Tarzzan Falls During Crowd-Surfing Attempt at Seoul University Festival

Tarzzan of co-ed K-pop group ALLDAY PROJECT fell during the group’s performance at Konkuk University in Seoul on Thursday. He jumped backward from the stage in what appeared to be an attempt to crowd surf, expecting the audience to catch him. Instead, he landed on the ground, prompting an alarming moment for the performer and nearby concertgoers.

Many fans had their phones raised to record the set, leaving them unable to support Tarzzan as he came down. Security personnel helped him back onto the stage. He then checked whether audience members were all right and apologized before continuing the performance. Tarzzan completed the set despite the fall.

The incident drew attention to the challenge of crowd surfing when concertgoers are filming with smartphones. The practice traditionally relies on people in the audience supporting a performer, but raised phones can make that harder. The fall was also reported as spreading across social media, bringing renewed focus to the contrast between the concert ritual and current fan habits.
