ALLDAY PROJECT proved their monster rookie status with three wins at the 2025 Asia Artist Awards (2025 AAA) in Kaohsiung on Dec. 6, but they were hit with blowback over etiquette after two members were seen resting their shoe-clad feet on car seats used to shuttle idols and actors.
The ceremony took place at the National Stadium in Kaohsiung on Dec. 6. That night, ALLDAY PROJECT took home New Wave, Rookie of the Year, and Best Artist, sweeping three awards.
After the wins, the members said, "We wouldn't be here without our fans. We are always grateful and we love you." However, posts on social media and online communities quickly piled up with takes like "ALLDAY PROJECT is rude." The reason: members Tarzan and Woochan put their feet, with shoes on, up on the seat cushions inside the AAA transport vehicles.
Multiple fan-shot clips show the pair casually greeting people with their feet on the seats. Other stars sat with their backsides on the cushions, not their feet, making Tarzan and Woochan's behavior stand out and draw heavier criticism.
Woochan was also seen sitting with his feet on a seat while the ceremony was underway. Overseas fans flagged the moment and called it "rude." One international user commented, "Do they think being rude is more hip?" The post drew more than 2,000 likes, striking a chord with viewers.
The debate also trended among Korean fans. Supporters who had been cheering on ALLDAY PROJECT wrote, "This was wrong," "Being free-spirited is different from being rude," "Even elementary and middle schoolers would get scolded by their parents for that," and "Already got celebrity disease?"
Meanwhile, ALLDAY PROJECT is gearing up to release their debut EP 'ALLDAY PROJECT.' The six-track set includes the pre-released songs 'ONE MORE TIME' and 'LOOK AT ME.'
