On September 25, ALLDAY PROJECT’s official YouTube channel released a video featuring Annie and fellow member Woochan visiting a dog shelter. Annie shared that it was a place she had often visited even before her debut. “I used to come here before debuting, and Woochan kept asking me to bring him along. So we came today,” she explained.

Appearing barefaced and dressed casually, Annie spent time feeding the dogs, petting them, and even carrying one back inside when it tried to slip out of the yard. She also jumped in to clean cages upon noticing worms, showing no hesitation to take on the less glamorous tasks.

During a walk with a visually impaired dog, Annie gently guided it with reassuring words: “You hear a lot of footsteps, right? There are many people ahead.” She later lifted another dog over a step it couldn’t climb, showing compassion beyond a simple volunteer experience.

Annie also joined in on photoshoots to help promote adoptions, joking with the dogs, “Photo shoots are tough, you have to endure them,” while sweating in the summer heat to match their eye level for better shots.

She further raised awareness by highlighting the need for volunteers to accompany dogs on overseas adoptions: “Most of these dogs go abroad. When they do, we need people to help with travel arrangements if their schedules align.”

After wrapping up, Woochan reflected, “I feel like I’ve gained a lot of energy. I hope more people come here to help,” while Annie added, “I’d love to come again with the rest of our members,” playfully waving a dog’s paw to say goodbye.

Viewers praised Annie’s sincerity, leaving comments such as: “Her natural, makeup-free look is even more charming,” “The way she spoke gently to the dogs was touching,” and “Her down-to-earth side outshines her luxurious background.”

Annie is the eldest daughter of Shinsegae Group’s Chairwoman Chung Yoo-kyung and the granddaughter of Honorary Chairwoman Lee Myung-hee. She became a trainee under The Black Label in 2021, trained for about four years, and finally debuted with ALLDAY PROJECT in June 2025. Currently on leave from Columbia University, Annie is focusing on her career in entertainment.
