Taemin and no:ze are embroiled in dating rumors once again!
On April 15, a photo of no: ze and a man who is presumed to be Taemin is making the rounds online. They are hugging, linking arms, and being pretty affectionate.
While no:ze’s face is clearly visible, the man’s face is covered up with a scarf and hat. Some people think it might be Taemin based on how he has posed and styled, which does look similar to photos of him that have been shared before on SHINee Key’s Instagram.
The photos were allegedly taken in December 2023, and there were rumors that the two had already broken up.
On April 16, Taemin’s agency Big Planet Made revealed that they are “confirming” with the artist about the dating rumors. It became quite frustrating for fans as the agency did not give an official response for a day.
On Thursday (April 17), his agency BPM Entertainment, stated
“The two are close colleagues who have worked together. We kindly request that you refrain from making excessive speculation in the future. We kindly ask for your understanding as confirmation was slightly delayed due to Taemin’s ongoing schedule.”
Fans are speculating about a possible romance between the SHINee member and a popular dancer. In February 2024, rumors first emerged based on photos and posts on their social media and fan platforms.
Most fans believe that they heard Taemin’s voice in a video no:ze sent to her fans. They are also speculating that his ring performance at a concert was for the 29-year-old choreographer since she was in the audience that day.
After wrapping up his agency dispute in November 2023, her first official schedule was on Taemin’s ‘Guilty’ stage. She worked alongside other talented dancers like Bada, Rosalyn, Lian, and Shizumi.
After gaining popularity on ‘Street Woman Fighter,’ no:ze took a hiatus due to a bullying controversy and a dispute with her agency over the settlement. Following a period of reflection, she resumed her career with Taeyang’s ‘Shoot!’ and later appeared on ‘World of Street Woman Fighter’ in January.
On the other hand, Taemin debuted as the youngest member (maknae) of SHINee in May 2008. He is currently pursuing solo musical activities under Big Planet Made Entertainment after parting ways with SM Entertainment. He is scheduled to wrap up his world tour “Ephemeral Gaze” with encore concerts in Seoul on April 26-27. Next month, Taemin will reunite with SHINee for a comeback and a concert.
