Annie (Moon Seo-yoon) from the group All Day Project revealed the reason she was allowed to debut as a singer.

On the 27th, a video titled 'The First Variety Project with a Wicked Senior: Variety Officer School | All Day Project Compilation' was released on Daesung's YouTube channel 'Jipdaesung'.

The All Day Project (Annie, Tarzan, Bailey, Woo-chan, Young-seo), who appeared as guests that day, debuted on the 23rd. Their debut song 'FAMOUS' has captured attention by ranking first on the Melon 'Top 100' chart.

In particular, Annie is known to be the granddaughter of Shinsegae Group Chairman Lee Myung-hee and the eldest daughter of Shinsegae Chairman Jeong Yoo-kyung, which has drawn attention even before her debut.

Daesung asked Annie, "How did you get permission?" and Annie explained, "Actually, it took 10 years. At first, they said absolutely not. When I insisted that I had to do it, the final deal was 'Go to an Ivy League school'."

Annie was only able to become a trainee at The Black Label, led by Teddy, after being accepted into Columbia University, a prestigious school in the U.S. Annie added, "Since it was a promise that couldn't be avoided, they allowed me."

Annie also mentioned, "My family listens to a lot of music from One Time, Big Bang, 2NE1, and BLACKPINK," and shared, "We once went on a family trip. It was a big family trip, so we traveled by tour bus, and my mom was really into Big Bang's 'Fantastic Baby' at that time. She kept playing the music video on the bus screen. My mom knows all the accessories from 'Fantastic Baby' by heart; she has watched it so many times," which surprised Daesung.
