PROJECT ALL DAY has quickly become one of K-pop’s most explosive rookie names, introducing a co-ed lineup under The Black Label that blends swagger, bold concepts and a sound that resonates with mainstream listeners. Among the members, the one who consistently draws the most curiosity is Annie Moon, the chaebol heiress-turned-idol whose every move has been scrutinized since her debut.
As the daughter of one of South Korea’s most influential families, Annie entered the industry surrounded by expectations and suspicions. While idols from privileged backgrounds are nothing new, her family’s status has created an even heavier layer of expectations and skepticism.
Recently, a Musical core fancam caught Annie performing “ALL DAY PROJECT”and the video quickly sparked intense debate online. In a segment that required precise and flexible footwork, Annie was visibly struggling. “Bailey and the two male members handled the choreography with clear hip-hop foundations, but Annie seemed to lose rigid movements, zero precision,” one viewer commented.
Netizens pointed out that her overall dancing still lags behind the rest of the group. They described his movement as “rigid”, “robotic” and “uncontrolled”. What caught many by surprise is that Annie had previously revealed that she spent seven years as an apprentice, preparing for this debut.
There were also jokes circulating comparing them to BLACKPINKit’s Jisoo, call Annie at “robot style dancer 2.0.”
Despite this, fans have defended her, noting strengths in other areas. Annie’s live vocals have been described as “stable,” and her confidence and stage presence received generally positive comments. Some argue that The Black Label, known for its images of girl crushes, clearly intends to position Annie as a visual centerpiece, not a lead dancer.
Due to her past, Annie constantly faces receiving stolen goods charges “special treatment” or using “connections” to secure his place in the group. This scrutiny makes the public much harsher on him than on other rookies. A short fancam was enough to reignite the debate: is being beautiful and charismatic enough or does an idol have to be skilled in every area?
In the meantime, PROJECT ALL DAY is growing at a remarkable rate, which means the group needs balance and consistent performance levels among members. If Annie wants to avoid the “weak link” label, she may need to make rapid improvements in her dancing.
Whether Annie can overcome the pressure of family expectations, audience doubts, and an already burgeoning group of rookies remains a question fans are eager to see unfold.
