THE BLACK LABEL's ALLDAY PROJECT, unveiled performance videos for their song WICKED on June 23 at 6 PM KST (2:30 pm IST/ 5 AM ET). The mixed-gender group made a striking debut with not one, but two versions of the musical offering. WICKED is the lead single of their debut album, which embodies the fearless and unapologetic spirit that defined their pre-debut track, FAMOUS. The group had already generated significant buzz with the reveal of its diverse members and the release of a futuristic music video for FAMOUS. With Lee Youngseo, Annie Moon, Bailey Drew Sok, Jo Woochan, and Tarzzan (real name Lee Chae Won) showcasing their talents, expectations were high for their latest single, WICKED. The two versions of the performance video– MOVIE SET and BASEMENT have their own unique charms. Check out both versions of WICKED performance video here: Although both of them use grey-blue-black-themes, the BASEMENT version puts the spotlight on the song's powerful choreography while the other one focuses on the captivating 360° videography. The track WICKED is an experimental blend of Brazilian Funk, Trap, R&B and Drill. It provided each ALLDAY PROJECT member with the creative freedom to express their unique style and personality without restraint. Annie, Woochan and Tarzzan goes hard with the raps, Yeongseo adds lyrical balance to the her soothing voice and Bailey's smooth dancing makes it visually appealing. The song is an embodiment of THE BLACK LABEL's statement that the group's"creative direction isn't confined by the framework of K-pop." They aptly echoed the sentiment through the lyrics of the song, which were penned down by the group's members, in collaboration with global hitmakers Theron Thomas, Tommy 'TB Hits' Brown, Amanda Ratchford and Courtlin Jabrae Edwards. The track is produced by Dominsuk and 24 from THE BLACK LABEL. ALLDAY PROJECT is here to "do some damage" to the prejudices traditionally placed on co-ed teams and prove their mass appeal. The lyrics "Gotta pop out and show out, they really not ready/Be scared when we pull up" are the group's mesage to the music industry that they are gearing to make a mark in the sphere.

ALLDAY PROJECT faces backlash ahead of debut: Annie Moon's 'intimate' clip to Tarzzan's cultural appropriation creates drama
THEBLACKLABEL's first co-ed K-pop group, ALLDAY PROJECT, is slated to debut on June 23 with members Annie Moon, Tarzzan, Bailey, Woochan, and Youngseo. While the group's unveiling sparked anticipation, it didn't take long for controversy to overshadow the excitement. Even before their official debut, ALLDAY PROJECT has become a trending topic—praised for its unique concept, but also criticized due to emerging scandals involving its members. Tarzzan's cultural appropriation claims Tarzzan was the first member to come under fire ahead of the group's debut for sporting braided hairstyles in teaser images—something many fans have criticized as cultural appropriation. The controversy escalated when it was revealed that he follows rapper Tory Lanez, a figure mired in legal and public scrutiny, on Instagram. Soon after, hashtags like #TARZZAN_OUT began trending on social media platforms. Now, with the release of their debut track FAMOUS, backlash against Tarzzan has only intensified, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), where criticism continues to grow. Many stated that just a few weeks back the girl group Kiss of Life faced major backlash for cultural appropriation. One said, "KIOF got death threats and apologized four times, while this dude has people licking his toes. Goes to show what a disadvantage it is to be a woman in society." kiof got death threats and apologised 4 times while this dude has people licking his toes, goes to show what a disadvantage being a woman is in society Another wrote, "You guys were just crucifying Kiss of Life not even three months ago, but all a 'niggaboo' has to do is be shirtless and a mediocre rapper, and suddenly K-pop stans can't stand on business." you niggas we're just crucifying kiss of life not even three months ago. but all a niggaboo has to do his be shirtless and a mediocre rapper and suddenly kpop stans can't stand on business Annie Moon's 'intimate' clip Born into one of South Korea's most powerful business dynasties, Annie Moon has faced intense scrutiny even before debuting. Labeled a "chaebol idol," she's at the center of growing concerns about privilege in the K-pop industry—where some argue that status and wealth may be eclipsing talent and hard work. While this debate was on, a fresh wave of controversy followed when netizens uncovered photos from her old social media accounts. In a viral post on X, users criticized Annie's attitude, pointing out apparent contradictions between her claims of long-term dedication to music and images showing her in intimate settings. One photo showed her wrapped in a man's arms, another captured a kiss on the cheek. Now, a circulating video clip showed a man lifting her and seemingly kissing her neck as he carries her off is making the rounds. The men remain unidentified, but the content has drawn sharp commentary online. 편하게 틱톡하면서 지냇자너 About ALLDAY PROJECT The group brings together members from diverse entertainment backgrounds. Youngseo comes from a strong survival show pedigree, having competed on R U Next? and previously trained as a pre-debut member of ILLIT. Woochan is known for his early start in the industry—he was part of both OG SCHOOL PROJECT and HYBE's Trainee A. He also appeared on Show Me The Money 6 and later debuted as a solo artist. Annie Moon and Tarzzan transitioned into music from modeling, while Bailey adds a dynamic edge to the group as a seasoned dancer and choreographer.

Free meals for three months: Aberdeen University can make it happen - as long as you're willing to eat LOTS OF FISH
Would you like to have free fish-based meals for three months? With the help of Aberdeen University, you can. The university is hoping to underline the benefit of eating more of our local catch as part of a new project. Lucky participants will have a 14-week menu selected for them by the Rowett Institute's dieticians with regular monitoring of the relative changes to their health. The £750,000 project, which is being called the FAMOUS study, is funded by the UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council. They say it is codenamed FAM-OUS because it compares fish and meat-based diets. The latest project comes shortly after the Rowett published Scottish Government-funded research showing many vital nutrients are 'lost' because the UK exports so much of the fish caught by our fleets. That report concluded fresh efforts are urgently needed to increase the quantity of fish we eat as a country, which falls significantly short of the recommended intake. The project is specifically aimed at providing strong scientific backing for the heart health benefits of eating fish. The team is looking for healthy, overweight (BMI 25-29.9) 30–65-year-old meat eaters. These people should have elevated blood lipids, sugar, or blood pressure but not be on medication or have any history of heart disease or other inflammatory diseases. They should also not be on medication for cholesterol or lipaemia or taking any dietary supplements. Taking part will involve following different diet plans over set periods and having heart health and gut microbiome changes monitored and assessed. Participants will get a free health check and dietary advice as well as having all their food provided for 14 weeks and expenses covered. It is a menu designed by expert dietitians and nutritionists at the renowned Rowett Institute. Rowett Institute director and one of the FAMOUS study lead researchers, Jules Griffin, said he was 'delighted' with some of the dishes set to be served up to volunteers. They include curries and fish cakes. 'This region produces some of the best fish and seafood in the world and yet many of us eat a rather limited range, perhaps just fish and chips on a Friday,' he said. 'We missing out on some great tasting food. 'But fish is also an important source of vitamin D and polyunsaturated fats. 'They protect us from serious diseases, including cardiovascular disease.' To apply to take part, or find out more, please contact Frank Thies ( or Morven Cruikshank ( Alternatively, visit the Rowett website.
