ALLDAY PROJECT conveys the message.

      ALLDAY PROJECT sits down with CLASH for their first European interview to talk about their self-titled debut EP, challenging stereotypes and boundaries, and their commitment to continuous growth.

      Having emerged as one of the most talked-about groups in Korea in 2025, ALLDAY PROJECT is ready for their major international breakthrough with their vibrant and adaptable self-titled debut EP.

      When you ask someone in Korea, “Who is your current favorite group?” there's a strong possibility they will mention ALLDAY PROJECT.

      This five-member group, consisting of Annie, Tarzzan, Bailey, Woochan, and Youngseo, debuted in June 2025, immediately captivating the youth of Korea with their bold attitudes and limitless creativity.

      ALLDAY PROJECT made a significant entrance with their hit singles ‘FAMOUS’ and ‘ONE MORE TIME,’ propelling them toward global fame.

      Having already positioned themselves as one of the groups to keep an eye on in 2026, ALLDAY PROJECT continues their impressive momentum with their debut self-titled EP, showcasing a fresh side of the group through innovative and varied tracks.

      Congratulations on the debut EP! How have fans responded so far?

      Bailey: It’s always quite surprising and unexpected. We’re constantly focused on creating music and the artistic side of things. Amid our busy schedules, we occasionally catch glimpses of fans’ reactions, whether in person or online, and it’s always astonishing to witness the love and support.

      What message did you aim to convey with this EP?

      Tarzzan: We prioritized our progress and the music itself over the end results. In terms of the message, ALLDAY PROJECT embodies that message.

      This represents a significant moment in your careers; how did you feel about approaching your debut EP?

      Bailey: We all entered with a mutual understanding to remain open to anything. We embraced all creative and technical possibilities. Whatever it was, we decided to experiment and try everything. Some of our music and performances worked, and some didn’t, but we were ready for that journey.

      What was the day like on set filming the ‘LOOK AT ME’ music video? The choreography is so energetic and the concept is intriguing.

      Annie: Filming the choreography came during a particularly busy period for us. Learning everything in a single day and having to shoot was daunting. However, Bailey figured it out and taught the rest of us, ensuring everyone, including the dancers, knew the choreography. When we saw the footage on the monitor during the shoot, we were all amazed, thinking, “How did we manage to pull this off?”

      Even in our music videos, we aim to represent the essence of ALLDAY PROJECT. Of course, we all want to look cool, but we also think about how we can approach things differently, making the viewer feel connected to what we are trying to express.

      The ‘LOOK AT ME’ music video has numerous interpretations. Even while shooting, we weren’t entirely sure how it would turn out, which is apparent in the video.

      If you didn’t know how it would end up, it must have been exciting to anticipate the fans' reactions?

      Annie: Working with the director for that particular video [Rimayoon], whom we also collaborated with for our FAMOUS music video, was great. She uses a lot of CGI, so during filming, we often were unsure how each shot would look when incorporated. When we watched the first cut before its release, we were all blown away and thought, “Wow, that’s incredible!” It’s always enjoyable for us to see the final product.

      While it may be challenging to articulate, how would you express what ALLDAY PROJECT represents?

      Annie: As you mentioned, it’s difficult to define. We’d like to consider ourselves as undefinable, which is somewhat humorous. The core idea is that we don’t want to confine ourselves; we aim to challenge ourselves, even if that means facing failures at times. Some endeavors may not pan out, but we consistently seek new experiences, preferring to push against stereotypes and boundaries, which is what we hope to convey to our audience.

      Is that why you believe you’ve resonated with the younger generation so meaningfully?

      Tarzzan: For me, it’s simple to explain. Each member is like an Infinity Stone in Thanos’ gauntlet. Together, we can transform the world. I refer to ALLDAY PROJECT as “The Gauntlet.”

      Bailey: It’s a project. While we develop as individual artists, our collective dynamic creates an ongoing project.

      That’s fascinating. I was curious about how you've adjusted after experiencing so much success in such a short time. It’s interesting that you refer to it as a “project.” Does that alleviate the pressure since there’s no final goal, and you’re continually evolving?

      Bailey: That’s a significant part of our identity and what we want to represent as artists. Instead of setting a specific goal

“Anger, Death, & Acceptance”: Stevie Knipe of Adult Mom Provides a Voice to Life’s Toughest Emotions on ‘Natural Causes’ - Atwood Magazine

Stevie Knipe shares their experience of living with cancer, expressing emotions that they previously felt unable to articulate through song. The creation of Adult Mom's candid and unfiltered fourth album, ‘Natural Causes,’ emerges as a deeply affecting work influenced by illness, resilience, and the hard-fought right to communicate openly without hastening towards closure.

