Tarzzan’s pre-debut photos go viral amid ongoing style controversy
Tarzzan from ALLDAY PROJECT is trending after old pre-debut photos surfaced on Pann. The images, which have racked up over 65,000 views and reached the platform’s trending page, show a very different side of the idol.
Known today for his bold, edgy look with oversized streetwear and braided hairstyles, Tarzzan has faced criticism for cultural appropriation tied to his hairstyles.
The newly resurfaced photos reveal Tarzzan with a clean, simple short haircut and a fresh-faced look—far from his current tough, street-influenced image. One picture appears to be from his school yearbook.
Korean netizens reacted with disbelief at the contrast:
“Tarzan’s past photos are seriously shocking.”
“Who even is this guy, WTF?”
Fans flooded Pann with comments praising his softer looks:
“He styled himself to look like a thug, but his natural face is soft and good-looking.”
“You can tell just by looking… small head, handsome features. But more than that, I really like his personality. He’s laid-back and easygoing.”
“Can The Black Label please do his hair and makeup like this from now on? Please?”
“What the heck… why is he so handsome?”
“Even his name is Chaewon. That’s so cute, lol.”
Whether Tarzzan keeps his edgy image or embraces a softer style, his dual visuals are fueling ongoing attention and debate.
