For 1ST.ONE, the wait has been long—five years, sixteen singles, and countless rehearsals—before finally putting their story into one album. This January, the P-pop group is ready to bring it all together in the All 1N Finale Concert, a show that marks the end of one era and the start of another.
Originally set for November, the concert was moved to Jan. 18 to give member Joker more time to recover from pneumonia. The group said it was an easy choice to make, even if it meant another round of adjustments in their busy schedules. They wanted to stand on stage as one complete unit.
“We started as six, and we’ll end this chapter as six,” said leader Ace. “That’s what makes this concert really special for us.”
The upcoming All 1N will serve as a “walk down memory lane,” with performances that trace their growth from debut to present. It’s also a chance to look ahead, as the show doubles as the launchpad for their first full-length album and the sensual new single “Gusto Mo Ba.”
The track, a collaboration with singer-songwriter jikamarie and producer Ken Ponce, introduces a more mature, expressive side to the group’s music. Ace explained that finally releasing an album after years of singles felt like crossing a finish line they’d been aiming for since the start.
“We’ve released sixteen singles in five years, but this is our first full album,” he said. “This time, you’ll hear who 1ST.ONE really is—our sound, our color, our story.”
For Alpha, the project is deeply personal. He said All 1N isn’t just a showcase of their growth but also a heartfelt thank-you to the fans who have stayed through the years.
“This concert is for the people who stayed with us through every single, through all the ups and downs,” he shared. “It’s our way of saying thank you.”
Max added that preparing for All 1N felt like rediscovering the early days of the group—long hours, shared meals, and learning how to make things work despite their differences. He said those experiences helped strengthen their bond and deepen their respect for one another.
“When we were preparing, we realized how far we’ve come,” he said. “We’ve learned to trust each other more, and that’s why this concert feels like a reward—not just for us, but for the fans who never left.”
Meanwhile, J described All 1N as a bridge between the past and what lies ahead. He said the group is ready to show a version of themselves that feels freer and more confident.
“You’ll see a different side of us. We’re still 1ST.ONE, but more confident, more comfortable in our skin,” he said.
Looking back, the members agree that All 1N isn’t just another performance—it’s a turning point that captures both closure and renewal.
“This is the end of one chapter,” Ace said, “but we’re ready for the next story to begin.”
