All Day Project Awaits First Earnings as Yoo Jae-suk Praises Their Dedication

The group All Day Project has revealed that they have yet to receive their first earnings since debuting. Annie, who is also known as the eldest daughter of Shinsegae's Jung Yoo-kyung, expressed her anticipation for the first payout.

On the 4th, a video titled '251204 mini핑계고: Yoo Jae-suk, All Day Project (Annie, Tarzan, Woochan) @뜬뜬편집실' was posted on the YouTube channel '뜬뜬'.

Yoo Jae-suk praised the efforts of All Day Project, expressing admiration for their dedication. Woochan commented, "Annie is genuinely passionate. When preparing music and performances for a long time, one might become complacent. Our team members always strive endlessly and independently, which aligns with our goal of being free from constraints." Yoo Jae-suk was impressed, asking if Woochan read a lot, to which Annie jokingly asked if he memorized his words. Woochan humorously added, "My mom often criticizes me, saying my interviews lack substance." Yoo Jae-suk noted, "Parents are quite strict these days," and complimented Annie on her elegance.

The group also discussed their financial situation. Tarzan mentioned, "We haven't received our first earnings yet." Yoo Jae-suk inquired if the payment was forthcoming, speculating about the company's expenses and profit-sharing. Yoo Jae-suk asked, "So, do you have no income right now?" Annie replied, "We've done some commercials, so I expect it soon," expressing her anticipation. Woochan added humorously, "I'm really looking forward to it."

Yoo Jae-suk acknowledged the group's success, saying, "It's remarkable to shoot commercials and top the charts right after debuting. It's not easy." He added, "When people around you say, 'Treat us since you're doing well,' it's not always feasible." Woochan shared, "Friends often ask me to treat them, and I do so even if it's a bit much."

Tarzan asked Yoo Jae-suk about his feelings after receiving his first earnings. Yoo Jae-suk reminisced, "After becoming a comedian, my first paycheck was about 64,000 won. People usually save it or buy gifts for their parents. Honestly, I saved up and went to a nightclub. It was a great memory, and I don't regret it."
