Recently, a post has been going viral on Twitter in which Korean netizens criticized Cortis Keonho for wearing a hanbok with sagging pants.
The post, which reads, “Don’t sag in hanbok, please,” has sparked mixed reactions across social media.
Some argued that it wasn’t an issue, pointing out that Keonho wears a complete hanbok during official greetings, and these photos are just part of a fashion photoshoot. Others, however, expressed disapproval, insisting that traditional attire should be worn properly at all times.
Keonho and his group did wear traditional hanboks during their Chuseok greeting, and many fans feel the viral criticism over photoshoots is exaggerated, especially since the feature is part of a fashion article about Chuseok outfits.
The controversy intensified when a fan asked AllDay Project’s Tarzzan what it would be like if he himself wore a hanbok with sagging pants. Tarrzan replied,
“Hey, there are times and places. I don’t wear hanbok with sagging either. There are pants that look good with sagging and ones that don’t.”
This response quickly went viral, leading some netizens to accuse Tarzzan of shading the 16-year-old Keonho. Critics questioned why Tarzzan would comment on a minor idol’s attire, especially considering accusations of his own cultural appropriation of Black culture.
However, many fans have defended Tarzzan, emphasizing that he was simply responding to a fan’s hypothetical question and did not directly criticize Keonho.
Supporters argue that the viral post misinterpreted his comment and that he never made any statement specifically targeting the young idol.
The debate highlights the fine line between commentary and criticism in K-pop fashion and raises questions about how idols’ appearances are scrutinized online—especially during lighthearted or fashion-focused content.
