Not just because they\u2019re coed, a rarity among South Korean groups (AllDay Project is made up of three women and two men), but their style isn\u2019t what you typically see in a South Korean pop group. While many boy bands and girl groups wear similarly tailored outfits that exist within the same color palette, each member of AllDay Project has a distinct, individualistic fashion sense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cMore than the fact that it\u2019s coed, all five of us come from very different backgrounds,\u201d says Annie. \u201cWe\u2019re very different people to begin with and we have different strengths and weaknesses and that\u2019s what makes us very special in my personal opinion. We\u2019re just like five best friends chasing one dream together. I\u2019m so grateful I get to do my job with my best friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAllDay Project was in Hong Kong to perform at the second annual TMElive International Music <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/t\/awards\/\" id=\"auto-tag_awards\" data-tag=\"awards\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Awards<\/a> (Aug. 22-23). Aside from enjoying some Hong Kong egg tarts and milk tea, they rocked the crowd at Kai Tak Stadium with their debut single \u201cFamous\u201d (which Billboard named one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/lists\/best-kpop-songs-2025-so-far\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">best K-pop songs<\/a> of 2025), among other hits. The fresh-faced group said that \u201cFamous\u201d felt different for them even during the recording session.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201c\u2019Famous\u2019 really means a lot to us,\u201d said Bailey. \u201cIt connects with us on a deeper level for sure. It feels super authentic sonically and lyrically as well. The whole time we were making this song, we were hoping we could connect with people the way it connected with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tFor AllDay Project, finding inspiration as a group isn\u2019t tough \u2013 particularly since they spend so much time together. \u201cWhenever we\u2019re not working we choose to hang out with each other,\u201d says Annie. \u201cSomething new always comes up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWe just generally love to be stupid,\u201d Tarzzan says about hanging out together. \u201cLike a child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWatch more of Billboard\u2019s AllDay Project interview as part of our latest episode of Billboard All Access above.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-billboard-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/0-ADP\u5c01\u9762.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"1024\" width=\"800\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBillboard China<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBillboard\u2019s travel and accommodations for the TIMA Honors were covered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/t\/billboard-china\/\" id=\"auto-tag_billboard-china\" data-tag=\"billboard-china\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Billboard China<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\t<a class=\"c-logo lrv-a-unstyle-link u-display-inline-flex lrv-u-width-100p  u-max-width-100 u-height-26 u-max-width-130px@mobile-max u-margin-t-040@mobile-max\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/\" title=\"Billboard\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"c-tagline  a-font-accent-l@desktop u-font-size-1205 a-font-accent-xs@mobile-max u-font-size-15@mobile-max u-line-height-22px@mobile-max lrv-u-text-align-center@mobile-max u-letter-spacing-0030@mobile-max lrv-u-padding-t-025 lrv-u-margin-a-00 u-padding-t-0125@mobile-max u-padding-b-0063@mobile-max\">Get weekly rundowns straight to your inbox<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"c-link  lrv-a-unstyle-button lrv-u-cursor-pointer lrv-u-display-inline-flex lrv-u-background-color-brand-primary lrv-u-background-color-black:hover lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-color-brand-primary:hover u-padding-lr-0.875 u-padding-tb-10 lrv-u-flex-shrink-0 u-align-items-center a-font-basic-fancy-xs u-margin-t-0.188 u-margin-b-0188 u-margin-b-040@mobile-max\" href=\"https:\/\/preferences.mail.billboard.com\/preferences\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\tSign Up<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When AllDay Project sat down for a backstage interview with Billboard, you could immediately tell they were different&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":935713,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[3042,274750,49,48,95,75,4481,341],"class_list":["post-935712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-awards","tag-billboard-china","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-china","tag-entertainment","tag-genre-kpop","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/935712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=935712"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/935712\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/935713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=935712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=935712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=935712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
