ALLDAY PROJECT's Tarzzan Shocks Netizens With Pre-Debut 'Soft-Boy' Photos
It is a well-known fact that in the K-pop industry, trainees undergo an intense regimen to alter their aesthetics according to the orders of management or the theme surrounding their debut. In most cases, your favourite idols would not look the same during their pre-debut phases, but what if you're just born with a face that perfectly fits the public's standard of beauty? Recently, netizens were star-struck over shared photos of ALLDAY PROJECT's (올데이 프로젝트) Tarzzan (타잔) pre-debut, posted on the Korean community site, Pann. Noting that his current aesthetic leans towards a bolder, reggae style, which was wrapped up in controversy, fans reminisce about his 'soft-boy' era look and how it would be a better fit for him. The photos uploaded to Pann were revealed to be of Tarzzan's, whose real name is Lee Chaewon's (이채원), pre-debut photos when he was 17 years old. The idol can be seen posing in a high school photo without his now-controversial braids and a shot of him through a digital camera, where fans can witness a softer persona to the idol's usual hip-hop style. Netizens from both Twitter and Pann have agreed that the ALLDAY PROJECT's member looks better without his braids on, mentioning how it gave him a softer look, fitting for his facial structure. A Pann user comments, 'At first glance, he looks like he has a warm heart. Above all, I like his personality; as he looks easygoing and friendly'. Netizens have also supported Tarzzan in his styling choice, mentioning how it would only encompass his debut. Another Pann user comments, 'Right now, this is the group's aesthetic! That's why they have this styling now, and they'll probably do a soft look at some point too'. Do we like a softer look on Tarzzan, or should he maintain his current look?

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. Youngseo comes from a strong survival show pedigree, having competed on R U Next? and previously trained as a pre-debut member of ILLIT. Woochan is known for his early start in the industry—he was part of both OG SCHOOL PROJECT and HYBE's Trainee A. He also appeared on Show Me The Money 6 and later debuted as a solo artist. Annie Moon and Tarzzan transitioned into music from modeling, while Bailey adds a dynamic edge to the group as a seasoned dancer and choreographer.
