[The Financial News] Annie (real name Moon Seo-yoon), a member of the co-ed group AllDay Project, revealed that her Columbia University email address was leaked after she returned to school in the United States. She publicly asked fans to refrain from contacting her through her university email account.
On the 24th, Annie hosted a live "Study With Me" session to communicate with fans via the YouTube channel "ALLDAY PROJECT Global."
During the livestream, Annie spent about an hour and a half working on assignments while chatting with fans. She showed her coursework, explained it to viewers, and shared her own study methods. She even told a fan who might take the same class in the future that she would share her lecture notes.
At one point, Annie cautiously began, saying, "Everyone, there’s something I need to tell you," and added, "I know my school ID is really easy to find, and that anyone who wants to can probably figure it out."
Annie continued, "If you send emails to my school address, it becomes hard for me to find messages from my professors or important notices from the university." She went on, "I’m really grateful because the emails are full of such kind words, but if there’s something you want to tell me, you can leave it on DAY OFF (our fan communication app) or on other channels, and I’ll definitely be able to read it. I’d really prefer that we talk in a different space, not through my school email."
She also expressed concern that her academic schedule could be exposed and asked that her daily life as a student be respected.
Annie said, "If you’ve figured out my school email, that probably means you might also know my class schedule," and added, "If you see me on campus and say hello, I’ll say hello back, but it might be on a day when I’m really not feeling well."
She then lightened the mood with a witty remark: "If you want to see me, you can just study hard and come to Columbia University."
Annie is known as the granddaughter of Lee Myung-hee, chair of Shinsegae Group, and the eldest daughter of Shinsegae Group president Chung Yoo-kyung. She is currently majoring in art history and visual arts at Columbia University and has one final semester left. Having returned for the spring semester that began this month, she is expected to graduate in May after completing the term. While Annie continues her studies, AllDay Project will carry on music production and individual activities centered on members Tarzzan, Bailey, Jo Woo-chan, and Youngseo.
