Recently, rookie Kpop group Allday Project was one of the artists performing at the annual KCON 2025 music festival in Los Angeles (USA). This is one of the group's biggest stages since their debut, so it also received the attention of fans.
However, after the show, the appearance of Allday Project became a topic of discussion because of the international audience's reaction to this group.
Some videos circulating online show that the group's performance only received limited support from the audience. In one clip, when Allday Project performed the song "Wicked", there was almost no cheering or movement in the crowd.
Netizens described this scene as a "silent black sea" often mentioned in Kpop idol culture, showing the audience's opposition to the artist/group they do not like.
The lack of enthusiasm of international audiences was clearly shown in another clip, when tarzzan member greeted the audience with the line " Los Angeles! Are you all well? , but he received a much weaker response than the other members.
Many people believe that the Allday Project group being left cold was due to negative reactions to tarzzan since their debut.
This male idol, when introduced by The Black Label company, has continuously faced accusations of cultural appropriation because of his style and hairstyle.
Up to now, although tarzzan's opposition still exists, the management company and the artist seem to be not interested and continue to pursue their favorite image. Even on the red carpet and the 2025 KCON stage, tarzzan still left a controversial hairstyle.
Allday Project is one of the rare mix groups in Kpop, consisting of 3 female members Annie, Bailey, Youngseo and 2 male members tarzzan, Woochan. The group debuted in June 2025, under the production company The Black Label of Teddy.
Allday Project became the center of attention from the very beginning because member Annie is a famous philanthropist.
Annie is the daughter of Chung Yoo Kyung, Chairman of the department store business of Shinsegae Group, Korea's largest luxury retail and distribution empire.
Annie's grandmother is Lee Myung Hee, Chairwoman of Shinsegae Group and the youngest daughter of Samsung Group founder Lee Byung Chul.
But then, it was Allday Project's two debut music products, the songs "Famous" and "Wicked", that conquered the audience, achieving good results on Korean music charts.
Allday Project is being evaluated as a rookie with great potential in Korea.
