Look, let's be honest, collaborations between mobile games and K-pop acts are as common as rain in Manchester, but Nexon has announced on August 9 that KartRider Rush+ is teaming up with the K-pop group ALPHA DRIVE ONE. Through this collaboration, karts and cosmetic items personally conceptualised by the members of ALPHA DRIVE ONE will land in KartRider Rush+ on September 22. On top of that, a three-part variety show capturing the members in action will drop on the official ALPHA DRIVE ONE YouTube channel, alongside a social media sharing event for good measure.

The first episode of the variety content premiered on August 8, showing the members—who are apparently genuine players of KartRider Rush+—brainstorming some rather creative item ideas. The upcoming second episode will track the process of those designs actually coming to life inside the game, while the third episode is set to feature a proper racing showdown among the members.

To celebrate this partnership, Nexon is running a social media sharing event until September 21. If you fancy a shot at winning, simply share the URL of the first web variety episode on your personal social media channel, write your expectations along with the mandatory hashtags, and submit it on the event page. Three lucky souls chosen through a lucky draw will walk away with the 2nd mini-album signed by the members of ALPHA DRIVE ONE.
