ALLDAY PROJECT's Youngseo: from multiple failed debuts to 2nd place on 'R U Next?' and THEBLACKLABEL

Youngseo finished 2nd on the survival audition program R U Next? Getting there took years.

The ALLDAY PROJECT member, active under THEBLACKLABEL, handles vocals and visuals in the coed group. She trained at another agency first. Multiple debut lineups attached her name—none of them came together. BELIEFLAB was next. Same story: pre-debut team, then the project dissolved.

She reached out to THEBLACKLABEL directly via Instagram DM. They called her in for an audition. She passed, joined the ALLDAY PROJECT lineup, and debuted. (Getting discovered through a DM is rare.)

ALLDAY PROJECT is THEBLACKLABEL's coed group. Before they even dropped music, teasers and member introductions built buzz. Fans tracked the roster closely because of who these people were individually.

Since debut, Youngseo has done magazine shoots, beauty and fashion spreads, YouTube covers, styling videos, favorite item reveals, and ASMR content. The group keeps moving—music, pictorials, brand deals.

A post on the 22nd brought her back into focus.
