In the episode of 5 August of the YouTube Salon Drip 2 show, hosted by the comedian Jang Do-Yeon, Annie of the K-Pop Co-E Allday Allday group has directly faced voices relating to his debut.
Many online hypothesized that they had received a special treatment due to the grandson of the president of the Shinsegae Lee Myung-Hee group and daughter of the president of Shinsega Jung Yoo-Kyung.
When he was asked if his visual elements or his background led the agency to explore it before, Annie categorically denied him. “No, I auditioned to become a trainee at the black label,“He said.
Annie revealed that she lived abroad during her internship days, which meant that she trained at a distance for almost four years, sending weekly performance videos to the Evaluation Agency.
“Every time I visited Korea during the breaks, I went to the agency to train in person“He added, impressing Jang Do-Yeon with his tenacity.
The episode also deepened lighter moments, such as the way his family reacted to his debut. Annie laughed while remembering her brother saying: “Unnie, your face is on the internet”. The group companion Tarzzan added that his father joked, “Can I leave my job now?“
Both artists recalled that they had spent the nights late at night at Annie Post-Pratic Annie, avoiding ordering food to the company. Annie shared her parents fond of the team, in particular Tarzzan, who often entertain them with performances such as the classic “on the bus of Zaza.
While his background made news during his debut in June with Famoso, Annie is determined to move the spotlight to his effort rather than his lineage. His candid appearance, combined with intuitions behind the scenes, helped to present a more rooted and recognizable side of the beginner’s idol.
