According to a report by TENASIA on the 14th, Annie will re-enroll at Columbia University, which begins its spring semester around the 20th, to focus on her studies. Majoring in Art History and Visual Arts, Annie plans to stay in the U.S. until the semester concludes in May, dedicating herself entirely to her academics.
Despite the imminent start of the semester, Annie is currently busy with a packed schedule, including advertisements and photo shoots, as she wraps up her activities before her brief hiatus. She plans to depart for the U.S. soon after completing all her commitments.
Annie's journey to Columbia University, an Ivy League institution, is well-known. As the eldest daughter of Shinsegae Group's President Jung Yoo-kyung, Annie focused on her studies to gain her mother's approval, who initially opposed her idol debut. Her hard work paid off when she received an acceptance letter from Columbia University, allowing her to pursue her dream of debuting in a K-pop group.
ALLDAY PROJECT, a five-member co-ed group produced by hitmaker Teddy, made a significant impact on the K-pop scene with their debut single 'FAMOUS' in 2025. Known for their unique music that defies genre and form, they have quickly captured a global fanbase since their debut.
