Annie from All Day Project revealed the background of her admission to Columbia University, an Ivy League school. On the JTBC variety show "Knowing Bros" aired on the 15th, Annie mentioned her Ivy League admission as one of her pre-debut achievements. She said, "I really wanted to be a singer, but my parents told me that if I wanted to be a singer, I had to get into an Ivy League school." This statement surprised the cast members.

When Kang Ho-dong asked, "Why did your parents make such a promise?" Annie replied, "They thought I wouldn't get in." This answer brought laughter to the scene. Shin Dong added about Annie's remark, "It's like promising to buy something if you get a perfect score," making the atmosphere even more cheerful.

Annie also shared that she is currently on a leave of absence from Columbia University. When Kim Hee-chul asked, "How good do you have to be at studying to get into an Ivy League school?" Annie explained her secret to acceptance: "It's a little scary because people seem to think I'm good at studying, but I actually have really good short-term memory. I did well on exams by cramming."

Annie explained the origin of her stage name "Annie." She said it was a name given to her by the director of her English kindergarten when she was young. "After debuting as Annie, even my family and parents call me Annie," she said. She added, "My mom even gave herself the nickname 'A.M.' for 'Annie's Mom,'" which made the cast laugh.
