A recent radio show appearance by rookie co-ed K-pop group ALLDAY PROJECT has stirred widespread online reactions, thanks to a viral video that’s now amassed over 1.8 million views.
In the clip, the group discussed how the photos posted to their official accounts often prioritize showcasing the female members at their best. One male member, Tarzzan, jokingly remarked, “Men are supposed to listen well to women…” to which Woochan added supportively, “I support the girls looking good.”
Tarzzan echoed the sentiment, saying he was also fine with it, while Annie, one of the female members, quickly clarified: “We didn’t force them to say this. Please don’t misunderstand.”
Despite the light-hearted tone, the conversation quickly ignited debate among netizens. Some praised the group’s unity and gentlemanly attitude, especially in a co-ed setting:
- “This is the right mindset for a co-ed group.”
- “They’ve clearly been well-trained.”
Others, however, called out inconsistency in messaging. Critics pointed out that a male member had previously appeared on a different show, expressing frustration that photos of the male members were often unflattering. He allegedly joked about them being posted even if they looked like “ghosts” and had voiced his wish for nicer pictures.
- “Why the sudden change in stance? Is this part of a new concept?”
- “Calling yourself a gentleman while judging women based on how well they cook pancakes? That’s a red flag.”
The incident has sparked a broader conversation about image management, gender roles, and authenticity in K-pop co-ed groups. While some fans view the comments as a display of camaraderie and professionalism, others see it as scripted and contradictory to past remarks.
As ALLDAY PROJECT continues to rise in popularity, public scrutiny over their dynamics both on and off camera only seems to grow.
