Netizens are reacting to The Black Label's official announcement of its co-ed group member lineup.
Teddy's label has launched the ALLDAY PROJECT, featuring five members. The lineup includes both interesting and familiar faces, already drawing significant attention from netizens.
The group's profile photo introduces the five confirmed members: Annie, Tarzzan, Bailey, Woochan, and Yeongseo.
As reported, Yeongseo, a former member of ILLIT's initial debut lineup, was recruited by The Black Label for this co-ed group.
Netizens are also pointing out that Moon Seo Yoon (pictured below), promoting as Annie, is the granddaughter of Shinsegae Group's chairwoman Lee Myung Hee and the eldest daughter of current chairwoman Chung Yoo Kyung. The Shinsegae conglomerate operates one of the largest department stores and duty-free businesses in South Korea. SMTR25’s Nicholas is also said to be the nephew of a top executive from the same chaebol family.
The group also features Jo Woochan, who gained fame after appearing on 'Show Me The Money 6' before debuting. He became known as the youngest contestant in the show’s history to reach the finals and later promoted as a rapper. Woochan and Yeongseo share the common background of originally being set to debut under HYBE Labels. Woochan was also a member of Trainee A, BigHit Music’s planned boy group in 2021, but after the debut was canceled, he transferred to The Black Label.
Another member, Bailey Sok, is a well-known Korean American dancer and choreographer.
Joining her is Lee Chae Won, promoting as Tarzzan, a Korean model and dancer who has appeared in NewJeans’ "Supernatural" MV, i-dle’s "I DO" MV, and Hong Suk Chun’s 'Jewel Box.'
Reactions to this co-ed group have already been explosive and varied, with many netizens expressing excitement and curiosity—especially highlighting the inclusion of a "chaebol family’s daughter," which many believe will "definitely help with their investment and marketing."
Comments included:
"There are a lot of dancer members, so the performances should be fun. Is there anyone who's good at singing?"
"Wow, what's with the title 'Shinsegae chairwoman’s daughter' ㅋㅋㅋ"
"If they promote her as the Shinsegae daughter, this group definitely won't go unnoticed... if the song is just decent, they'll probably do well ㅋㅋㅋ And seeing dancers and known performers in the lineup, the stage presence will likely be strong too."
"The group photo seriously gives off 90s vibes ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
"This feels fresh."
"What kind of combination is this… no way, now I’m curious about the stage."
"Bailey Sok is debuting here, huh."
"Ooh wow! So the Shinsegae granddaughter is a good dancer?? She gives off a model vibe—this is exciting."
"This is seriously so unexpected (p). I’m already looking forward to it."
"Isn’t Naver's Lee Hae Jin’s son in The Black Label too? This is like a debut platform for nepo babies;;;"
"Bailey Sok looks like Kim Chaewon. The moment I saw the photo I thought, 'Is that Kim Chaewon?'"
"Ah… Lee Chae Won ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ I look at his Insta all the time and never realized... Suddenly, I’ve become a fan of this group..."
"Wait what, that’s the male lead from NewJeans’ MV?"
"This feels like something international fans will go wild for—not me, but still."
"This group combo is wild ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
"What kind of chaotic mix is this—now I’m really curious about the stage."
"It’s true that trying something others aren’t doing gives you a better shot at success, but it’s also a gamble. I hope it works out."
"Co-ed groups are amazing. Current Shinsegae chairwoman’s daughter??? Wow..."
"Two HYBE trainees, two choreographers... the choreography is going to be insane."
"Feels like they’re aiming for the overseas market."
"So the Shinsegae chairwoman’s daughter is finally debuting...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
"A mix of guys and girls, plus a chaebol daughter, with a hip YG-like aesthetic—tons of hardcore niche fans are gonna cling to this. Even someone who doesn't know anything about idols finds it intriguing, so the general public reaction will probably be hot too, as long as the song is good."
"Feels like a young and hip version of KARD."
"It’s all or nothing with this one. Teddy, you better deliver a good track."
"Even among Korean fans, I feel like it'll attract those who like a hip vibe ㅋㅋㅋㅋ If the song and concept are strong, it could really work."
"Please just make the song amazing. I’m getting the feeling this might hit…"
"Wait, Bailey Sok?????"
"They’re definitely getting major investment."
"Wow, what a wild lineup. There were rumors that the Shinsegae granddaughter and Yeongseo would debut, and it’s this group, huh."
"There are two trainees who were already rumored during the MEOVV days."
