ALLDAY PROJECT stole ideas, is about to go to court, is not good enough compared to BABYMONSTER?

Just after their debut, ALLDAY PROJECT quickly became a Kpop phenomenon with Teddy's signature Hip-hop color. However, besides the initial successes, the group was caught up in a series of scandals.

Legal battle over name with rapper Allday

Accordingly, an Australian rapper, using the stage name Allday, publicly shared an image of an article about the "rookie" of The Black Label with a challenging status line.

Specifically, he said he had registered a trademark for the name Allday and although he was not as famous as Kpop groups, he was still willing to pursue this legal battle to the end, even implying that Kpop groups' music was "bad".

This statement quickly attracted the attention of the Kpop fan community, creating two opposing opinions. A part of netizens said that the male rapper had no chance of suing, because the group's official name is ALLDAY PROJECT - there is a legal difference.

On the other hand, there are also opinions that rapper Allday has the right to take legal action if he actually owns the trademark, but they think that the way he spoke was emotional, unprofessional and somewhat "childish".

Meanwhile, most netizens assert that it is unlikely that the rapper will be able to successfully sue. Because trademark rights are territorial rights – his trademark in Australia does not give him rights in Korea or any other country.

ALLDAY PROJECT is a separate brand registered by The Black Label in Korea. Rapper Allday does not own the ALLDAY brand in this country, so the rapper has no legal standing to sue unless he can prove his prior rights in the ginseng country market. Currently, Teddy and the company have not made any official comments regarding this issue.

Series of scandals before and after debut: "The tycoon's daughter" and accusations of cultural appropriation

In fact, even before their official debut, ALLDAY PROJECT was embroiled in a series of other controversies that significantly affected the group's image. First was the accusation of cultural appropriation: Member Tarzzan was heavily criticized for using a style that was considered to be borrowed from people of color in a disrespectful way, leading to negative reactions from the international community.

Then there's his controversial past: The internet dug up Tarzzan's old posts and found that he once expressed support for Tory Lanez, a Canadian rapper convicted of assaulting Megan Thee Stallion in 2023.

Annie Moon 's "noble" background also became the center of controversy when ALLDAY PROJECT announced its members. Some fans were excited, while others were skeptical that she was getting attention for her family background rather than her talent.

Finally, the "unwritten rule" was broken: Past images of Annie Moon with intimate gestures with the opposite sex were spread. This is considered to have violated the "unwritten rule" of Kpop idols to keep a clean image and keep distance from the opposite sex.

Comparison with BABYMONSTER: Two Different Paths of the New "YG" Generation

The fact that ALLDAY PROJECT has been embroiled in a series of controversies has made many people suddenly think of BABYMONSTER - another rookie girl group from YG Entertainment that debuted more than a year ago. Both groups are expected to inherit the strong "YG quality" and bring a new breeze to Kpop.

While BABYMONSTER has proven its global appeal with the album "DRIP" reaching the million-copy mark after only 7 months of release, ALLDAY PROJECT has been facing public pressure since the very beginning. "BLACKPINK's little sister", had a challenging debut period and some minor controversies, but did not encounter any serious scandals.

BABYMONSTER's rapid success was built on the foundation of quality music and a relatively "clean" image, while ALLDAY PROJECT, despite its impressive digital music and viewership achievements, is currently beset by legal and ethical issues. This shows that, although both have the "YG-branded" music style, the paths of these two rookie groups are taking very different directions.

With the continuous controversy, ALLDAY PROJECT's image is under a lot of pressure from public opinion. The attention for the group is undeniable, but whether the group can overcome the initial wave of opposition and prove their talent to maintain long-term appeal is still an open question.
