A recent moment from ALLDAY PROJECT’s win on 'M Countdown' is gaining traction online, and it's not just for the group taking home a trophy.

As the group was announced as this week’s winner on the Mnet music show, member Tarzzan took a moment to hype up the audience. With excitement, he raised his arms and attempted to induce a cheer from the crowd. However, the response wasn’t as loud as expected. Instead of letting the moment fall flat, Tarzzan charismatically responded with, “Aww, cheer for us just once~”

Korean online communities quickly picked up on the moment, praising Tarzzan for his relaxed and confident personality. Many Korean netizens are applauding Tarzzan for not letting the moment become awkward, but kindly asked the audience for a cheer again.

One fan wrote, "When he tried to get a reaction and didn’t get one, instead of just awkwardly moving on, he said, 'Aw, just do it once for us~' and tried again. Someone like Tarzzan, who does that, makes things feel more natural, and it keeps everyone from feeling awkward." Another fan added, "Only about 15 of his own fans were in the live audience, and the rest were all other groups’ fans. It could’ve been an awkward moment because the crowd's response was weak, but he handled it cheerfully. People are reacting by saying he’s witty and seems like someone who would do well in social situations."

The fan also brought to attention Tarzzan's heartfelt acceptance speech to fans after the show. In the live streaming, Tarzzan thanked the members, his family, the company, and especially the fans for showing love and support for the group.

He shared, "I’m truly, truly so grateful. First of all, just being able to enjoy my work is something I’m incredibly thankful for. To stand on stage doing what I love—music—with people I love, and to be loved while doing something so fun, there’s really nothing better than this joyful moment. To my beloved family—Mom, Dad, Grandma, and all my relatives—thank you so much for supporting me from afar. I’m so grateful. And to The Black Label family, thank you for everything you've done to help me get to where I am today. I made a few mistakes on stage earlier and acted a bit cheeky too, but even those sides of me are being loved by you all, and that means the world to me. You’re truly the best. And thanks to DAYONE, we’re able to be here right now. Thank you."

Other netizens also praised Tarzzan and commented:

"No, but seriously, when I saw him trying to get a reaction during the speech without getting awkward, I was like, 'Whoa, who is this guy??' LOL. So cute, he’s variety show material."

"He seems to have a great personality LOL. His dialect is cute too."

"How does a total rookie already know how to get a crowd going like a pro at a trot concert? His personality is crazy charming."

"Maybe it’s because of the dialect, but he’s even cuter LOL."

"The more I see him, the more I like him."

"He’s a likable person. During the encore, he handed the trophy to Youngseo that Woochan was holding, did a celebratory toss, gave it to Bailey too, and in the end, all the members had it at some point during the speech. He just seems like a really good person."

"After seeing this post, I went on YouTube and watched the encore—it felt like a full-on concert LOL. They’re all seriously so good."

"Slightly unrelated, but I think it’s good when idols have some real-world experience before debuting… they genuinely seem to enjoy what they’re doing more."
