Recently, the schedule of idol Annie (a member of Allday Project) from late February to March has been spread on social networks, showing her extremely busy work schedule.
According to posts, Annie held a fan signing event in Korea on February 28, before flying to Japan to participate in the schedule on March 7-8. After that, she is expected to go to Indonesia on March 17, Singapore on March 18, Shanghai (China) on March 19, and Taiwan (China) on March 20. She also attended the ComplexCon Festival in Hong Kong (China) on March 22.
Despite her tight schedule, Annie is said to still maintain her return to the US between group activities, to continue her university studies.
The female idol debuted with the Allday Project group in June last year, and is currently studying Art History and Visual Arts at Columbia University (USA) - an Ivy League school.
In January, Annie revealed that she decided to return to school after being informed last year that she could no longer continue to extend her leave. She said she had discussed with members of the group and the management company The Black Label. Annie plans to stay in the US to continue her studies until May.
When the information that Annie was both balancing her studies and participating in promotion with the group spread online, many fans expressed admiration and support for her efforts.
Even before her debut, Annie also attracted attention as the granddaughter of Lee Myung Hee - Chairman of Shinsegae Group - the largest retail and distribution empire of luxury goods in Korea. She is the youngest daughter of Samsung Group founder Lee Byung Chul.
Annie's mother is Chung Yoo Kyung, currently holding the position of Chairman of the department store business of Shinsegae Group.
According to South Korean media, Shinsegae Group's branches are said to have secretly closely monitored Annie's activities.
Although all of her schedules and projects are currently undertaken by The Black Label company (Head Producer Teddy), because Annie is Shinsegae's future heir, the group still maintains close internal supervision.
Sources in the industry revealed: "When Annie announced her debut as a singer, many people worried that she would only be a "rich girl playing art". But now, Annie's way of working has changed public opinion. She has a clear orientation, a professional image and shows seriousness with her job.
She is not the type of tycoon who sings out of hobby. Just look at how Annie answers interviews and you can clearly see her thorough education, she has a proper attitude and exceeds expectations in ability.
