As the K-Pop industry continues to usher in its 5th generation, new idols are constantly being introduced to the public, and with them comes a wave of scrutiny.

Among the more divisive rookies is Tarzzan, a member of the newly formed ALLDAY Project, who has drawn significant attention for both his appearance and style choices.

Since debut promotions began, Tarzzan has been the subject of ongoing debate among fans and netizens alike. From his bold personality to his distinct look, including frequently wearing braided hairstyles — a style that has led to accusations of cultural appropriation — the ALLDAY Project star has quickly become a polarizing figure among fans.

This week, controversy surrounding him intensified when a post about his “real-life” visuals went viral on the Korean forum Pann. The post included two “unfiltered” screenshots of Tarzzan from a recent variety show appearance. The caption compared his visuals to a blend of BIGBANG‘s Daesung and Taeyang, sparking a wave of comments, many of which were ruthlessly critical.

• “He’s seriously ugly.”
• “He gives off major ‘male loser’ energy.”
• “He’s just trying to look unique with styling. Let’s be real, does he actually have the visuals to be an idol?”
• “His face = Daesung + Taeyang + BOBBY.”
• “I actually like the hairstyle, it’s cool. But I hope he lets it down next time.”

International fans have also hit the idol with heavy backlash when it comes to his visuals. His reaction on a recent music show encore stage has been scrutinized, and a post criticizing his appearance has since gone viral on X (formerly known as Twitter).
