp choreography move with his signature charisma, even as the brace peeked out during intricate formations. "He was smiling through it all, greeting fans at the post-con fanmeet like nothing happened," one Allyz (the group's fandom) shared in an emotional thread. "It broke my heart but also made me so proud."

The injury appears to have occurred during the intense final day of the fan-con on June 14, amid high-energy sets that had the arena buzzing. Fellow member Xinlong was also seen with minor scrapes, highlighting the physical demands these young idols face. Yet, with no official statement yet from WakeOne Entertainment or the group, fans are stepping up with an outpouring of support and calls for better artist health transparency a conversation echoing broader industry discussions.

As a visual who ranked high during Boys II Planet and brings that effortless charm to ALD1's multinational lineup (alongside members like leader Leo, Junseo, Arno, and more), Anxin's dedication resonates deeply. "Idols are human," noted K-pop industry analyst Ji-hye Park. "Performing injured shows commitment, but agencies must prioritize recovery to prevent long-term issues. Fans seeing this firsthand humanizes these stars."

Allyz worldwide are flooding timelines with well-wishes: "Get well soon, Anxin! Your smile lights up every stage." The group, fresh off their January 2026 debut with Euphoria and multiple music show wins, continues promoting strongly reminding us why they captured hearts so quickly.

In an era of relentless schedules, moments like this remind us of the real people behind the spotlight. Here's hoping for a swift, full recovery for Anxin so he can keep shining. Stay strong, ALD1 we've got your back.
