ALLDAY member Annie is facing backlash over her pre-debut social media photos.
Although Annie deleted her old Instagram, netizens dug up pictures of her posing intimately with men. One viral post on X slammed her attitude, questioning her claims of long-time dedication to becoming a singer.
A user wrote:
"You wanted to become a singer for a long time? Who would believe you when you say that you really wanted to debut and worked hard despite your family’s objections if you upload such photos on Instagram?"

The photos show Annie in the arms of several men, including Samuel Lim, a close friend linked to celebrities like BLACKPINK’s Rosé.
Some netizens defended Annie, pointing out that Samuel Lim’s sexuality has not been openly discussed and suggesting he might be gay.

Other men in the photos remain unidentified.
Keeping a clean social media record is crucial for many idols, especially before debut. Annie’s old photos sparked a heated debate, with the original post hitting over 4 million views already.
The situation is ongoing as fans and critics monitor the fallout.
