ALLDAY PROJECT faces backlash ahead of debut: Annie Moon's 'intimate' clip to Tarzzan's cultural appropriation creates drama
THEBLACKLABEL's first co-ed K-pop group, ALLDAY PROJECT, is slated to debut on June 23 with members Annie Moon, Tarzzan, Bailey, Woochan, and Youngseo. While the group's unveiling sparked anticipation, it didn't take long for controversy to overshadow the excitement. Even before their official debut, ALLDAY PROJECT has become a trending topic—praised for its unique concept, but also criticized due to emerging scandals involving its members. Tarzzan's cultural appropriation claims Tarzzan was the first member to come under fire ahead of the group's debut for sporting braided hairstyles in teaser images—something many fans have criticized as cultural appropriation. The controversy escalated when it was revealed that he follows rapper Tory Lanez, a figure mired in legal and public scrutiny, on Instagram. Soon after, hashtags like #TARZZAN_OUT began trending on social media platforms. Now, with the release of their debut track FAMOUS, backlash against Tarzzan has only intensified, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), where criticism continues to grow. Many stated that just a few weeks back the girl group Kiss of Life faced major backlash for cultural appropriation. One said, "KIOF got death threats and apologized four times, while this dude has people licking his toes. Goes to show what a disadvantage it is to be a woman in society." kiof got death threats and apologised 4 times while this dude has people licking his toes, goes to show what a disadvantage being a woman is in society Another wrote, "You guys were just crucifying Kiss of Life not even three months ago, but all a 'niggaboo' has to do is be shirtless and a mediocre rapper, and suddenly K-pop stans can't stand on business." you niggas we're just crucifying kiss of life not even three months ago. but all a niggaboo has to do his be shirtless and a mediocre rapper and suddenly kpop stans can't stand on business Annie Moon's 'intimate' clip Born into one of South Korea's most powerful business dynasties, Annie Moon has faced intense scrutiny even before debuting. Labeled a "chaebol idol," she's at the center of growing concerns about privilege in the K-pop industry—where some argue that status and wealth may be eclipsing talent and hard work. While this debate was on, a fresh wave of controversy followed when netizens uncovered photos from her old social media accounts. In a viral post on X, users criticized Annie's attitude, pointing out apparent contradictions between her claims of long-term dedication to music and images showing her in intimate settings. One photo showed her wrapped in a man's arms, another captured a kiss on the cheek. Now, a circulating video clip showed a man lifting her and seemingly kissing her neck as he carries her off is making the rounds. The men remain unidentified, but the content has drawn sharp commentary online. 편하게 틱톡하면서 지냇자너 About ALLDAY PROJECT The group brings together members from diverse entertainment backgrounds.
