ALLDAY PROJECT‘s Annie, Tarzzan, and Woochan appeared on the December 4 episode of the YouTube show “뜬뜬 (Ttun Ttun)”, hosted by Yoo Jae Suk, where they spoke candidly about finances, expectations, and their early success.
During the conversation, Tarzzan admitted that the group has not received its first payment yet, making it difficult for him to express gratitude to supportive friends and acquaintances.
Yoo Jae-suk responded with understanding, asking: “Will the settlement come soon? Does it take a bit more time?”
Annie replied honestly: “I’m not sure.”
Yoo Jae-suk then explained the general structure artists face in the industry: “Typically, after subtracting trainee and production costs, once your revenue passes that break-even point, that’s when you start receiving payment. Since the group is doing well, it shouldn’t take long.”
Annie added: “We’ve filmed commercials, so I think our settlement will come soon. We’re expecting it at least a little.”
Woochan chimed in humorously: “I’m expecting it a lot.”
The studio erupted in laughter.
Yoo Jae-suk praised the group’s performance: “Debuting is already difficult, but filming ads and hitting No.1 on music charts right away? That doesn’t happen easily. Even if people say, ‘Hey, treat us!’ you probably can’t yet.”
Woochan confessed that friends often urge him to pay for meals: “My friends keep telling me to treat them, so I sometimes overdo it and use my own money.”
Yoo Jae-suk laughed loudly: “Don’t worry the revenue you’re generating will come back soon. Good news is definitely coming.”
Tarzzan then asked Yoo Jae-suk what he did with his first-ever settlement. Yoo Jae-suk replied with his signature honesty: “When I debuted as a comedian, the first amount deposited into my account was around 64,000 won. I saved it up and went to a nightclub. It’s a great memory, and I don’t regret it at all.”
The lighthearted moment wrapped up the conversation with laughter, highlighting both the struggles and excitement of artists at the beginning of their careers.
As ALLDAY PROJECT continues to grow in popularity with music chart success, variety appearances, and commercial deals fans are eagerly waiting for the day the members receive their well-earned first payment.
