ALLDAY PROJECT - ANNIE
Member ANNIE of the co-ed group ALLDAY PROJECT is heading to the United States. She is temporarily setting aside her dazzling idol activities.
According to THE BLACK LABEL on January 14, ANNIE will resume her studies this month at Columbia University in New York, United States. The spring semester will continue through May, and ANNIE plans to focus on her studies during this period. However, for certain commitments such as fan sign events held during the semester, the possibility of participation remains open following coordination.
ANNIE is the granddaughter of LEE MYUNG HEE, executive chairwoman of the Shinsegae Group, and the eldest daughter of JUNG YOO KYUNG, which earned her significant attention prior to her debut under the label of a “chaebol idol.” She is majoring in art history and visual arts at Columbia University, a member of the Ivy League, and after a training period at THE BLACK LABEL, led by executive producer TEDDY, she officially debuted last June as a member of ALLDAY PROJECT.
Stories surrounding ANNIE’s academic path and debut are already well known. Admission to university was a condition. ANNIE devoted herself intensely to preparing for entrance exams and obtained her admission letter from Columbia, which allowed her to move closer to her path as a singer. ANNIE stated:
“Because people doubted my sincerity in pursuing this path, I had to prove its authenticity. I had no choice but to live each day even more fiercely.”
Her academic background was also discussed on JTBC “Knowing Bros” and MBC “The Manager”. The revelation of her SAT score of 1530 out of 1600 earned her recognition as an “idol shaped by effort.”
