Yesterday, Alpha Drive One made their pre-debut with high energy and heavy beats — but something interesting happened on the same day:

FNC Entertainment released a solo single by Chuei Li Yu, the Taiwanese contestant who almost made it into the final lineup of Boys II Planet but was eliminated in the last round.

And the contrast? Absolutely striking.

While ALD1’s “Formula” hits hard with swagger and noise, Chuei Li Yu’s song is soft, cute, gentle, and full of sweetness — a love song overflowing with emotion, promises, and the warmth of “you.”

Even more clever, the lyrics play with the sound of his name Li Yu and the English “you”, blending identity and affection in an adorable way.

Let’s look at today’s lines:

“이리저리 생각해 봐야

내 곁에 결국 남은 건 너야

왜 널 볼 때마다 떨리는 거야”

“No matter how much I think about it,

the one who remains by my side in the end is you.

Why do I tremble every time I see you?”

✨ Why It Matters

Chuei Li Yu’s release feels like a gentle promise to his fans — a warm message wrapped in soft melodies and heartfelt lyrics.

While Alpha Drive One races forward with fiery ambition, Chuei Li Yu quietly offers something equally powerful: emotion, sincerity, and a name that rhymes with “you.”

“결국 남은 건 너야” captures it perfectly: In the end, the one that stays… is you.
