"It's been so long since I felt this hyped about a new idol group." — That's how listeners are reacting to the debut of ALLDAY PROJECT, the latest rookie group from THEBLACKLABEL.
🔥 Back to Co-ed K-pop? Let's Go!
Co-ed groups are a rare sight in K-pop these days. You'd have to go back to the golden age of Roo'ra, COOL, Koyote, or S#arp to find one. Even KARD, who debuted in 2017, felt like a nostalgic throwback.
Now, after 8 years, a new co-ed group has entered the scene. ALLDAY PROJECT is made up of five highly buzzed-about members: ANNIE, TARZZAN, BAILEY, WOOCHAN, and YOUNGSEO.
