Big news is buzzing in the K-pop world as Teddy, the mastermind behind Black Label, introduces a brand-new co-ed group called All Day Project. With a lineup that promises to shake things up, fans are eager to see what this fresh ensemble has in store.
On June 8th, the group unveiled its five-member roster, which features three talented women and two charismatic men. Among the standout names is Bailey Sock, a dancer with an impressive pedigree. Born on February 24, 2004, in California, Bailey is the daughter of Judy Sock, a former Miss Korea contestant. With a dance career that began at the tender age of two, Bailey has already made waves in the industry, showcasing her choreography in some of K-pop’s biggest hits, including Red Velvet’s “Psycho” and Lisa’s “Money.”
Joining Bailey is Annie Moon, a name familiar to many as a prominent trainee. Born on January 23, 2002, Annie hails from a prestigious family, with connections to both the Shinsugai Group and Samsung. Although she was initially set to debut with Mayov, she chose to pursue her own dreams after fulfilling her family’s academic expectations. Annie’s social circle is just as impressive; she has been spotted with members of BTS and even participated in a dance challenge with YGX dancer Lee Jung Lee.
The third female member, Lee Youngo, brings her own unique background to the group. Born on November 13, 2005, in Seoul, she was previously a trainee at SM Entertainment and participated in the reality show RU Next. After a brief stint with Beyft Lab, she is now ready to showcase her talent with All Day Project.
On the male side, Joe Wuen is a name that resonates within the hip-hop community. Born on January 20, 2005, in Seoul, he spent years in Australia before returning to Korea. Joe gained recognition as the youngest contestant on “Show Me the Money 6,” and has collaborated with notable artists like Pentagon’s Hoy. His journey through various projects has led him to this exciting new chapter with All Day Project.
Completing the lineup is Lee Chay Wan, known as Tarzan. Born on September 27, 2002, he has a background in modern dance and has made his mark as a model. However, his inclusion in the group has sparked some controversy online, with discussions around cultural appropriation and his social media choices.
All Day Project is set to officially debut on June 23rd at 6 p.m. KST with their mini-album “Famous,” featuring tracks titled “Famous” and “Wicked.” As fans eagerly await this new venture, the anticipation is palpable.
Meanwhile, the iconic girl group Blackpink is also making headlines. On June 9th, YG Entertainment confirmed that the members began filming a new music video on June 6th, signaling their much-anticipated comeback. Fans have been buzzing about the production, which reportedly involves a collaboration with a renowned international director and features a large crew and extras.
In a recent update, Ji Su shared her excitement with fans, hinting at an important event on the horizon. However, not all news has been met with enthusiasm; fans expressed disappointment over her absence from a production briefing for her upcoming film, “Omnisient Readers Viewpoint.”
Additionally, Rosé is reportedly working on a new solo soundtrack for the upcoming film “Lena and the Paper Doll,” starring Uma Thurman, continuing her streak of solo projects. And in a twist, speculation surrounding Lisa’s rumored cameo in Jennie’s “Soul City” music video has been put to rest, confirming that the mysterious motorcyclist is not her.
As Blackpink gears up for their grand return, excitement is building among fans, each member continuing to make waves in their respective endeavors. What surprises lie ahead for these K-pop powerhouses?
