Supermodel Anok Yai and ALLDAY PROJECT member Tarzzan have sparked romance rumours after being seen together following Gucci’s Cruise 2027 runway show in New York City.

According to social media footage and fan photographs circulating online, Yai was seen holding Tarzzan’s hand and linking arms with him outside the event after the show concluded. The pair were photographed spending time together following the high-profile fashion event, prompting widespread discussion online.

The appearance sparked buzz among fans due to Tarzzan's history of allegations involving cultural appropriation and racism.

Last year, the K-pop idol drew backlash after a viral video appeared to show him allegedly saying the N-word while rapping along to Playboi Carti’s “LIKE WEEZY” during a car appearance. 

Critics have also pointed to the singer’s long-standing use of hairstyles, grills and fashion associated with Black culture since his debut, with online discussions questioning the industry’s handling of cultural appropriation within K-pop.

Meanwhile, Yai attracted major attention at Gucci’s Cruise 2027 presentation in Times Square, which marked designer Demna’s debut Cruise collection for the luxury house, titled “GucciCore”.

The model wore a fitted black gown with a glossy snakeskin print, dramatic cut-outs and dark gothic-inspired styling that quickly went viral across fashion platforms.
