Annie of rookie K-pop group AllDay Project \u2014 also known as a granddaughter of South Korean retail conglomerate Shinsegae Chairwoman Lee Myung-hee \u2014 has addressed fans who felt intimidated after watching her high-achieving daily life content, saying the videos show only the \u201ccool and pretty\u201d parts of her routine.<\/p>\n

The singer, who recently returned to Columbia University, shared a vlog-style video on her personal social media showing a packed schedule of classes, workouts, and self-care. The clip quickly drew admiration online, with fans commenting that her \u201cgod-tier productivity\u201d and discipline were inspiring \u2014 but also difficult to match.<\/p>\n

Responding on a fan communication platform, Annie expressed concern that younger followers might compare themselves negatively.<\/p>\n

“I wanted to say something,” she said. “If you only watch the videos I post or what I share on DayOff, it can look like I\u2019m always doing something fun, exercising, and living diligently every day.”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s great if DayOnes, especially younger fans, feel motivated,” she said. “But I hope you don\u2019t compare yourself and think, \u2018Why can\u2019t I spend my days like that?\u2019 When I was younger, I often watched similar videos and compared myself, thinking, \u2018They\u2019re living so diligently \u2014 why can\u2019t I?\u2019 That made me feel more down.”<\/p>\n

Annie said her social media content is intentionally selective. “I only include the pretty and cool parts of my life in videos, and there are far more days that aren\u2019t like that,” she said. “I also have many days where I do nothing and just stay in bed. Even today, it was the first time in two days that I got out of bed after feeling unmotivated.”<\/p>\n

She added that small steps helped her mood. “I felt like I couldn\u2019t keep going like that, so I exercised and did skincare after a few days, and it felt refreshing and really good,” she said.<\/p>\n

She closed by reaffirming her intentions toward fans. “DayOnes are probably much smarter than me and may not think that way, but just in case,” she said. “I want to be good motivation for them.”<\/p>\n

Annie is the granddaughter of Shinsegae Group honorary chair Lee Myung-hee and the eldest daughter of Shinsegae president Chung Yoo-kyung. She is currently majoring in art history and visual arts at Columbia University and recently returned for the spring semester, which runs through May.<\/p>\n
