Just when you thought K-pop idols might be allowed to breathe, Tarzzan from ALLDAY PROJECT went and committed the unthinkable: he performed… at a club. That’s right — a club. In Itaewon. Less than three months after its debut. Naturally, the internet did what it does best: spiraled into chaos.
A few brave souls on social media took it upon themselves to sound the alarm. One viral post mourned the sanctity of rookie idols, saying, “It hasn’t even been 3 months since debut, and yet a rookie is performing at a club just because an acquaintance asked… taking pictures blatantly flipping the middle finger… I just can’t anymore :)” Yes, the smiley face really drove home the tragedy.
National Emergency: Rookie Idol Drinks… Water?

Let’s get the facts straight. THE BLACK LABEL reportedly invited Tarzzan from ALLDAY PROJECT to perform at the club. No scandalous behavior here — unless you count refusing alcohol and sipping water as an act of rebellion. According to witnesses, he stayed hydrated and even dared to correct people holding the Korean flag upside down on Liberation Day. What a menace.
Still, for some, this performance was the equivalent of setting the idol rulebook on fire. “Isn’t this a group that was created to be idols?” one commenter lamented, as if ALLDAY PROJECT didn’t announce from day one that they weren’t here to play by anyone’s rules.
“Not Your Doll” – Fans Fire Back
Of course, not everyone was outraged. Many fans clapped back hard, reminding critics that ALLDAY PROJECT exists specifically to challenge industry norms. “ADP isn’t your normal idol group,” one user posted. “They do what they want, not what you expect. Idols are people, not your doll.” Shocking, right?
Others suggested that people quietly exit the fandom if they can’t handle a group that doesn’t mold itself to textbook idol behavior. “Just admit you don’t like Tarzzan. Quietly leave the fandom instead,” wrote one fed-up fan.
The reaction was so divided, you’d think Tarzzan had set off fireworks in the middle of a press conference. Some fans even joked that the exodus of outraged stans was a blessing — “One less person fighting for concert tickets,” as one witty post put it.
If a Female Idol Did This… Oh Boy
Then came the double standard discourse. “If a female idol had done this, they’d be cancelled into oblivion,” one netizen pointed out. But sure, let’s keep pretending it’s about “standards” and not selective outrage.
Clips of Tarzzan’s performance — including the now-infamous middle finger shot — have gone viral on TikTok, racking up views and hashtags like #alldayproject and #tarzzan. Scandalous? Maybe. Iconic? Arguably.
No official comment has been released by ALLDAY PROJECT or Tarzzan yet. Maybe they’re too busy making music, challenging norms, and — worst of all — drinking water.