Continuing with part one of our 2026 movie preview, we are presenting our countdown of the 50 most-anticipated films of the year.

50. Sheep in the Box and Look Back (Hirokazu Kore-eda)  

Between 2013 and 2023, Hirokazu Kore-eda has produced eight features (with at least five considered outstanding, not accounting for his earlier works). The Japanese Palme d’Or winner is known for his enchanting family dramas and intricate mysteries, paired with his unwavering dedication. With two films set to premiere in 2026, Kore-eda is returning after a relatively brief three-year hiatus (aside from directors like Kiyoshi Kurosawa). Based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s acclaimed work, Look Back explores the bond between two manga artists who have contrasting personalities, while the futuristic Sheep in the Box depicts a couple who welcomes a sophisticated humanoid as their son. – Luke H.

49. Cry to Heaven (Tom Ford)  

Tom Ford has expressed his desire to focus solely on filmmaking in the remainder of his career. His adaptation of Anne Rice's Cry to Heaven—his first project since the divisive Nocturnal Animals in 2016—is anticipated to mark the beginning of a new era characterized by Soderbergh-like productivity. Set in 18th-century Italy, the story revolves around two contrasting opera singers, potentially portrayed by Ford’s prior associates Nicholas Hoult and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, with a star-studded cast that includes Adele in her acting debut. Although filming starts in January, the Italian backdrop suggests he may be aiming for a Venice premiere. – Alistair R.

48. Untitled Jesse Eisenberg film  

In his upcoming feature, Jesse Eisenberg is set to direct a musical comedy centered on local theater. Featuring Julianne Moore, Paul Giamatti, and Halle Bailey, the untitled film tells the story of a timid woman captivated by a mysterious director after she lands a role in a local production. This bold follow-up from Eisenberg contrasts his previous exploration of shared grief in A Real Pain with a lighter tone that may resonate more with audiences. – Michael F.

47. October (Jeremy Saulnier)  

Following the tumultuous production of his 2024 film Rebel Ridge, which ultimately resulted in a commendable crime thriller and a fortunate recasting choice, writer-director Jeremy Saulnier is diving back into work with October. Renowned for his visceral filmmaking, Saulnier’s latest project is described as a horror-action-thriller set during Halloween, hinting at a return to form. With Rebel Ridge relegated to a Netflix release, it’s exciting to see him collaborate again with distributors A24, bringing along a notable cast that includes Imogen Poots from his previous film, along with James Badge Dale, and rising stars Chase Sui Wonders and Sophie Wilde, and showcasing Cory Michael Smith in his first leading role. – Mitchell B.

46. Primetime (Lance Oppenheim)  

Lance Oppenheim makes his narrative cinema debut with Primetime, inspired by Chris Hansen's work on Dateline and To Catch a Predator. This non-documentary feature stars Robert Pattinson as an investigative journalist, supported by a notable cast including Phoebe Bridgers and Merritt Weaver. Oppenheim’s documentaries often delve into unique community aspects and unconventional interactions, suggesting that Primetime will follow a similar thrilling vein. – Michael F.

45. Saturn Return (Greg Kwedar)  

Greg Kwedar, co-writer of Trains Dreams, is set to direct his latest film, Saturn Return, for Netflix. This romantic drama, featuring Charles Melton, Rachel Brosnahan, and Will Poulter, spans a decade, exploring the evolution from youthful college romance to the complexities of adulthood. If it mirrors the emotional depth of Kwedar’s last project, Sing Sing, Saturn Return may capture the simple yet poignant aspects of existence. – Michael F.

44. Burning Rainbow Farm (Justin Kurzel)  

Justin Kurzel has been adept at crafting compelling narratives from true crime tales, and following his career zenith with The Order, he returns with Burning Rainbow Farm. This film recounts the story of a couple running a cannabis-friendly community in rural Michigan whose lives are turned upside down when they clash with the law and lose custody of their young son, culminating in a dramatic siege. Sebastian Stan, fresh off an Oscar nomination for The Apprentice, stars alongside Leo Woodall in this love story about outliers challenging societal norms. – Mitchell B.

43. Whitney Springs (Trey Parker)  

Kendrick Lamar’s film debut is certainly unconventional, especially as it’s coming from the South Park team. Directed by Trey Parker and produced by Parker, Matt Stone, Lamar, and his partner Dave Free, the film is a dark comedy about a Black man who works as a slave reenactor and discovers his white girlfriend’s ancestors owned his ancestors.
