ALLDAY PROJECT has revealed how they got their group name.
During their recent radio appearance on 'Cultwo Show,' the rookie co-ed group from THEBLACKLABEL shared the story behind their name. According to Annie, the word "ALLDAY" was first spoken by Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am.
She said: "When our co-ed senior, Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am sunbaenim saw the five of us together, he said the word 'ALLDAY' came to his mind. That’s how we decided to go with that name."
After sharing the story, the hosts expressed their admiration, and the other members, including Tarzzan, playfully added, "Yes, our 'Pump It' hyungs and noona," referencing the Black Eyed Peas' hit song.
Netizens reacted with pleasant surprise, wondering how the group was connected to will.i.am. Several recalled his past collaborations with 2NE1 and Teddy during their time at YG Entertainment. Some also pointed out the irony of the situation, as Australian rapper Allday has reportedly threatened legal action against the group over his trademark.
In related news, the official video of the Cultwo Show episode featuring ALLDAY PROJECT on June 29 has quickly gained traction, surpassing 170k views at the time of writing. The group has also achieved a major milestone by already reaching #1 on Melon's daily chart with "Famous," securing their place on the streaming platform widely used by domestic listeners.
