…including a fake fan-made apology that addressed both the video and his past cultural appropriation accusations.

Hello, this is The Black Label.

First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for the recent controversy surrounding member Tarzzan and the news of his departure, which has caused concern among fans.

Tarzzan has been actively participating as a member of the team, but repeated instances of cultural appropriation and inappropriate remarks have led to significant disappointment among fans. In particular, the recent incident involving the use of the N-word has been taken very seriously by both the company and the artist. After thorough discussions and review, we have decided on Tarzzan’s removal from the team.

We deeply reflect on the harm caused to fans due to our lack of oversight and will do our utmost to strengthen artist education and internal systems to prevent such incidents from happening again.

We kindly ask for your continued support for the remaining members of the ALLDAY PROJECT, so they can continue their journey in a healthier and more sincere way. We will do our best to regain your trust.

Thank you.

In a viral post compiling the accusations against Tarzzan, many Korean netizens found it to be an overreaction from international fans.

“He’s just insanely popular in Korea, that’s all. LOL”
“What’s even the problem with these foreign fans?”
“Best thing to do is just ignore the international fans going crazy.”
“I’ve seen fans get worried no matter which idol gets that hairstyle so is there really a reason to insist on it?”
“Whatever, don’t worry about it, Tarzzan.”

Many gave the advice to ignore the opinions of the international fans. However, some suggested he change his hairstyle.

“Can’t he even choose his own hairstyle?”
“What’s so wrong about that hairstyle anyway?”
“There’s no such thing as one international K-pop fandom, each group has its own. Just ignore them.”
“I figured the international fans would flip out over the hair, but wow… they really never change. What, did he spit in their shampoo or something?”
“LMAO”
“America’s not the only country in the world, you know…”
“These insane international fans… Tarzzan’s one of the few idols lately who’s actually normal and fun, why do they hate him so much?? It’s honestly sad.”
