His comments quickly spread, not only because of the group mentioned, but also due to the timing and his own controversial reputation.

While appearing as a guest on Radio Star, Tarzzan reflected on idols he once admired, bringing up NewJeans by name. He spoke about having a strong fondness for the group and recalled participating in one of their music videos.

There was an idol group I really loved – NewJeans. I even appeared in their music video ‘Supernatural,’ and at that time I even dreamed, ‘What if I’m the next Hype Boy?‘

The remark immediately caught attention, given NewJeans’ ongoing legal conflict involving HYBE and ADOR, a topic that many idols have noticeably avoided addressing in public.

Some viewers interpreted Tarzzan’s decision to mention the group as a subtle show of support. With many industry figures remaining silent amid the dispute, his openness stood out to fans who felt that even acknowledging NewJeans carried weight under the current circumstances.

Others pointed out that this was not an isolated incident, as Tarzzan has previously spoken about enjoying the group’s music and has mentioned them positively in fan interactions before.

However, the reaction was far from universally positive. Tarzzan’s history of controversy, particularly repeated accusations of cultural appropriation, resurfaced alongside the clip.

His wording also became a point of contention, with some taking issue with his use of past tense when referring to the group.

As a result, the moment has divided opinions sharply.
