ALLDAY PROJECT has emerged as one of the most talked-about co-ed K-pop groups of 2025 — not only for their musical talent but also for the series of attitude controversies that have divided public opinion.
Formed by The Black Label and debuting on June 23, ALLDAY PROJECT quickly captured attention with a star-studded and diverse lineup: choreographer Bailey Sok, former Trainee A rapper Woochan, ex-ILLIT member Youngseo, model-turned-idol Tarzzan, and department store heiress Annie.
Their debut singles — including FAMOUS, WICKED, and One More Time — topped Korean charts, showcasing a sharp blend of Western-style production and confident lyricism. But while the group’s musical identity is strong, its members have repeatedly made headlines for behavior many see as arrogant, careless, or culturally insensitive.
Red Carpet Incident Adds Fuel
More recently, footage of Tarzzan and Woochan at AAA 2025 added to the backlash. The two were seen placing their feet on a shared electric shuttle seat — meant for multiple artists, including seniors — prompting criticism for their lack of respect and awareness.
Woochan’s Livestream Sparks LGBTQ+ Backlash
In another incident, Woochan was accused of insensitivity after dismissing a male fan’s playful dating comment with: “You called me hyung, how could we date? I’m not like that.” The response was viewed by many as alienating toward LGBTQ+ fans.
During a speech at AAA 2025, Bailey Sok referred to Taiwan as a “beautiful country”, triggering political backlash from Chinese netizens. She later issued an apology for the unintended offense.
Tarzzan Under Fire for Misogynistic Lyrics
On October 23, Tarzzan posted a short video titled “U FEEL ME” on Instagram, filmed during his trip to Paris Fashion Week. The sleek visuals initially gained praise for their style — until fans listened to the lyrics.
Lines like:
- “She’s the headliner, other btches pre-show,”*
- “These hes talk slick, but it’s you in my line,”*
- “She the only btch who can hit me”*
sparked immediate backlash for being misogynistic and perpetuating harmful gender stereotypes. Critics slammed the language as offensive and unnecessary, especially given the group’s growing international reach.
Some also called out cultural appropriation in Tarzzan’s styling and rap delivery. The controversy spread across social platforms, with fans urging both the artist and The Black Label to take accountability. As of now, no public statement has been issued by Tarzzan or the agency.
Musical Promise vs. Public Persona
Despite the negative press, fans continue to praise ALLDAY PROJECT for their polished performances and dynamic sound. Yet, with so many controversies piling up, critics question whether their strong personalities are outpacing their professionalism.
Industry watchers note that while nothing yet warrants cancellation, The Black Label must manage the group more proactively to avoid long-term damage. As the global spotlight grows stronger, so too does the responsibility to act with cultural and social sensitivity.
