Former EXO Member Tao’s Confident Silence on Dating and Marriage Rumors with SM Trainee
Former EXO member Tao has been maintaining silence on dating and marriage rumors for the fourth consecutive year
On the 27th, Tao conducted a live broadcast through a social networking service, spending time communicating with fans.
During the broadcast, a fan asked Tao why he doesn’t acknowledge the dating rumors. Tao responded, ‘Is this wrong? Should celebrities disclose everything?’ He added, ‘Everyone has their own way of living, and no one can judge others.’
Tao also emphasized, ‘I think dating is a private matter. If someone acknowledges their relationship, you should congratulate them. However, it’s not wrong if they choose not to.’
Meanwhile, Tao has been embroiled in dating rumors with Shi Yang, a former SM Rookies trainee since 2020. Last year, there were sightings of them entering a house together or going on dates.
Earlier this year, Chinese media China Express reported that Tao and Shi Yang traveled to Korea and that Tao publicly confessed his love at a nightclub in Gangnam, Seoul, even sparking marriage rumors. It was particularly noted that Tao wrote ‘Love u Yi YANG’ on a large screen.
Tao debuted with EXO-M in 2012 and left the group in 2015, continuing a legal dispute with SM Entertainment over his exclusive contract. Since then, he has been active in China”
