K-Pop Rising Star Annie Shares Her Journey to Columbia University and Music Career

Annie Moon, known as a rising K-pop artist and daughter of Shinsegae's Jung Yoo-kyung, shared her mother's reaction upon her acceptance to Columbia University.

In the recent episode of the YouTube channel 'Psick University,' titled 'Annie from All Day Project, Tarzan, and Bailey Ask How to Get to Ingeupdong,' the members of All Day Project showcased their wit and humor.

During the show, host Lee Yong-joo asked Annie, "What's the most you've received as New Year's money?" Annie replied, "I've never been in Korea for Lunar New Year. I was in New York, so I never spent that time with family," adding, "I received an allowance in dollars," which brought laughter to the studio.

Lee then inquired about a family promise that Annie could pursue music if she got into an Ivy League school. Annie confirmed with a bright smile, "That's right."

Jung Jae-hyung expressed admiration, saying, "Preparing for the SAT must not have been easy," while Kim Min-soo curiously asked about her score. Annie candidly revealed, "I scored 1530 out of 1600." She recalled the moment she got accepted to Columbia University, saying, "I told my mom, 'I got in,' and she responded, 'Really? That's interesting,'" mimicking her mother's reaction and bringing more laughter to the studio.

Annie majored in Art History at the prestigious Ivy League school, Columbia University, but is currently on a break from her studies. On June 23, she officially debuted as a member of the five-member co-ed group All Day Project, marking the start of her music career.

Previously, Annie revealed that she was only allowed to pursue music after her acceptance to Columbia, which garnered attention.

Meanwhile, All Day Project's debut song 'Famous' has climbed the music charts, gaining significant attention.
