As THE BLACK LABEL unveiled the members of its new co-ed group ALLDAY PROJECT, several familiar faces caught the public’s attention.
On June 9, THE BLACK LABEL officially introduced the members of ALLDAY PROJECT through its social media platforms.
A teaser video titled “What is ALLDAY PROJECT?” was also posted on its official channels.
In the video, the narration begins:
“What is ALLDAY PROJECT? The world doesn’t know much about this project yet, but it’s now ready.”
The message continues with a more mysterious tone:
“Is it human nature to constantly seek something new? Maybe not for everyone. Some might say: ‘There’s still more to uncover,’ ‘Where did this project come from, and what’s its real purpose?’ ‘Could it be that different people are coming together to change the world?’ — Nothing is certain yet, so approach with caution.”
The group’s official debut is scheduled for June 23 at 6 p.m. (KST). This marks the first co-ed idol group debut in nearly 8 years, since KARD debuted in July 2017.
The group consists of five members: three females and two males.
Among them is ANNIE (Moon Seo Yoon), previously seen in leaked photos. Born in 2002 (age 23), she is currently attending Columbia University and is the great-granddaughter of Lee Myung Hee, chairwoman of the Shinsegae Group. She is also the eldest daughter of Chung Yoo Kyung, president of Shinsegae, making her a 4th-generation chaebol heiress.
Renowned choreographer BAILEY SOK will also debut as a member of ALLDAY PROJECT. She was seen alongside ANNIE in the leaked photos. Like ANNIE, BAILEY holds dual Korean-American nationality and was born in 2004.
LEE YOUNG SEO, who was originally expected to debut with HYBE’s group ILLIT, will now be debuting with ALLDAY PROJECT. Born in 2005 (age 19), she was previously one of HYBE’s rising trainees.
Also in the lineup is JO WOO CHAN, a finalist from “Show Me The Money 6”, who later trained under HYBE. Born in 2005, he is already known in Korea’s hip-hop scene.
Lastly, TARZZAN (Lee Chae Won), a former model, will also debut with the group. Born in 2002, he appeared in NewJeans’ “Supernatural” music video and participated in the show “Hong Seok-cheon’s Treasure Box.” He graduated from Busan Arts High School and currently studies at the Korea National University of Arts – Dance Department.
With these well-known faces coming together under ALLDAY PROJECT, the public response is a mix of high expectations and skepticism about their future in the K-pop industry.
