Annie is grabbing everyone’s attention as she shares a glimpse of her life just one week before graduating from a prestigious university in the US! After balancing her group activities and studies, she is finally crossing the finish line. Even actress Ko So-young jumped in to leave a sweet congratulatory comment.
On the 12th, Annie posted a video on her SNS with the short caption “D-7,” showing herself in a graduation gown. In the video, Annie beamed with a bright smile while holding her graduation cap, perfectly capturing her excitement.
Her long wavy hair and pure, elegant vibe definitely caught the eye. Seeing this, Ko So-young left a comment saying, “Congratulations,” while model Irene also showed her love, commenting, “So pretty.”
Annie is well-known as the granddaughter of Shinsegae Group’s Chairperson Lee Myung-hee and the eldest daughter of Chairperson Chung Yoo-kyung. However, fans are more impressed by her diligence in pursuing both her studies and her career than her “chaebol 3rd generation” title.
She is majoring in Art History and Visual Arts at Columbia University. She had briefly paused her studies last year to debut with All Day Project, but returned this spring to finish her final semester. Now, she is finally ready to graduate!
She didn’t just focus on her books, though. Annie recently shared her hectic daily life in the US via SNS, showing everything from working on assignments with her laptop in the library to studio screens filled with recording files, hinting that she’s been working on music too. She’s been on a grueling schedule, traveling to Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, Shanghai, and Taiwan for global activities before rushing back to New York for class. She basically managed overseas fan signs, group activities, and college life all at once!
In contrast to her charisma on stage, her relaxed campus look in a hoodie also caught fans’ attention. Even in a natural style, she radiated a unique aura, proving why she’s a true “wannabe icon.”
By using the hiatus of All Day Project to complete her degree, Annie has truly done it all. Fans are reacting with comments like, “This is seriously amazing,” “She works harder than anyone despite being a chaebol 3rd gen,” and “Now that she’s graduated, I’m so excited for All Day Project’s full group comeback!”
