ALLDAY PROJECT's Annie (real name Moon Seoyoon) is drawing attention after glimpses of her modest daily life were released.

On the 5th, Annie posted a photo on a fan communication platform along with the message, "I'm on a plane going on a trip with a friend." In the photo, she is seen seated on the plane wearing a headset and diligently writing something in a notebook.

What especially caught attention was the seat she was using. Despite being from a chaebol family and a famous idol, she was flying in economy class rather than first or business class. Along with the photo, she added, "I'm studying for finals on the plane. My friend secretly took this picture, but I thought Day One would like it."

After the news spread, netizens reacted with comments like, "Even a chaebol granddaughter idol flies economy. I should reflect on myself for debating if I should fly first class," "If Annie flies economy, who am I to complain... I suddenly feel humbled," "I thought she'd obviously fly at least business, this is surprising," and "Traveling in economy class while studying for finals. This is the definition of living productively."

Some netizens also speculated, "Business and first class needs to be booked in advance. Maybe there were no seats left because she booked the trip last minute," and "It's probably because she's traveling together with her friends."

Annie is currently preparing for her graduation from Columbia University in New York, where she is double majoring in Art History and Visual Arts.
