Chaebol heiress, former Hybe trainee and prodigy rapper: Why Allday Project is going viral
Allday Project's predebut music video 'Famous' hits 2.5 million views in 16 hours, tops YouTube Korea trending charts Allday Project, the first coed K-pop group to debut under renowned producer Teddy Park's The Black Label, is turning heads across the industry — not just for being the industry's first mixed-gender group in eight years since DSP Media's Kard, but for the star-studded resumes and diverse backgrounds of its members. Just 16 hours after releasing the prerelease music video for 'Famous' on Monday, the clip surpassed 2.5 million views on YouTube. It also secured the No. 1 spot on YouTube Korea's Trending chart, overtaking aespa's 'Dirty Work (Performance)' and Plave's 'Hide and Seek,' which ranked No. 2 and No. 3. Globally, the video reached No. 4 on YouTube's US Trending chart and No. 5 in Brazil, demonstrating its international resonance among K-pop fans. The slick cyberpunk visuals of the music video — where spinning accelerates toward the center to express a rising, untouchable energy — play a part in drawing viewers. But much of the buzz stems from the viral interest surrounding the individual members, even before their official debut next week. One reason for the group's spotlight is the presence of Annie, or Moon Seo-yoon, who is the granddaughter of Shinsegae Group chairwoman Lee Myung-hee and the eldest daughter of Shinsegae Group president Chung Yoo-kyung. Annie, 23, opened up about her decision to pursue a K-pop career against her family's wishes in a debut documentary released on the group's official YouTube channel on June 13 — a revelation that made headlines both in Korea and internationally. Another standout member is Youngseo, 19, once confirmed as part of the final lineup for Illit on the television survival show 'R U Next?' in 2023. However, just before her debut, she parted ways with Belift Lab, the agency behind Illit, sparking multiple rumors about her next steps, now culminating in her debut with Allday Project. The third female member, Bailey, 21, is already known in the K-pop scene as a choreographer. She began working professionally at the age of 14 in the US and has choreographed routines for Red Velvet's 'Psycho,' Lisa's 'Money' and Taeyang's 'Vibe.' Her experience includes being a backup dancer for Janet Jackson — further solidifying her credibility. Among the two male members, Woochan is arguably the more familiar name. He appeared on Mnet's 'Show Me the Money 6' in 2017 at just 12 years old, making him the show's youngest-ever contestant and finalist. In 2019, he debuted as a soloist with the single 'Reality Check Time,' showing musical depth beyond his years. He was also once rumored to be part of Big Hit Music's next boy group lineup — the agency behind BTS — but the debut ultimately fell through. The final member, Tarzzan, 22, is already known in fashion and music circles as a model. Since 2022, he has appeared in music videos like I-dle's 'I Do' and NewJeans' 'Supernatural,' while gracing the pages of various fashion magazines. Allday Project is set to officially debut on June 23, with their debut single 'Famous' and the main track 'Wicked.' jaaykim@

Taylor Swift epically shades Kanye West in throwback note to Ed Sheeran
Taylor Swift once shaded Kanye West in a private note sent to her longtime friend Ed Sheeran. Attached to a jar of homemade jam that Swift gifted the 'Photograph' singer, she wrote, 'Yo Ed — I'm really happy 4 you and I'm gonna let you finish but this is the best jam of all-time. — T' Swift's cheeky note referenced West's infamous onstage tirade at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, when he interrupted the singer's acceptance speech. The viral moment initiated a years-long feud between the disgraced rapper, 47, and the 'Anti-Hero' songstress, 35, with both singers going on to diss each other in their music. Swift's 2010 'Innocent' was widely believed to be about West, while West's 2016 'Famous' contained a direct reference to the wildly popular hitmaker. Swift originally gave the jar of jam to Sheeran back in 2013, and he posted a photo of it. However, he shared the photo again on April 2, after creating a new Instagram account to share snapshots from a phone he discarded in 2015. 'It was pretty good jam,' Sheeran captioned the repost. In his original 2013 caption, Sheeran noted that Swift made him the jam and called it 'amazing.' In the comments section, Sheeran's followers couldn't get over Swift's jam — nor could they contain their glee at the epic shade. 'SHE THREW THE BEST SHADE,' gushed a fan, while another remarked, 'Icons only here.' 'Taylor is sooo funny for this!!' commented a third. Others found the musical duo's friendship inspiring. 'You guys have such a great friendship!' wrote a fourth fan. 'Love seeing some of the beginnings of it!' Sheeran and Swift are known for their longtime friendship, and for collaborating on several songs together, including 'End Game,' 'Run,' 'Everything Has Changed' and 'The Joker and the Queen.' While sharing a throwback selfie with Swift on Tuesday, Sheeran reflected on how the old cell phone snapshots inspired his forthcoming new music. 'I found old photos of me with people I was so close to then, but we've lost touch since,' he wrote in part. 'The whole experience was such an emotional journey. I wrote the song 'Old Phone' on my own at 2am whilst jet lagged in India finishing the album, and recorded it that morning.'
