A recent radio show appearance by the rookie mixed K-pop group PROJECT ALL DAY has sparked widespread reactions online, thanks to a viral video that has now amassed over 1.8 million views.
In the clip, the group discussed how photos posted on their official accounts often prioritize showing off the best of the female members. A male member, Tarzzan, jokingly remarked: “Men should listen to women well…” to which Woochan added in a supportive tone, “I support girls who look good.”
Tarzzan echoed this sentiment, saying he was fine with it too, while Annie, one of the women, quickly clarified: “We didn’t force them to say it. Please don’t misunderstand.”
Despite the lighthearted tone, the conversation quickly sparked debate among netizens. Some praised the group’s unity and gentlemanly attitude, especially in a mixed context:
- “This is the right mentality for a mixed group.”
- “They were clearly well trained.”
Others, however, have reported inconsistencies in the messages. Critics pointed out that a male member had previously appeared on a different show, expressing frustration that photos of male members were often unflattering. He allegedly joked about them being published even though they looked alike “ghosts” and had expressed his desire for more beautiful photos.
- “Why the sudden change of location? Is this part of a new concept?”
- “Calling yourself a gentleman while judging women by how well they cook pancakes? That’s a wake-up call.”
The incident sparked a larger conversation about image management, gender roles and authenticity in mixed K-pop groups. While some fans see the comments as a display of camaraderie and professionalism, others see them as scripted and contradictory to past remarks.
AS PROJECT ALL DAY continues to increase in popularity, the public’s scrutiny of their dynamics both on and off camera only seems to grow.
