ALLDAY PROJECT's upcoming album release is already facing backlash, for excluding one of the group's members.
On November 26, ALLDAY PROJECT posted a surprise teaser for their upcoming EP album, 'ALLDAY PROJECT.' The teaser showed the official tracklist for the new album, which featured 3 full-group songs and 3 sub-unit/solo songs. However, what caught fans' attention wasn't the songs themselves - it was which members were featured in them.
Letters were included beside each song to indicate which member was included, with T for Tarzzan, A for Annie, B for Bailey, W for Woochan, and Y for Youngseo.
Fans quickly noticed that out of the five members, Youngseo was the only one who was not included in either a sub-unit song or a solo. Adding to fans' anger, some pointed out that Tarzzan was given both a solo and a sub-unit song, making him the only member to have two features, while Youngseo had none.
Since the tracklist release, fans of ALLDAY PROJECT have continued to share their disappointment and criticism for the way the songs were divided up, with many urging THE BLACK LABEL to give Youngseo a solo:
"Excluding the best vocalist from subunits/solo songs is really a strange choice..."
"Please at least give us one solo song with good vocals"
"Where is Youngseo..."
"But if she'd been in ILLIT instead, it would've taken 5 years for her to get to release a solo song. It's probably better that she's in ALLDAY PROJECT - given Teddy's style, it seems like they're leaving one member out for a solo project later"
"Youngseo deserves the solo, not Tarzzan"
"Isn't this just setting the group up for public backlash? It's the first time I've seen a company be so blatant about it like this"
"I hope this was just a mistake.."
"Tarzzan gets 2 subunit/solo songs... while Youngseo only gets the group ones?"
"Isn't this a sign that Youngseo will have a solo album? She's a main vocalist, so it's unlikely she'll just be ignored like this"
"Youngseo should be added in with Tarzzan for Medusa, the way it's arranged right now is not fair"
"They're using Youngseo as a viral marketing strategy"
"Give Youngseo a solo too"
"I won't support the album if Youngseo isn't even included"
